SMART CRUISE CONTROL (SCC)*

Smart Cruise Control is designed to detect a vehicle ahead and help maintain the set distance from the vehicle ahead and the set speed. When SCC detects the driver is attempting to overtake a vehicle in front, SCC may help by accelerating the vehicle speed.

***

With SCC activated, the vehicle distance set, and the system detects a vehicle slowing or stopping, the system can bring the vehicle to a complete stop. When the vehicle ahead starts to move forward, SCC re-engages. If the vehicle ahead stops for more than 3 seconds, depress the accelerator pedal or operate the switch to start moving the vehicle. Smart Cruise Control will adjust acceleration based on the drive mode selected in the Drive Mode Integrated Control system.

To set/adjust SCC speed:

Press the button to turn system ON and set speed. The CRUISE indicator will illuminate on the Instrument Cluster
Increase speed: Press the switch up to increase the set vehicle speed
Decrease speed: Press the switch down to decrease the set vehicle speed
The indicator light, set speed and vehicle distance will illuminate on the Instrument Panel screen

To pause or resume SCC operation: Press the pause/resume button . The SCC indicator on the Instrument Panel will turn off.

To set the vehicle-to-vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button on the Infotainment System on the right of the steering wheel. The image on the LCD screen will change when scrolling through the settings.

To turn SCC system OFF: Press the Driving Assist button .

Quick Tips:

Pressing the brake pedal cancels the SCC operation
For SCC to operate:
— When no vehicle is in front, you must be traveling at 5 mph minimum
— When following a vehicle, there is no minimum speed requirement
— If your vehicle speed is between 0-20 mph when pressing the Driving Assist button to turn SCC on, the set speed will be set to 20 mph

Reminders:

SCC will not activate until the brake pedal has been depressed at least once after the ignition is on or engine started
When following a vehicle, SCC will automatically adjust your vehicle speed based on the vehicle detected in front
SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of Drive, EPB is activated and various other conditions. See the Owner’s Manual for other conditions
If SCC is left on, it can be activated inadvertently. Keep SCC off when not in use to avoid setting a speed that the driver is not aware of
It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead
SCC may decelerate if a surrounding vehicle intervenes in front of your vehicle
SCC may not recognize unexpected and sudden situations or complex driving situations, so always pay attention to driving conditions and control your vehicle speed. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead

Certain features are available on select Kia models.

The SCC system is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. Driving while distracted is dangerous and should be avoided.

Drivers should remain attentive to driving and always exercise caution when using the steering-wheel-mounted controls while driving.
