- You can set the cruise control to any speed above 30 km/h (20 mph).
To temporarily accelerate with the cruise control on
If you want to speed up temporarily when the cruise control is on, depress the accelerator pedal. Increased speed will not interfere with cruise control operation or change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your foot off the accelerator.
If you move the lever down (to SET-) at increased speed, the cruising speed will be set again.
✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating temporarily, because the speed is not regulated automatically at this time even if there is a vehicle in front of you.
SCC will be temporarily canceled when
Cancelled manually

- Decreasing the vehicle speed to less than approximately 10 km/h (5 mph).
- The accelerator pedal is continuously depressed for more than 5 minute.
Each of these actions will cancel the SCC operation. (the SET indicator, set speed and vehicle to vehicle distance on the LCD display will go off.)
In a condition the SCC is cancelled automatically, the SCC will not resume even though the RES+ or SET- lever is moved.
If the SCC is cancelled by other than the reasons mentioned, have the system checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
If the system is automatically cancelled, the warning chime will sound and a message will appear for a few seconds.
You must adjust the vehicle speed by depressing the accelerator or brake pedal according to the road condition ahead and driving condition.
Always check the road conditions. Do not rely on the warning chime.
To resume cruise control set speed
If any method other than the CRUISE button was used to cancel cruising speed and the system is still activated, the cruising speed will automatically resume when you move the lever up/down (to RES+ or SET-).
If you move the lever up (to RES+), the speed will resume to the recently set speed.
It will not resume, however, if the vehicle speed has dropped below approximately 10 km/h (5 mph) when the sensor detects the vehicle ahead or if the vehicle speed has dropped below approximately 30 km/h (20mph) when there is no vehicle in front of your vehicle.
To reduce the risk of an accident, always check the road conditions when reactivating the smart cruise control using the RES+ lever to ensure the road conditions permit safe use of the cruise control.
To turn cruise control off
Press the CRUISE button. (the CRUISE indicator light in the instrument cluster will go off).
