Cruise Control operation

Setting set speed

  1. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 30 km/h (20 mph).

  2. Press the Driving Assist button at the desired speed. The set speed and Cruise () indicator will illuminate on the cluster.

  3. Release the accelerator pedal.

    Vehicle speed will maintain the set speed even when the accelerator pedal is not depressed.

NOTICE
  • The vehicle may slightly slow down or speed up while driving uphill or downhill.

  • The Driving Assist button symbol may vary depending on your vehicle option.

Increasing set speed

  • Push the + switch up and release it immediately. The set speed will increase by 1 km/h (1 mph) each time the switch is operated in this manner.

  • Push the + switch up and hold it whilst monitoring the set speed on the cluster. The set speed will increase to the nearest multiple of ten (multiple of five in mph) at first, and then increase by 10 km/h (5 mph) each time the switch is operated in this manner.

    Release the switch when the desired speed is shown and the vehicle will accelerate to that speed.

Decreasing set speed

  • Push the - switch down and release it immediately. The set speed will decrease by 1 km/h (1 mph) each time the switch is operated in this manner.

  • Push the - switch down and hold it whilst monitoring the set speed on the cluster. The set speed will decrease to the nearest multiple of ten (multiple of five in mph) at first, and then decrease by 10 km/h (5 mph) each time the switch is operated in this manner.

    Release the switch at the speed you want to maintain.

Accelerating temporarily

If you want to speed up temporarily when Cruise Control is on, depress the accelerator pedal.

To return to the set speed, take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

If you push the (+) switch up or (-) switch down at increased speed, the set speed will be set to the current increased speed.

Temporarily pausing Cruise Control

Cruise Control will be paused when:

  • Depressing the brake pedal.

  • Pressing the button.

  • Shifting the gear to N (Neutral).

  • Decreasing vehicle speed to less than 30 km/h (20 mph).

  • ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is operating.

  • The vehicle speed is above 180 km/h (110 mph).

The set speed will turn off but the Cruise () indicator will stay on.

NOTICE

If Cruise Control pauses during a situation that is not mentioned, have the vehicle checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Resuming Cruise Control

Operate the +, - switch or button.

If you push the + switch up or - switch down, vehicle speed will be set to the current speed on the cluster.

If you press the button, vehicle speed will resume to the preset speed.

Vehicle speed must be above 30 km/h (20 mph) for the function to resume.
