Manual Speed Limit Assist lets you set a maximum speed for the Kia Sportage when you want to avoid driving above a chosen limit.

If you accelerate beyond the set limit, the displayed speed flashes and an audible alert sounds. These alerts continue until the vehicle returns to or below the selected speed.

Manual Speed Limit Assist operation

Setting the speed limit

At the speed you want to set, press and hold the Driving Assist button (). The Speed Limit indicator () appears on the instrument cluster.
Move the (+) switch up or the (−) switch down, then release it when the desired speed is displayed. Each brief operation changes the set speed by 1 km/h (1 mph).

To adjust the speed in larger increments, move and hold the (+) or (−) switch. The set speed changes in increments of 10 km/h (5 mph).
The selected speed limit is shown on the instrument cluster. If you need to drive faster than the set limit, press the accelerator pedal.

While the vehicle is travelling above the limit, the set speed flashes and an audible alert sounds. The alerts stop when the vehicle speed returns to the set limit or below it.

NOTE

To exceed the set limit, press the accelerator pedal firmly until the kickdown function activates.

Temporarily pausing Manual Speed Limit Assist

Press the pause switch () to suspend the active speed limit temporarily. The set speed disappears, but the Speed Limit indicator () remains illuminated.

Resuming Manual Speed Limit Assist

After pausing MSLA, use the (+), (−) or resume switch () to activate it again.

Move the (+) switch up or the (−) switch down to set the limit to the current speed shown on the instrument cluster.
