Kia Sportage: Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control operation

Operating conditions

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is ready to operate only when all of the following conditions are met:

• Auto Highway Speed Change is enabled in the instrument cluster or infotainment system settings.

• Smart Cruise Control is active.

• The vehicle is travelling on the main carriageway of a highway or motorway.

NOTE

For instructions on using Smart Cruise Control, see the Smart Cruise Control (SCC) section.

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control display and control

When Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is active or ready, its status is shown on the Kia Sportage instrument cluster as described below.

Standby

When all operating conditions are met, the green indicator appears to show that the system is ready.

Operating

While the system is controlling the vehicle’s speed, the green indicator is illuminated.

Pause/driver operation

If Smart Cruise Control is paused or navigation rerouting prevents it from operating, the grey indicator appears on the instrument cluster.

If the driver presses the accelerator pedal, the white indicator flashes on the cluster.

WARNING

The following warning appears if Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control cannot reduce the vehicle’s speed to a safe level:

A: Drive carefully

• Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control cannot slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach a safe speed.

NOTE

Instrument cluster images and colours may vary with the cluster type or the theme selected in the settings menu.

Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown

When the Kia Sportage approaches a mapped curve on a highway or motorway, the system can reduce speed for the bend. After the vehicle passes the curve, it accelerates back to the Smart Cruise Control set speed.

NOTE

The point at which deceleration begins depends on the vehicle’s speed and the curve’s sharpness. At higher speeds, the system begins slowing down earlier.
