Kia Sportage: Smart Cruise Control malfunction

A: Check Driver Assistance system

If Smart Cruise Control (SCC) detects a fault, a warning message appears on the Kia Sportage instrument cluster and clears after a certain period. The Master Warning Light () also illuminates.

Have SCC inspected by a qualified workshop. Kia recommends contacting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

Smart Cruise Control disabled

A: Driver Assistance system limited. Radar blocked.

Snow, rain or other foreign material covering the front radar cover or sensor can interfere with detection and temporarily limit or disable SCC.

While the system is limited, warning messages appear on the instrument cluster and the Master Warning Light () illuminates. The messages clear after a certain period. This condition does not necessarily indicate a fault in Smart Cruise Control.

Remove snow, rain or other material from the affected area. The Kia Sportage’s SCC should operate normally once the radar’s view is clear.
