KIA Quoris (2018 year). Manual — part 20
A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized
correctly by the sensor if any of follow‐
ing occurs:
-
When the vehicle is pointing upwards
due to overloading in the trunk
-
While making turns by steering
-
When driving to one side of the lane
-
When driving on narrow lanes or on
curves
Adjust your vehicle speed by depressing
the brake pedal according to the road
condition ahead and driving condition.
• When vehicles are at a standstill and
the vehicle in front of you changes to
the next lane, be careful when your
vehicle starts to move because it
may not recognize the stopped vehi‐
cle in front of you.
• Always look out for pedestrians when
your vehicle is maintaining a distance
with the vehicle ahead.
• Always be cautious for vehicles with
higher height or vehicles carrying
loads that sticks out to the back of
the vehicle.
WARNING
• The smart cruise control system
cannot guarantee the stop for ev‐
ery emergency situation.
If an emergency stop is necessary,
you must apply the brakes.

• Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during a high-speed driv‐
ing, a serious collision may result.
• The smart cruise control system
cannot recognize a stopped vehi‐
cle, pedestrians or an oncoming
vehicle. Always look ahead cau‐
tiously to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occurring.
• When other vehicles are changing
lanes in front of you frequently,
the smart cruise control system
may not operate appropriately. Al‐
ways look ahead cautiously to pre‐
vent unexpected and sudden sit‐
uations from occurring.
• The smart cruise control system is
not a substitute for safe driving
practices but a convenience func‐
tion only. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
speed and the distance to the ve‐
hicle ahead.
• Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle to vehicle dis‐
tance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Always maintain sufficient braking
distance and decelerate your vehi‐
cle by applying the brakes if nec‐
essary.
• As the smart cruise control sys‐
tem may not recognize complex
driving situations, always pay at‐
tention to driving conditions and
control your vehicle speed.
• For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use.
CAUTION
The smart cruise control system
may not operate temporarily due to
electrical interference.

BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD)
uses a radar sensor to alert the driver.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides and indication to
the driver.
1. BSD (Blind spot detection)
Warning range is dependent on
your vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle speed is speedy about
10 km/h than other vehicle, the
warning is not operated.
2. LCA (Lane change assist)
When the vehicle is approaching to
your vehicle at high speed, the
warning is operated.
3. RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves back‐
ward, the sensor detects the ap‐
proaching vehicles to the left or
right side direction and warning is
operated.
WARNING
• Always check the road condition
while driving for unexpected situa‐
tions even though the Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) is operat‐
ing.
• The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) is a system made for con‐
venience. Do not solely rely on the
system but always pay attention
to drive safely.

only on the warning light and ne‐
glect to see the surrounding of the
vehicle.
• Drive safely even though the vehi‐
cle is equipped with a Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Do not
solely rely on the system but
check for yourself before changing
lanes or backing the vehicle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so al‐
ways check the surroundings while
driving.
• The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) are not a substitute for
proper and safe driving. Always

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers you can get from a li‐
ter of fuel. To operate your vehicle as
economically as possible, use the fol‐
lowing driving suggestions to help save
money in both fuel and repairs:
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod‐
erate rate. Do not make "jack-rabbit"
starts or full-throttle shifts and
maintain a steady cruising speed. Do
not race between stoplights. Try to
adjust your speed to the traffic so
you do not have to change speeds
unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic
whenever possible. Always maintain a
safe distance from other vehicles so
you can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The fast‐
er you drive, the more fuel your vehi‐
cle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway, is
one of the most effective ways to re‐
duce fuel consumption.
• Do not "ride" the brake pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and al‐
so increase wear on these compo‐
nents. In addition, driving with your
foot resting on the brake pedal may
cause the brakes to overheat, which
reduces their effectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
• Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres‐
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unneces‐
sary tire wear. Check the tire pres‐
sures at least once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment can re‐
sult from hitting curbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor
alignment causes faster tire wear
and may also result in other prob‐
lems as well as greater fuel con‐
sumption.
• Keep your vehicle in good condition.
For better fuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your ve‐
hicle in accordance with Chapter 8,
Maintenance. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (Chapter 8,
• Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi‐
mum service, your vehicle should be
kept clean and free of corrosive ma‐
terials. It is especially important that
mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the
vehicle. This extra weight can result
in increased fuel consumption and al‐
so contribute to corrosion.
• Travel lightly. Do not carry unneces‐
sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
• Do not let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.
• Remember, your vehicle does not re‐
quire extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine
to run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to
placing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warmup period.
• Do not "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting engine bucking.
If this happens, shift to a lower gear.
Over-revving is racing the engine be‐
yond its safe limit. This can be avoi‐
ded by shifting at the recommended
speeds.
5-87

Driving your v
ehicle
• Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper‐
ated by engine power so your fuel
economy is reduced when you use it.
• Open windows at high speeds can re‐
duce fuel economy.
• Fuel economy is less in crosswinds
and headwinds. To help offset some
of this loss, slow down when driving
in these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for econo‐
my and safety. Therefore, have the
system serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
n Engine off during motion
Never turn the engine off to coast
down hills or anytime the vehicle is
in motion. The power steering and
power brakes will not function prop‐
erly without the engine running. In‐
stead, keep the engine on and down‐
shift to an appropriate gear for en‐

gine braking effect. In addition, turn‐
ing off the engine while driving could
engage the steering wheel lock (if
equipped) resulting in loss of vehicle
steering which could cause serious
injury or death.

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and allow extra dis‐
tance for braking.
• Avoid sudden braking or steering.
WARNING
n ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
• If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or
other non-slip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
WARNING
n Downshifting
Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle, while driving on slippery
surfaces can cause an accident. The
sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful
when downshifting on slippery sur‐
faces.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first
turn the steering wheel right and left
to clear the area around your front
wheels. Then, shift back and forth be‐
tween R (Reverse) and any forward
gear in vehicles equipped with an auto‐
matic transaxle. Do not race the en‐
gine, and spin the wheels as little as
possible. If you are still stuck after a
few tries, have the vehicle pulled out by
a tow vehicle to avoid engine overheat‐
ing and possible damage to the trans‐
axle.
CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause engine
over-heating, transaxle damage or
failure, and tire damage.
WARNING
n Spinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially at
speeds more than 56 km/h . Spinning
the wheels at high speeds when the
vehicle is stationary could cause a
tire to overheat which could result in
tire damage that may injure by‐
standers.
NOTICE
The ESC system should be turned
OFF prior to rocking the vehicle.
5-89
5
Driving your v
ehicle
WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the ve‐
hicle. During the rocking operation
the vehicle may suddenly move for‐
ward or backward as it becomes un‐
stuck, causing injury or damage to
nearby people or objects.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in cor‐
ners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tire wear will be
held to a minimum.
Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to re‐
member:
• Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's headlights.
Driving your vehicle
5-90
• Keep your headlights clean and prop‐
erly aimed on vehicles not equipped
with the automatic headlight aiming
feature. Dirty or improperly aimed
headlights will make it much more
difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the head‐
lights of oncoming vehicles. You could
be temporarily blinded, and it will
take several seconds for your eyes to
readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not pre‐
pared for the slick pavement. Here are
a few things to consider when driving in
the rain:
• A heavy rainfall will make it harder to
see and will increase the distance
needed to stop your vehicle, so slow
down.
• Keep your windshield wiping equip‐
ment in good shape. Replace your
windshield wiper blades when they
show signs of streaking or missing
areas on the windshield.
• If your tires are not in good condition,
making a quick stop on wet pave‐
ment can cause a skid and possibly
lead to an accident. Be sure your tires
are in good shape.
• Turn on your headlights to make it
easier for others to see you.
• Driving too fast through large pud‐
dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to drive
through them slowly.
• If you believe you may have gotten
your brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking op‐
eration returns.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas un‐
less you are sure the water is no higher
than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slow‐
ly.

Driving your v
ehicle
Driving off-road
Drive carefully off-road because your
vehicle may be damaged by rocks or
roots of trees. Become familiar with
the off-road conditions where you are
going to drive before you begin driving.
Highway driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressures to
specification. Low tire inflation pres‐
sures will result in overheating and pos‐
sible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires
which may result in reduced traction or
tire failure.
NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tire in‐
flation pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING
• Underinflated or overinflated tires
can cause poor handling, loss of
vehicle control, and sudden tire
failure leading to accidents, inju‐
ries, and even death. Always check
the tires for proper inflation be‐
fore driving. For proper tire pres‐
sures, refer to Tires and wheels
• Driving on tires with no or insuffi‐
cient tread is dangerous. Worn-out
tires can result in loss of vehicle
control, collisions, injury, and even
death. Worn-out tires should be
replaced as soon as possible and
should never be used for driving.
Always check the tire tread before
driving your vehicle. For further in‐
formation and tread limits, refer
7-49.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
High speed travel consumes more fuel
than urban motoring. Do not forget to
check both engine coolant and engine
oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may re‐
sult in overheating of the engine.
Driving your vehicle

WINTER DRIVING
Severe weather conditions in the winter
result in greater wear and other prob‐
lems. To minimize the problems of win‐
ter driving, you should follow these
suggestions:
Snowy or icy conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tires or
to install tire chains on your tires. If
snow tires are needed, it is necessary
to select tires equivalent in size and
type of the original equipment tires.
Failure to do so may adversely affect
the safety and handling of your vehicle.
Furthermore, speeding, rapid accelera‐
tion, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns are potentially very haz‐
ardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden brake ap‐
plications on snowy or icy roads may
cause skids to occur. You need to keep
sufficient distance between the vehicle
in operation in front and your vehicle.
Also, apply the brake gently. It should
be noted that installing tire chains on
the tire will provide a greater driving
force, but will not prevent side skids.
NOTICE
Tire chains are not legal in all coun‐
tries. Check the country laws before
fitting tire chains.
Snow tires
If you mount snow tires on your vehi‐
cle, make sure they are radial tires of
the same size and load range as the
original tires. Mount snow tires on all
four wheels to balance your vehicle’s
handling in all weather conditions. Keep
in mind that the traction provided by
snow tires on dry roads may not be as
high as your vehicle's original equip‐
ment tires. You should drive cautiously
even when the roads are clear. Check
with the tire dealer for maximum
speed recommendations.
WARNING
n Snow tire size
Snow tires should be equivalent in
size and type to the vehicle's stand‐
ard tires. Otherwise, the safety and
handling of your vehicle may be ad‐
versely affected.
Do not install studded tires without
first checking local, state and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
