AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) (IF EQUIPPED)

The Autonomous Emergency Braking

(AEB) helps avoid accidents by identify‐

ing critical situations early and warning

the driver.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

using the Autonomous Emergency

Braking (AEB):

• This system is only a supplemen‐

tal system and it is not intended

to, nor does it replace the need for

extreme care and attention of the

driver. The sensing range and ob‐

jects detectable by the sensors are

limited. Pay attention to the road

conditions at all times.

• NEVER drive too fast for the road

conditions or too quickly when cor‐

nering.

• Always drive cautiously to prevent

unexpected and sudden situations

from occurring. AEB does not stop

the vehicle completely and does

not avoid collisions.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• AEB operates according to the dis‐

tance from the vehicle ahead, rela‐

tive velocity, and driver's operation

of the brake or accelerator pedal.

Do not drive dangerously to inten‐

tionally operate the AEB.

• ALWAYS check the speed and the

distance to the vehicle ahead. The

AEB is not a substitute for safe

driving practices.

AEB Operation

Warning message

Driving your vehicle

5-46

A warning message and chime will

sound when you need to use the brake

pedal or steering wheel due to a sud‐

den stop or lack of distance with the

vehicle ahead. The warning messages

will vary according to the severity of

the situation. Immediately reduce your

speed to prevent a collision.

Brake operation

In a critical situation:

• The brake assist system enters

standby mode to react promptly

when the driver operates the brake

pedal.

• The vehicle automatically reduces

speed according to the severity of

the situation.

- Rapidly reduces speed when vehi‐

cle speed is under 80 km/h

- Slowly reduces speed when vehicle

speed is over 80 km/h

• If the driver uses the brake pedal to

reduce vehicle speed, the brake assist

system operates to increase braking

efficiency.

• If the driver presses down hard on

the accelerator pedal or sharply turns

the steering wheel, the brake assist

system is canceled.

Seat belt operation

The driver's and passenger's seat belt

may tighten if the system detects that

a vehicle or object is close.

NOTICE

• If the AEB is canceled from the

User Settings Mode or there is a

problem with the AEB system, the

Automatic Emergency Mode will

not work.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• If the ESC is off or there is a prob‐

lem with the ESC system, the Au‐

tomatic Emergency Mode will not

work.

• The ESC must be on for the Auto‐

matic Emergency Mode to control

ESC in collision situations.

To cancel the AEB

• When the AEB system is turned off,

the AEB warning light turns on.

(Warning message does not come

on.)

• If the sensor or cover is dirty or ob‐

scured with foreign matter such as

snow, the AEB warning light and

message comes on. In this case, the

AEB system may not function tem‐

porarily, but it does not indicate a

malfunction of the AEB system. Clean

the sensor or cover by using a soft

cloth.

• If there is a malfunction with the AEB

system, the AEB warning light and

message will come on. We recom‐

mend that the vehicle be checked by

an authorized Kia dealer.

• When the ESC (Electronic Stability

Control) or SCC (Smart Cruise Control)

message comes on, the AEB warning

message may come on but it does

not indicate a malfunction of the AEB

system.

WARNING

• Even if there is a malfunction to

the brake operation of the AEB,

when you depress the brake pedal,

the brake operates normally. AEB

brake operation does not operate

in certain hazardous situations.

• The AEB is designed to function

above approximately 8 km/h and

below approximately 180 km/h.

• The AEB does not detect:

- Persons or animals.
- Oncoming vehicles in the oppo‐

site lane or a vehicle in an inter‐

section.

- Stopped objects.

• The AEB cannot detect objects,

when:

- The sensors are covered with

dirt.

- There is heavy rain or heavy

snow.

- There is interference by elec‐

tromagnetic waves.

(Continued)

(Continued)

- There are strong radar reflec‐

tions.

- Driving in a curve.
- Driving uphill or downhill.
- Driving in areas under construc‐

tion.

- An object ahead is very narrow

such as motorcycles or bicycles.

- A vehicle suddenly enters your

lane.

- The camera cannot secure a

clear view.

- The camera cannot catch the

whole vehicle.

- An unusual shape vehicle is

ahead such as a trailer, special

access vehicle or a truck with

unique shaped cargo.

- Driving at night, the tail lamp of

the vehicle ahead is missing, in‐

stalled on an unusual place or

installed unevenly.

- Coming in or out of a tunnel,

where the illumination intensity

is high.

DRIVE MODE INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM

Drive mode / Snow mode

The driver can personalize the DRIVE

MODE based on vehicle control prefer‐

ence and driving style.

Below is a list of the message which

will appear on the upper AVN screen.

• NORMAL MODE:

Drive mode for smooth and high ride

quality.

• ECO (ACTIVE ECO) MODE:

Drive mode optimized for economic

driving.

• SPORT MODE:

Drive mode for aggressive driving and

solid ride quality.

• SMART MODE:

Depending on the driver's driving style

(Economic ↔ Aggressive), drive mode

will automatically change among ECO ↔

NORMAL ↔ SPORT.

• SNOW MODE

DRIVE MODE optimized for slippery

road surfaces.

Below is a diagram of mode changes

when pressing the DRIVE MODE button.

❈

When selecting the NORMAL

MODE , nothing will show up on the

dashboard

• If you select the SNOW MODE, the

SNOW MODE will operate regardless

of previously selected mode (NOR‐

MAL / ECO / SPORT / SMART).

Press the SNOW MODE button one

more time to return back to the pre‐

viously selected DRIVE MODE (NOR‐

MAL / ECO / SPORT / SMART).

Driving your vehicle

• If you turn off the engine of the vehi‐

cle in any of the NORMAL / ECO /

SMART MODE, and restart the en‐

gine, DRIVE MODE will memorize and

return to the previous drive mode

setting. (With exception of SPORT

MODE. If the engine is turned off in

SPORT MODE, DRIVE MODE will be re‐

set to NORMAL MODE).

ECO (Active ECO) mode

• ACTIVE ECO system enhan‐

ces fuel efficiency through

eco control of the engine

and transmission. The ac‐

tual fuel efficiency will de‐

pend on personal driving

style and habits.

• By pressing the DRIVE

MODE button and selecting

ECO MODE, green ECO indi‐

cator light will illuminate.

ECO mode driving

The vehicle engine and transmission will

operate in fuel economy oriented

mode.

ACTIVE ECO MODE system will restrain

fuel economy worsening driving habits,

such as suddenly starts and accelera‐

tions, compare to the NORMAL MODE.

Conditions that limit active ECO

mode

Below are a list of conditions in which

when in ACTIVE ECO MODE, the indica‐

tor light will not change, but the inter‐

nal system may operate differently.

• When engine coolant temperature is

low:

When temperature of the transaxle

oil is below the normal range, the AC‐

TIVE ECO MODE may become tempo‐

rarily unavailable until the transaxle

oil heats up after vehicle ignition.

• When in an uphill gradient:

Since the ACTIVE ECO MODE partially

limits the engine torque, ACTIVE ECO

MODE may become temporarily un‐

available when more torque is essen‐

tial for going uphill.

• When using the manual transmission

operation mode:

If transmission operation is changed

from automatic to manual, vehicle

will reflect it and automatically stop

the ACTIVE ECO MODE.

• SMART MODE is an intelligent driving mode which automatically selects the most appropriate drive mode (Eco‐

nomic ↔ Aggressive) by measuring usage of steering wheel, and accelerator pedal.

• When DRIVE MODE button is pressed and the SMART MODE is selected, SMART indicator will illuminate on the

dashboard.

• The color of the SMART MODE indicator light will depend on the driving style. If the driving style is economic,

average, and speedy, the indicator light will be green, white, and red in respective order.

• When the SMART MODE is activated, and the Engine Start/Stop button is turned off and on again, your car will

still maintain the SMART MODE.

CAUTION

• SMART MODE an intelligent driving mode and when the driving style is economic and fuel efficient, the SMART ECO MODE

will be automatically selected. The engine and transaxle system will become more fuel efficient, but the actual fuel econ‐

omy will depend on various driving factors (on uphill/ downhill, heavy revving or braking).

• If you make sudden accelerations or turns in SMART MODE, the intelligent mode will select SMART SPORT MODE. This

may decrease fuel efficiency.

DRIVE MODE Indicator Screen

The DRIVE MODE indicator screen can

be displayed by using the trip computer

button on the steering wheel.

DRIVE MODE indicator screen displays

status of current drive mode.

• DRIVE MODE button is located on the

lower part of the transmission lever

for selecting drive mode.

If drive mode is selected manually by

the user, the drive mode indicator

screen will show user-selected drive

mode. (NORMAL, ECO, or SPORT)

If SMART MODE is selected by DRIVE

MODE button, the drive mode indica‐

tor screen will show current drive

mode automatically selected by

SMART MODE system. (SMART NOR‐

MAL, SMART ECO, or SMART SPORT)

• When the trip computer mode is se‐

lected to show DRIVE MODE and the

SMART MODE is in operation, an au‐

tomatically selected driving mode

SMART ECO, SMART NORMAL, or

SMART SPORT, will be selected on the

cluster's center.

And right below is the horizontal driv‐

ing style gauge which reflects the

driving style in real time.

• If you drive carefully and slowly in

SMART MODE, the left side of the

driving style gauge will illuminate,

and be automatically shifted to the

SMART ECO MODE.

When the driver accelerates more

frequently, the right side of the driv‐

ing style gauge will fill up, and shift to

SMART NORMAL MODE.

In addition, if the rate of acceleration

and speed is high, drive mode will

change to SMART SPORT MODE.

• If the auto cruise control function is

operated or the transmission is shif‐

ted to manual mode while SMART

MODE is on, the SMART MODE will

stop temporarily, and the DRIVE

MODE will be displayed as OFF. The

driving style gauge light will be

turned off accordingly.

Driving your v

ehicle

• If the trip computer is not set to

show DRIVE MODE indicator screen,

and you want to know the on/off

status of the SMART MODE, simply

check whether the letters 'SMART' is

lighten up on the screen or not (green

- ECO MODE, white - NORMAL MODE,

red - SPORT MODE).

Driving Style Gauge

Once the SMART MODE is selected by

pressing the DRIVE MODE button, and

the DRIVE MODE indicator screen is se‐

lected by pressing the trip computer

button on the steering wheel, the driv‐

ing style gauge bar will show up at the

bottom of screen and visualize current

style of driving.

• Left poles of the driving style gauge

indicates degree of economic and

gentle driving in green color. The

more economic and gentle you drive,

the more left poles will light up in

green.

Likewise, the right pole of the driving

style gauge indicates degree of ag‐

gressive and sporty driving in red col‐

or. The faster and more aggressive

you drive, the more far right poles

will light up in red.

• When driving style gauge fills up to‐

ward left side (or Economic side) and

kept for certain time, then your vehi‐

cle will be automatically switch to

SMART ECO MODE.

Likewise, when driving style gauge

fills up toward right side (or Aggres‐

sive side) and kept for certain time,

then your vehicle will be automatical‐

ly the switch to SMART SPORT MODE.

• If you wish to maintain the SMART

ECO MODE for better fuel economy,

try to maintain an economic driving

style and keep the driving style

gauge green.

5-56

Attributes of SMART MODE.

• If the accelerator pedal is pressed

gently, your vehicle will recognize it

as an economic driving style. After

some time, the system will automati‐

cally shift to SMART ECO MODE.

• If you press the accelerator pedal

frequently and heavily in SMART ECO

MODE, the system will automatically

shift to SMART NORMAL MODE.

• Even when driving style has not

changed from SMART ECO MODE, if

your vehicle is driven uphill considera‐

bly, the system will detect the gradi‐

ent. Then, the SMART system will au‐

tomatically change the setting to the

SMART NORMAL MODE temporarily.

Once your vehicle is out of the hilly

ground, your vehicle will automatical‐

ly return to the SMART ECO MODE.

• The SMART system will recognize

sudden and repetitive acceleration or

steering as aggressive driving and au‐

tomatically turn to the SMART SPORT

MODE. Your vehicle will run at a lower

gear in SMART SPORT MODE com‐

pared to those in SMART NORMAL

MODE.

The vehicle's start and stop response

rate will become faster.

• When the SMART SPORT MODE is ac‐

tivated, and you take your feet off

the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will

remain in low gear and you may

sense engine brake. This is due to

necessary preparatory time for the

next acceleration and is only normal.

• The SMART SPORT MODE is activated

only when very aggressive and high

speed is detected. Therefore, in aver‐

age driving styles, the SMART system

will select either SMART ECO or

SMART NORMAL MODE.

• The artificial intelligence algorithm

will instantly calculate each driver's

style of driving. So if the driver is

changed to a different person, the al‐

gorithm will measure accordingly.

Conditions which Limit SMART

MODE

In following conditions your vehicle will

temporarily stop the SMART Mode and

the indicator light will turn off.

• When using the manual transmission

operation mode: If the transaxle sys‐

tem is changed from automatic to

manual, your vehicle will automatical‐

ly stop the SMART MODE.

If transmission operation is changed

from automatic to manual, the vehi‐

cle will reflect it and automatically

stop the SMART MODE.

• When the Cruise Control system is

turned on:

When the driver sets a target cruise

control speed, your vehicle will auto‐

matically stop the SMART MODE.

(The SMART MODE will not stop im‐

mediately after you press the cruise

control button, but when the cruise

control system takes control of the

vehicle speed.)

• If the temperature of the transaxle

oil is very high or low:

The SMART MODE control system will

operate in nearly all driving condi‐

tions. But when the temperature of

the transaxle oil is out of the normal

range, the SMART MODE system may

become temporarily unavailable.

tomatically to maximise passenger

comfort by using the air spring in the

suspension.

You can also control the vehicle suspen‐

sion manually in NORMAL mode or HIGH

mode.

To control the vehicle height

• Push the vehicle height control but‐

ton to select the HIGH mode that

makes the vehicle height be higher

than the NORMAL mode and the indi‐

cator light on the vehicle height con‐

trol button will illuminate. It is useful

on rough roads.

• Push the vehicle height control but‐

ton again to select the NORMAL

mode that makes the vehicle height

lower than the HIGH mode. The indi‐

cator light in the vehicle height con‐

trol button will go off.

• When the vehicle stops with the shift

lever in P(Park) or N(Neutral), you

may change the vehicle height.

• When you drive under 70 km/h, you

may select the HIGH mode.

• If the vehicle speed exceeds 70 km/h

while driving in the HIGH mode, the

NORMAL mode will be selected auto‐

matically.

• If the vehicle speed exceeds

120 km/h while driving in NORMAL

mode, the LOW mode that is lower

than NORMAL mode will be selected

automatically. LOW mode can not be

selected manually.

• When you drive under 80 km/h in the

LOW mode, the NORMAL mode will be

selected automatically.

• When the engine start/stop button is

turned off with the HIGH mode selec‐

ted, the HIGH mode will be main‐

tained.

It is to prevent damage under the ve‐

hicle when parked in rough roads.

• The height of the vehicle may be ad‐

justed after the engine start/stop

button

is

turned

off

for

2 hours/5 hours/10 hours.

It is to compensate vehicle height af‐

fected by outside temperature.

NOTICE

• When you drive over 70 km/h, you

may not select the HIGH mode.

• Do not operate ECS when the air

filter of the compressor in the

lower part of the vehicle sinks un‐

der water.

Indraft of water into the compres‐

sor may happen, and ECS may not

operate normally.

ECS (Electronic Controlled

Suspension) malfunction

warning message

If the ECS warning message may come

on, you may have a problem with the

ECS system. Kia recommends to visit

an authorized Kia dealer/service part‐

ner.

NOTICE

• Make sure there are no objects

under the vehicle before changing

the vehicle height.

• A click sound may be heard while

operating ECS, but these condi‐

tions are normal and indicate that

ECS is functioning properly.

• Depending on the outside temper‐

ature the vehicle height may be

different.

• When the vehicle is parked with

one side of the vehicle lifted or ve‐

hicle speed is suddenly acceler‐

ated/decelerated or the steering

wheel is suddenly turned, the

height may not temporarily be ad‐

justed. This is to protect the sys‐

tem.

• When one side of the vehicle was

lifted with a jack, the height may

not temporarily be adjusted. The

ECS will operate normally when

the engine is turned on again or

when the vehicle is accelerated.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• When the vehicle is not driven for

a long period of time, vehicle

height may get low. The ECS will

operate normally when the engine

is turned on.

NOTICE

• If the battery is discharged, the

ECS warning message may comes

on to protect the system.

• When the height is adjusted re‐

peatedly, the height may not tem‐

porarily be adjusted for the com‐

pressor overheats. This is to pre‐

vent damage to related parts.

CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

1. Cruise indicator
2. Set speed

The cruise control system allows you to

program the vehicle to maintain a con‐

stant speed without depressing the ac‐

celerator pedal.

This system is designed to function

above approximately 30 km/h.

WARNING

• If the cruise control is left on,

(CRUISE indicator light in the in‐

strument cluster is illuminated),

the cruise control can be switched

on accidentally. Keep the cruise

control system off (CRUISE indica‐

tor light OFF) when the cruise con‐

trol is not in use, to avoid inadver‐

tently setting a speed.

• Use the cruise control system only

when driving on open highways in

good weather.

• Do not use the cruise control when

it may not be safe to keep the ve‐

hicle at a constant speed, for in‐

stance, driving in heavy or varying

traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy or

snow-covered) or winding roads or

over 6% uphill or down-hill roads.

• Pay particular attention to the

driving conditions whenever using

the cruise control system.

• Be careful when driving downhill

using the cruise control system,

which may increase the vehicle

speed.

NOTICE

• During normal cruise control oper‐

ation, when the SET switch is acti‐

vated or reactivated after applying

the brakes, the cruise control will

energize

after

approximately

3 seconds. This delay is normal.

• To activate cruise control, depress

the brake pedal at least once after

pressing the Engine Start/Stop

button to the ON position or start‐

ing the engine. This is to check if

the brake switch, which is an im‐

portant part, to cancel cruise con‐

trol, is in normal condition.
