Kia EV2: Smart Cruise Control operation / Smart Cruise Control display and control

• The instrument cluster displays the distance from the vehicle ahead according to the actual distance between that vehicle and yours.

• The target distance may vary according to the vehicle speed and the set distance level. If the vehicle speed is low, even though the vehicle distance has changed, the change of the target vehicle distance may be small.

• The images or colours may display differently depending on the specifications of the instrument cluster or theme.

• The surrounding objects displayed in the cluster may differ from reality.

Be careful when accelerating temporarily, as Smart Cruise Control does not control the speed and distance automatically, even if there is a vehicle ahead of you.

• Even if a vehicle is travelling ahead in your Kia EV2, the vehicle can be driven in accordance with the speed and following distance of a vehicle in an adjacent passing lane.

• Whilst Overtaking Prevention is operating, the Accelerating function does not operate.

• Overtaking Prevention operates at speeds of 60 km/h (40 mph) or higher. The function does not operate in cases of sudden deceleration or when the vehicle is too close to a vehicle in an adjacent lane.

• When travelling between countries with different traffic directions, Overtaking Prevention may operate differently from the local driving direction. If necessary, turn off the function before use.

• Always comply with the traffic laws and regulations of the country/region you are driving in and drive with caution.

If Smart Cruise Control is temporarily cancelled whilst the vehicle is at a standstill with the function activated, EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) may be applied.

When Smart Cruise Control is temporarily cancelled, the distance from the vehicle ahead will not be maintained. Always have your eyes on the road and, if necessary, engage the brake pedal to reduce your speed and maintain a safe distance.

• Always pay attention to vehicles or objects that may suddenly appear ahead of you and, if necessary, engage the brake pedal to reduce your speed and maintain a safe distance.

• Smart Cruise Control does not substitute for proper and safe driving. It is your responsibility to always check your speed and distance from a vehicle ahead in your Kia EV2.

• Smart Cruise Control may not recognise unexpected, sudden, or complex situations, so always pay attention to driving conditions and control the speed of your vehicle.

• Keep Smart Cruise Control OFF when you are not using it to avoid inadvertently setting a speed.

• Do not open any door or leave the vehicle whilst Smart Cruise Control is operating, even if the vehicle is stopped.

• Always be aware of the selected speed and distance ahead.

• Keep a safe distance according to the road conditions and vehicle speed. Driving at a high speed at too close a distance may result in a serious collision.

• When maintaining distance with a vehicle ahead, if that vehicle disappears from view, Smart Cruise Control may suddenly accelerate to the set speed. Always be aware of unexpected and sudden situations.

• The vehicle speed may decrease on an upward slope and increase on a downward slope.

• Always be aware of unexpected situations, such as when a vehicle cuts into your lane suddenly.

• When towing a trailer or something similar, your vehicle may experience frequent shifting and the performance of Smart Cruise Control may be compromised. Always drive with caution.

• Turn OFF Smart Cruise Control when your vehicle is being towed.

• Smart Cruise Control may not operate properly in areas with strong electromagnetic interference.

• Smart Cruise Control may not detect an obstacle ahead, leading to a collision. Always look ahead to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring.

• Vehicles frequently changing lanes ahead of you may cause a delayed Smart Cruise Control reaction, or may cause Smart Cruise Control to react to a vehicle that is actually in an adjacent lane. Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring.

• Always be aware of your surroundings and drive safely, even when a warning message does not appear or an audible warning does not sound.

• Smart Cruise Control may not display a warning message or generate an audible warning if any other function’s warning message is displayed or audible warning is generated at the same time.

• You may not hear the warning sound of Smart Cruise Control if your surroundings are noisy.

• The vehicle manufacturer is not responsible for any traffic violation or accident you cause.

• Always set the vehicle speed under the posted speed limit.

• If your driving style changes, the distance, acceleration, and reaction speed may change.

• When Overtaking Prevention is operating, following distance control may be applied to a vehicle in an adjacent lane. If you do not wish to use this function, turn it off before use.

• You must drive your vehicle sufficiently for it to analyze your actual driving style, including vehicle distance, acceleration, and reaction speed.

• Based on Driving Style may not reflect your driving style or the driving conditions, which could affect safe driving.

• If you are driving in inclement conditions, such as snow, rain, fog, or steep hills, Smart Cruise Control may not drive your vehicle according to your driving style.

• Smart Cruise Control may not operate for a few seconds after you restart the vehicle or initialize the front view camera or front radar.

• You may hear a sound when Smart Cruise Control engages the brake.

• Based on Driving Style may not reflect your driving style in unsafe ways, such as rapid acceleration.

• Based on Driving Style does not reflect any aspects of driving style besides vehicle distance, acceleration, and reaction speed.
