When Using The Smart Cruise Control Take The Following Precautions - Kia Soul 2018 Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle
When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following precau-
tions:
• If an emergency stop is necessary,
you must apply the brakes. The
vehicle cannot be stopped at every
emergency situation by using the
Smart Cruise Control System.
• 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.
• Always maintain sufficient braking
distance and decelerate your vehi-
cle by applying the brakes if neces-
sary.
• 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.

• Vehicles moving in front of you with
a frequent lane change may cause
a delay in the system's reaction or
may cause the system to react to a
vehicle actually in an adjacent
lane. Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
• Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance. The driver should not solely
rely on the system but always pay
attention to driving conditions and
control your vehicle speed.
• The Smart Cruise Control System
may not recognize complex driving
situations so always pay attention
to driving conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
• Make sure to be well informed of
the owner's manual and practice
using the smart cruise control sys-
tem to ensure the safe use of the
system.
• After an engine start, please stop
for several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
SCC does not normally operate.
• After an engine start, if any objects
are not detected or the sensor
cover is obscured with foreign sub-
stances, there is a possibility that
the SCC system may not work.
• The following conditions may
cause a malfunction: over-loading
the liftgate, suspension modifica-
tion, tire replacement with unau-
thorized tires or tires with different
tread wear and pressure levels.
