Kia Forte: Smart Cruise Control / Limitations of the system
The smart cruise control system may
have limits to its ability to detect distance
to the vehicle ahead due to
road and traffic conditions.
On curves

- On curves, the smart cruise control
system may not immediately
detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and then your vehicle could
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will rapidly
decrease when the vehicle ahead
is suddenly recognized.
- Select the appropriate set speed
on curves and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelerator
or brake pedal according to the
road and driving conditions ahead.

• Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal according
to the road and driving conditions
ahead. Apply the accelerator
pedal and select the appropriate set
speed. Check to be sure that the
road conditions permit safe operation
of the smart cruise control.
