Kia Forte: Limitations of the system / On inclines, Lane changing

On inclines

• During uphill or downhill driving, the smart cruise control system may not immediately detect a moving vehicle in your lane, and may cause your vehicle to accelerate to the set speed. Also, the vehicle speed may rapidly decrease when the vehicle ahead is suddenly recognized.
• Select the appropriate set speed on inclines and adjust your vehicle speed by depressing the accelerator or brake pedal according to the road and driving conditions ahead.

Lane changing

• A vehicle which moves into your lane from an adjacent lane cannot be recognized by the sensor until it is in the sensor's detection range.
• The sensor may not immediately detect when a vehicle cuts in suddenly. Always pay attention to the traffic, road and driving conditions.
• If a vehicle which moves into your lane is slower than your vehicle, your speed may decrease to maintain the distance to the vehicle ahead.

• If a vehicle which moves into your lane is faster than your vehicle, your vehicle will accelerate to the selected speed.

• Your vehicle may accelerate when a vehicle ahead of you moves out of the sensor's range and is not detected.
• When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detected, drive with caution.
