What is Kia Smart Cruise Control?

I just bought a new Kia Sorento, and I love it, but I can’t figure out how the cruise control works. What is the Kia Smart Cruise Control, and how does it work?

Congratulations on your new car—the
Sorento
is awesome!
Kia’s
Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go is pretty easy to use. When using this feature, your car will maintain both the specific speed you set and maintain distance from the vehicle ahead of you at the same time.
By setting the cruise control and distance settings, your car will use its advanced sensor systems to automatically bring you to a stop if the vehicles ahead of you stop. When traffic gets moving again, your vehicle will accelerate back to cruising speed all by itself—perfect for rush hour traffic!
Here’s how you set your cruise control:
  • Press the CRUISE button on the steering wheel
  • Accelerate to your desired speed
  • Press the SET button
You can set the Stop and Go features by toggling the distance control on and off. You can choose between four preset distances: 87 ft, 107 ft, 131 ft, and 172 ft. Just press and hold the DISTANCE control button on the steering wheel (next to CANCEL).
Technological advancements are improving the way we drive our cars—it’s about time your car insurance got an update!
