Cruise Control operation

Setting speed

Kia Picanto steering wheel controls for setting Cruise Control speed
  1. Accelerate to the speed you want to maintain. The selected speed must be above 30 km/h (20 mph).

  2. At the desired speed, press the Driving Assist button. The set speed and Cruise indicator (Cruise Control indicator displayed on the Kia Picanto instrument cluster) appear on the instrument cluster.

  3. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

    The Kia Picanto will maintain the set speed without accelerator input.

NOTE

  • The vehicle may lose speed slightly on an uphill slope or gain speed slightly on a downhill slope.

  • The Driving Assist button symbol may differ depending on the vehicle’s equipment.

Increasing set speed

  • Move the (+) switch up and release it immediately to increase the set speed by 1 km/h. When the cluster displays speed in mph, the speed increases in increments of 5 mph.

  • To raise the set speed more quickly, move and hold the (+) switch. The set speed increases in increments of 10 km/h.

    The maximum set speed is 180 km/h (110 mph). Depending on vehicle specifications and environmental conditions, the Kia Picanto may not be able to reach the selected speed.

Decreasing set speed

Kia Picanto steering wheel controls for decreasing the Cruise Control set speed
  • Move the (−) switch down and release it immediately to reduce the set speed by 1 km/h. To lower the speed more quickly, move and hold the (−) switch; the set speed decreases in increments of 10 km/h, or 5 mph when the cluster displays speed in mph.

  • The lowest speed that can be set is 30 km/h (20 mph).

Accelerating temporarily

To increase speed temporarily while Cruise Control is active, press the accelerator pedal.

Release the accelerator to return to the previously selected set speed.

If you move the (+) or (−) switch while travelling at the higher speed, Cruise Control sets the current speed as the new target.

Temporarily pausing Cruise Control

Cruise Control pauses in any of the following situations:

  • You press the brake pedal.

  • You press the pause switch (Cruise Control pause switch icon for the Kia Picanto).

  • You shift the transmission to N (Neutral).

  • The vehicle’s speed falls below or rises above the set speed.

  • ESC (Electronic Stability Control) operates.

The set speed is cleared from the display, while the Cruise indicator (Cruise Control indicator remaining on while Cruise Control is paused) stays illuminated.

NOTE

If Cruise Control pauses for a reason not listed above, Kia recommends having the system checked by an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

Resuming Cruise Control

Kia Picanto steering wheel controls for resuming Cruise Control

To resume Cruise Control, use the (+), (−) or resume (Cruise Control resume switch icon for the Kia Picanto) switch.

Moving the (+) switch up or the (−) switch down sets the target speed to the current speed shown on the instrument cluster.

Pressing the resume switch (Cruise Control preset speed resume icon for the Kia Picanto) restores the previously selected speed.

The vehicle must be travelling above 30 km/h (20 mph) for Cruise Control to resume.

WARNING

Check the traffic and road conditions before pressing the resume switch (Cruise Control resume control shown in the Kia Picanto manual). The vehicle’s speed may increase or decrease sharply when you press the switch (Cruise Control speed adjustment control shown in the Kia Picanto manual).

Turning off Cruise Control

Press the Driving Assist button to switch off Cruise Control. The Cruise indicator (Cruise Control indicator on the Kia Picanto instrument cluster) will go out.

When you are not using Cruise Control, switch it off to prevent setting a speed unintentionally.

NOTE

If the Kia Picanto is equipped with Manual Speed Limit Assist, press and hold the Driving Assist button to turn off Cruise Control. Manual Speed Limit Assist will then turn on.

WARNING

Follow these precautions when using Cruise Control:

  • Set a speed below the legal limit in the country where you are driving.

  • Switch Cruise Control off when it is not in use to avoid setting a speed by mistake. Check that the Cruise indicator (Cruise Control status indicator on the Kia Picanto instrument cluster) is off.

  • Cruise Control does not replace attentive, safe driving. The driver remains responsible for controlling the vehicle and responding to sudden or unexpected situations.

  • Drive cautiously, stay alert to changing conditions and keep your attention on the road.

  • Do not use Cruise Control when maintaining a constant speed may be unsafe, including:

    • In heavy traffic or when traffic conditions make it difficult to maintain a steady speed.

    • On wet, icy or snow-covered roads.

    • On hilly or winding roads.

    • In areas with strong winds.

    • When visibility is limited by fog, snow, rain, sandstorms or other poor weather.
