Kia Picanto: Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA): (if equipped) / Intelligent Speed Limit Assist malfunction and limitations

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist malfunction

A: Check Speed Limit system

If Intelligent Speed Limit Assist in the Kia Picanto is not working correctly, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster for a limited time. The Master warning light () and the Intelligent Speed Limit Assist warning light () also illuminate.

If this happens, have the function checked by an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist disabled

A: Speed Limit System disabled. Camera obscured

Snow, rain or other material on the windscreen in front of the camera can obstruct its view, reduce detection performance and temporarily limit or disable Intelligent Speed Limit Assist. If this occurs, a warning message appears on the Kia Picanto’s instrument cluster along with the Master warning light () and the Intelligent Speed Limit Assist warning light ().

Clear the material from the windscreen. Once it has been removed and you begin driving again, the warning light should go out and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist should resume normal operation. Keep the camera area clear.

If the function still does not work correctly after the obstruction has been removed, have it checked by an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

WARNING

Limitations of Intelligent Speed Limit Assist

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist may not recognise signs correctly or may respond unexpectedly in the following situations:

• A road sign is dirty, obscured or difficult to distinguish.

  • Rain, snow, fog or other poor weather makes the sign hard to see.

  • Nearby objects or shadows partly cover the sign.

• A road sign does not follow the standard format.

  • The sign’s wording or symbol differs from the standard design.

  • The sign is positioned between the main road and an exit, or between roads that split apart.

  • A sign is attached to another vehicle.

• The road sign is far from the Kia Picanto.

• The vehicle passes a sign that is illuminated.

• The system mistakes numbers or symbols on a street sign or another sign for a speed limit.

• A minimum speed limit sign is misidentified.

• Lighting changes suddenly, such as when entering or leaving a tunnel or passing beneath a bridge.

• Sunlight, street lighting or the headlamps of oncoming vehicles reflect off a sign and make it difficult to read.
