Kia Sportage: Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control limitations
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
may not operate normally under the following
circumstances:
- The navigation is not working properly
- Map information is not transmitted
due to infotainment system's abnormal
operation
- Speed limit and road information in
the navigation is not updated
- The map information and the actual
road is different because of real-time
GPS data or map information error
- The navigation searches for a route
while driving
- GPS signals are blocked in areas such
as a tunnel
- A road that divides into two or more
roads and joins again
- The driver goes off course the route
set in the navigation
- The route to the destination is
changed or canceled by resetting the
navigation
- The vehicle enters a service station or
rest area
- Android Auto or Car Play is operating
- The navigation cannot detect the current
vehicle position (ex: elevated
roads including overpass adjacent to
general roads or nearby roads exist in
a parallel way)
- The navigation is being updated while
driving
- The navigation is being restarted
while driving
- The speed limit of some sections
changes according to the road situations
- Driving on a road under construction
- Driving on a road that is controlled
- There is bad weather, such as heavy
rain, heavy snow, etc.
- Driving on a road that is sharply
curved

[1]: Set route, [2]: Branch line, [3]: Driving
route, [4]: Main road, [5]: Curved road
section
When there is a difference between
the navigation set route (branch line)
and the driving route (main road),
Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown
function may not operate until the driving route is recognized as the
main road.
When the vehicle's driving route is
recognized as the main road by maintaining
the main road instead of the
navigation set route, Highway Curve
Zone Auto Slowdown function will
operate. Depending on the distance to
the curve and the current vehicle
speed, vehicle deceleration may not
be sufficient or may decelerate rapidly.

section
- When there is a difference between
the navigation route (main road) and
the driving route (branch line), Highway
Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function
will operate temporarily based on
the curve information on the main
road.
- When it is judged that you are driving
out of the route by entering the highway
interchange or junction, Highway
Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function
will not operate.

[1]: Driving route, [2]: Branch line, [3]:
Curved road section, [4]: Main road
- If there is no destination set on the
navigation, Highway Curve Zone Auto
Slowdown function will operate based
on the curve information on the main
road.
- Even if you depart from the main
road, Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown
function may temporarily operate
due to navigation information of
the highway curve section.
WARNING
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
is not a substitute for safe driving
practices, but a convenience function.
Always have your eyes on the road,
and it is the responsibility of the driver
to avoid violating traffic laws.
- The navigation's speed limit information
may differ from the actual speed
limit information on the road. It is the
driver's responsibility to check the
speed limit on the actual driving road
or lane.
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
will automatically be canceled
when you leave the highway (or
motorway) main road. Always pay
attention to road and driving conditions
while driving.
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
may not operate due to the existence
of leading vehicles and the
driving conditions of the vehicle.
Always pay attention to road and driving
conditions while driving.
- When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, we recommend that
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
is turned off due to safety reasons.
- After you pass through a tollgate on a
highway (or motorway), Navigationbased
Smart Cruise Control will operate
based on the first lane. If you enter
one of the other lanes, the function
might not operate properly.
- The vehicle will accelerate if the driver
depresses the accelerator pedal while
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
is operating, and the function will
not decelerate the vehicle. However, if
the accelerator pedal is depressed
insufficiently, the vehicle may decelerate.
- If the driver accelerates and releases
the accelerator pedal while Navigation-
based Smart Cruise Control is
operating, the vehicle may not decelerate
sufficiently or may rapidly
decelerate to a safe speed.
- If the curve is too large or too small,
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
may not operate.
NOTICE
- The speed information on the cluster
and navigation may differ.
- The time gap could occur between
the navigation's guidance and when
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
operation starts and ends.
- Even if you are driving at a speed
lower than Smart Cruise Control set
speed, acceleration may be limited by
the curve sections ahead.
- If Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control is operating while leaving the
main road to enter an interchange,
junction, rest area, etc., the function
may operate for a certain period of
time.
- Deceleration by Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control may feel it is not
sufficient due to road conditions such
as uneven road surfaces, narrow
lanes, etc.
