The Kia lineup has an excellent Smart Cruise Control system. It's an adaptive cruise control that can help control your vehicle's speed on regular roads and highways/interstates, keeping you at a distance from the vehicle in front of you and even being able to bring you to a complete stop.
In this video I take you through the basics of how to use the Smart Cruise Control system!

I use everyday!! Is very very nice, especially for rush hours! Works much better when the road conditions are good (what is the case in the Netherlands). But pay attention when you change lanes, sometimes take longer to "find" the car in front of you.

Great to hear that more people love the feature too! Thanks for the tip on watching when changing lanes, I found the same thing as well

Hi! Thank you for posting. One thing I’m trying to figure out is… if you adjust the cruise control down by a mph or two, do the brake lights come on?

@CarsWithSteve 11 ай бұрын

You're welcome! When the vehicle slows down using the smart cruise it will show brake lights. Great idea to add that into the video though for people who are wondering the same thing

I have a 2021 Sorento EX Hybrid. I really like the Smart Cruise Control but I have a question. Do the rear brake lights come on when using the cruise control and do they stay on they stay on while stopped? Thanks Jim

@CarsWithSteve Жыл бұрын

Hey Jim! Yes the brake lights should function normally when the vehicle is slowing down on gets itself to come to a complete stop. That would be a good shot to include in a future video

@Craig285 10 күн бұрын

Thank you for the video. Do you know if there's a way to increase the reaction of the accelerator when the car comes to a stop using SSC and you want to resume . Currently the reaction of my car is very slow from a stop and I would like to have it react more quickly back to speed so people behind me don't start honking that horns at me.

@supercededman 10 ай бұрын

What I discerned from one of your other videos (I think!) was that pressing the cruise control button quickly activates cruise control (duh!), yet the same button has another feature - speed limiter - which is activated by pressing and HOLDING the same button. The difference between the two is NOT clear in the downloadable manual, nor is it crystal clear in most videos I've seen. Good video, though!

@CarsWithSteve 10 ай бұрын

Yeah that's a good one that I should have covered off too. I'm planning on re-shooting this shortly with a closer view and will make sure to cover off speed limit assist

The SCC is the most hated system in the new KIA software, as you can't disable it and use a normal cruise control. For me and many other KIA owners it's a real bug and I'm currently thinking about selling the car, even if it's only 3 months old.

@CarsWithSteve Ай бұрын

Being able to switch to traditional cruise would be a great addition but smart cruise is really useful. I use it in every car I drive on residential streets and highways regardless of the brand of car I'm in. Once you get the hang of it, it really is superior to traditional cruise

We can’t seem to “engage” cruise control even following all your steps. Speed will not stay.

@CarsWithSteve 3 ай бұрын

Are you driving when trying to set the speed? The system won't work when you're in park. If you're moving and the cruise isn't working, what's the year/model/trim of the Kia you own?

@alphabob8156 2 ай бұрын

Sorry to be a troll, but this was a terrible explanation. The lower right button: when you press it is there any indication anywhere that something has changed? My sense is there should be some chevron or something on the display to tell you that you’ve pressed this button. What is the upper left-hand button in that same cluster? How does the following work, at the very end you intimate that it will bring you to a full stop - this would be a heck of a thing to test, especially if you have no indication whether it’s even on - ha ha! Appreciate the effort to make the video, there’s more left out of this than an explanation of anything.

@CarsWithSteve 2 ай бұрын

Lol sorry to be a troll.. but let me troll. Love it. The explanation is great but it's the angle that doesn't work well because it doesn't show off the cluster. I have an updated version coming out soon that actually shows the different icons that pop up. The lane centering button will show a steering wheel in the cluster screen when it's pressed. Once cruise is turned on, there's another icon that pops up, which goes green when you've actually set a speed. Keep your foot hovering over the brake regardless but if your vehicle starts slowing down then it will bring you to a complete stop. Only time it wouldn't work well is if the person in front of you slams on their brakes and you're following too closely

Worst system ever! If your going 55 and the cars come to a stop, the system picks up so slowly the cars behind you are going crazy. I drive on a road with a 45 speed limit and everyone goes 55. With my subaru and honda i always used cruise control on 90% of my driving. With my 2023 kia forte, I can not use it. Brought it back to dealer and he said, " its really designed for highway use" So are the others but they allow themselves to be used in the city as well. Problem kia smart cruise control NO PICKUP AFTER A STOP

@CarsWithSteve Жыл бұрын

Part of pickup speed is what the distance indicator is set to but you could always press the accelerator yourself until you get to speed. I don't think I've ever been in a car with adaptive cruise that picks up quickly from a stopped position. Smart cruise is definitely best on highway and interstates but you can use it no problem on streets
