- 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!

This was fantastic. You saved our butts on our first road trip in our Kia Telluride (10 hours nonetheless). Thank you!!
Thanks Elsa, glad the video helped!
I’ve never had cruise control in the two cars I’ve had. Finally buying a brand new 2024 Kia Soul GT and having to look up how to use it! Thank you for the video
It's such a great feature! What car are you replacing with the Soul?
Thank you
Your welcome!
Thank you!! I just got my car so definitely helps. Im neew to the new car technology
You're welcome Kimi! How are you liking the new car?
@CarsWithSteve loving it!! But theres so much features i need to learn, i have only 3 days with it 😅
There are so many things! Which Kia model did you pick up?
I have a bunch of Kia walkthrough videos on the channel - infotainment help, steering wheel and cluster etc - www.youtube.com/@CarsWithSteve/search?query=kia
@@CarsWithSteve i got the forte gt line .... i will definitely keep checking the videos 😀
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?
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
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
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
this system do stop and go on kia stonic?'
Is there a way to disable the "smart cruise control" feature while keeping the regular cruise control ?
Yes, press the cruise button then before you activate it hold the lane distance button and you will have normal CC :)
@@krismorris7265 that doesn’t seem to work on the new 2024s as I just bought one and I’m driving down the road right now. That worked on my 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe.
@@krismorris7265 Not true anymore - no way to disable it on a 2024 Ceed
I thought Kia's Smart Cruise Control and Lane Following Assist only work on highways? How did you get them to work on city roads?
Or are there specific models for which features like SCC and LKA work in the city?
I am currently shopping for a 2024 Sorento, and the sales guy at the dealership told me all these features are packaged under Highway Drive Assist, and only work on highways.
Haha, the sales person probably hasn't tried to activate it on regular roads. There are certain elements, like lane change assist, that will only work on highways/interstates but otherwise the Smart Cruise and Lane Follow Assist can be used anywhere as long as lane markings are recognized. Just make sure you're paying attention when you're coming to an intersection because it won't stop at lights automatically
@@CarsWithSteve Thank you for the prompt reply! If I may, I would like to ask if you have had a chance to test a current generation Subaru EyeSight based system, and how it performs in Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane following, in comparison to current generation Kia/Hyundai system. My main concern is night driving, since Subaru's is camera based while Kia's is Lidar based, and cameras don't perform quite as well as Lidar, when visibility is poor.
Hoping to get into some Subarus in the new year so I'll make sure to give that system a try as well
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!
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
I just bought a 2024 Kia forte and I can’t figure out how to use my adaptive cruise control. Please help ?
The video shows how it's used...
It works the same and Hyundai products rates Steve
Yes it does!
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.
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
but how brilliant is the system? you werent specific
I think the title says it all. There's even a checkmark in the thumbnail haha
That is a brilliant question
We can’t seem to “engage” cruise control even following all your steps. Speed will not stay.
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?
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.
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
Seriously. Hands Sore... Geez man up...
How do you turn this PitA system off? When i run up to a left lane Loui or Louise with there head up their A how do you push them off to the right lane??? Drivers drive! Cat Petters sit on the porch...
Yes because in your world I guess people can't have arthritis or issues with their hands... gotcha 🥴
Dumb
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
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
I have a new Rogue with Adaptive Cruise, great for long drives on xways, but I've used it on rural highways too. If you want more pickup and go from a stop, simply put your foot on the accelerator and push forward!
Put it in sport, accelerate to 4000rpm and then reactivate cruise control😂😂😂
You do not know how to maximize the system. Get educated.
