Kia Optima: Cruise control system
The cruise control system allows you to program the vehicle to maintain a constant
speed without depressing the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
WARNING
- If the cruise control is left on, (CRUISE indicator light in the instrument
cluster illuminated) the cruise control can be switched on accidentally. Keep
the cruise control system off (CRUISE indicator light OFF) when the cruise control
is not in use, to avoid inadvertently setting a speed.
- Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
- Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to keep the vehicle
at a constant speed, for instance, driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on
slippery (rainy, icy or snow-covered) or winding roads or over 6% up-hill or
down-hill roads.
- Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever using the
cruise control system.
- Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise control system, which
may increase the vehicle speed.
CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of a manual transaxle vehicle, do not shift into
neutral without depressing the clutch pedal, since the engine will be overrevved.
If this happens, depress the clutch pedal or release the cruise control ONOFF switch.
✽ NOTICE
During normal cruise control operation, when the SET switch is activated or reactivated
after applying the brakes, the cruise control will energize after approximately
3 seconds. This delay is normal.
Active ECO operation
Active ECO helps improve fuel efficiency by controlling the engine and transaxle.
But fuel-efficiency can be changed by the driver's driving habits and road conditions.
