Kia Forte: Driving your vehicle / 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 30 km/h (20
mph).
If the cruise control system 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
driving in heavy or varying traffic,or
on slipper (rainy, icy, or snow-covered)
or winding roads, or on roads
with an over 6% up-hill or down-hill
grade.

when the SET switch is activated
or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will

the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
