Driving your vehicle
System Malfunction
Check smart regeneration system
The message will appear when the
system is not functioning normally.
The system will be cancelled and the
word 'AUTO' on the cluster will disap-
pear and instead display regenerative
braking level. Check for foreign sub-
stances on the front radar. Remove
any dirt, snow, or foreign material that
could interfere with the radar sensors.
If the system still does not operate
normally, have the system checked
by a professional workshop. Kia rec-
ommends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
Limitations of the System
The Smart Regeneration System
may not operate properly in certain
situations when the driving condition
is beyond the performance of the
front radar sensor.
Driver's attention is required in such
cases when the system does not
react properly or operate uninten-
tionally.
On curves
When coasting on the curve, the sys-
tem may not detect the vehicle in
your lane and the regenerative brak-
ing level will reduce automatically,
making you feel that the vehicle is
accelerating.
Also, if the system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle in front, the regen-
erative braking level will increase
automatically, making you feel that
the vehicle is decelerating.
The driver must maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.
