Kia Picanto: Driving your vehicle / Speed limit control system

You can set the speed limit when you do not want to drive over a specific speed.

If you drive over the preset speed limit, the warning system operates (set speed limit will blink and chime will sound) until the vehicle speed returns within the speed limit.

NOTICE

While speed limit control is in operation, the cruise control system cannot be activated.

Speed limit control switch

O: Cancels set speed limit.

: Turns speed limit control system on or off.

RES+: Resumes or increases speed limit control speed.

SET-: Sets or decreases speed limit control speed.

To set speed limit:

1. Press the speed limit button twice on the steering wheel, to turn the system on. The speed limit indicator light will illuminate.

2. Move the lever down (to SET-).

3. Move the lever up (to RES+) or down (to SET-), and release it at the desired speed. Move the lever up (to RES+) or down (to SET-) and hold it. The speed will increase or decrease by 5 km/h (3 mph).

The set speed limit will be displayed.

To drive over the preset speed limit you must depress hard on the accelerator pedal (more than approximately 80%) until the kick down mechanism works with a clicking noise. Then the set speed limit will blink and chime will sound until you return the vehicle speed within the speed limit.

NOTICE

• Depressing the accelerator pedal less than approximately 50%, the vehicle will not speed over the preset speed limit but maintain the vehicle speed within the speed limit.
• A clicking noise heard from the kick down mechanism by depressing the accelerator pedal fully is a normal condition.

To turn off the speed limit control, do one of the following:

• Press the speed limit switch once again.
• Turn the ignition off.

If you press the O switch once, the set speed limit will cancel, but it will not turn the system off. If you wish to reset the speed limit, move the lever up (to RES+) or down (to SET-) to the desired speed.

CAUTION

The “---” indicator will blink if there is a problem with speed limit control system.

If this occurs, have the system checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
