Kia Picanto: Driving your vehicle / Speed limit control system

Kia Picanto JA 2017-2025 Owner's Manual / 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.
