VEHICLE FEATURE TIPS
2018

OWNER’S MANUAL, FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS GUIDE
Many of the Tips presented below are covered in greater detail
in the Owner’s Manual, Multimedia System Manuals, Features
and Functions Guide and Quick Start Guide hang-tag supplied
with your new vehicle.
VOICE RECOGNITION AND BLUETOOTH®1
Using Voice Recognition
Improve Bluetooth®1 Voice Recognition (VR) performance
by making a few simple changes to your phone contacts:
• Use full names (first and last names) vs. short or
single syllable names (“John Smith” vs. “Dad”, “Smith
Residence” vs. “Home”).
• Avoid using special characters, emojis, and hyphenated
names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.).
• Avoid using acronyms (“Emergency” vs. “ICE” or “In
Case of Emergency”) or words with all capital letters.
• Spell words completely; system will not recognize
abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”).
• Always wait for the beep before speaking any
commands.
• When using VR to place a call, speak in a natural,
moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The system
may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak
too soft or too loud.
• Open windows, sunroof, weather (wind/rain), or an
A/C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere with
VR accuracy.
• Your VR system may have difficulty understanding
some accents or uncommon names.
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of
available commands.
Pairing or Connecting Your Phone with Bluetooth®1
• During the pairing process, please make sure you accept
all requests for phonebook download and future auto-
connection on your phone.
• If you experience any issues with auto-connection,
try the following:
• Reboot your phone (turn the phone off and then on).
• Update the phone operating system to the most
recently released version.
• Delete the phone from the UVO display and the
UVO display from the phone, and re-pair.
• Ensure the phone has the Bluetooth®1 feature activated.
• If some contacts are not downloading to the UVO
display, check to confirm that the contact has been
entered correctly and that it has been stored under the
categories (HOME, MOBILE, WORK, iPhone®2) that are
supported by the UVO display. Some contact categories
(MAIN, PAGER, OTHER) may not be supported. If the
number of contacts exceeds the maximum number
allowed on the UVO display, contacts will be partially
downloaded. Ensure that only the “phone contact list”
is selected for contact download on your phone (not
social media or email contact lists as these contacts
may not download to the UVO display).
• Phone operating systems change frequently and some
phones may have varying compatibility levels with the
Bluetooth®system. For any questions regarding the
features of your vehicle, please contact: your preferred
Kia dealer or contact Kia Consumer Assistance at
1-800-333-4542.
Other Bluetooth®1 Tips
• Bluetooth®reception is affected by carrier coverage and
is dependent on the phone.
• If streaming audio through Bluetooth®1 from a device,
ensure the listening volume on the device is turned up.

CONNECTING TO APPLE CARPLAYTM AND ANDROID AUTOTM 2
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION
Satellite radio reception requires direct line of sight with the satellite transmitting
the radio signal. Tunnels, bridges, covered parking, mountainous terrain, tall buildings,
heavy foliage, and other obstacles may momentarily interrupt the signal. This is
normal operation, and reception will be restored within a few seconds in an open,
unobstructed area.
The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the satellite
repeater network.

AUTO-HOLD*
ACCESSORY MODE WITH SMART KEY
SMART TRUNK/SMART POWER TRUNK OPERATION*
Auto-Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a standstill even if the brake pedal is
released. Auto-Hold can be turned ON/OFF using the AUTO HOLD switch Aon the driver’s
panel. Before Auto-Hold will operate, the driver’s door, engine hood and trunk must be
closed, and the driver’s seat belt must be fastened.
The Auto-Hold indicator has four states:
White: Standby - With vehicle at a standstill, and AUTO HOLD switch Aturned ON, the
indicator will illuminate white. While driving the vehicle (vehicle is not at a standstill), the
Auto-Hold indicator will remain white.
Green: Engaged - When coming to a complete stop by depressing the brake pedal, the Auto-
Hold indicator changes from white to green.

AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB)/ FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (FCWS)*
REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM*
WINDSHIELD DEFOGGING
The AEB works independently of the driver in critical situations, applying the brakes to
help prevent or lessen the effects of a frontal collision. The AEB will become active when
the vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph. To turn off the AEB, go to User Settings in the
LCD Instrument Cluster modes. The AEB will be activated by default when vehicle power
is cycled on, even when it’s been previously set to off.
The FCWS employs front-mounted radar to detect a potential collision with the car in
front, and provides the driver audible warnings and visual signals on the meter display.
Warning: Autonomous Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning System are
not substitutes for safe driving, and may not detect all objects surrounding the vehicle.
Always drive safely and use caution. The FCWS will not operate when the vehicle is
traveling more than approximately 50 mph.
The Rear Parking Assist System is not a safety device. The Rear Parking Assist
System is a supplemental system that assists the driver by chiming if any
object is detected within the sensing area to the rear and side of the vehicle
when backing up. When the ignition is ON and the vehicle is in Reverse, the
system is activated.
When the ignition is ON, the system is activated. If the vehicle is moving at
speeds over 3 mph, the system may not activate correctly.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest one will
be recognized first.
The Rear Parking Assist System is not a substitute for proper and safe backing-up
procedures. Always drive safely and use caution when backing up. The Rear Parking Assist
System may not detect every object behind the vehicle.
Windshield fogging is caused by moisture in the air condensing on the cold glass.
The following practices can help reduce window fogging:
• Keeping the inside of the glass as clean as possible.
• Utilizing the Defrost Mode Aactivates the A/C & opens Fresh Air Vent.
• Adjusting the Temperature Control Bto the desired temperature.
Charge a compatible mobile phone wirelessly by placing it on the tray Aat the front of
the console, near the USB/Aux ports and the charging indicator, while the ignition is on.
For best results, place smartphone on the center of the charging pad. If wireless charging
does not work, move smartphone around the pad until the charging indicator turns
amber. Avoid placing other metal items in the bin while charging as to not impede the
charging area.

The BSD system*4and the RCTA use radar sensors to help alert the driver while changing
lanes or while backing up.
When the BSD4button is pressed ON, the BSD4indicator on the button will illuminate. The
outside rearview mirror warning lights will also illuminate for 3 seconds.
The system will become active when the vehicle is traveling more than 18 mph and will
alert the driver if another vehicle is detected by the radar sensor.
Turn the vehicle ignition ON with the engine OFF. Then, turn the ignition OFF.
• Within 20 seconds after turning the vehicle ignition OFF, raise the wiper blade control
stalk and hold it for more than two (2) seconds.
• The wiper arms will move upward and stop in the fully vertical position A. The wiper arms
may now be moved away from the windshield for cleaning or servicing.
• Once finished servicing the wipers, turn the vehicle ignition ON with the engine OFF. Then,
move the wiper blade control stalk up to return the wipers to the “parked” position.
• Finally, turn the vehicle ignition to the OFF position.
DRIVER POSITION MEMORY SYSTEM*
BLIND-SPOT DETECTION (BSD) SYSTEM/REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)*4
Your vehicle’s exterior lights with clear lenses are vented to the atmosphere to release pressure as the air inside heats and
cools. When humid/moist air enters the headlight/tail light, the moisture may condense on the lens surface and appear
as fogging or water droplets. This is a normal condition and the moisture will evaporate when the lights are turned ON or
when the temperature increases.
