The 2024 Kia Sportage HEV/PHEV.
Voice Recognition1 and Bluetooth®2
Using Voice Recognition
Improve Bluetooth® 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 softly or too loudly.
• 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®
• Select “Device Connections” in the infotainment system
display1 or “Call” button on the steering wheel to begin the
pairing process if no phone has previously been paired.
• During the pairing process, please make sure you accept
all requests for phonebook download and future auto-
connection on your phone.
• To pair a second phone or subsequent phones, reference
the manuals and guides supplied with your Sportage as
steps vary by infotainment system.
• 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 list of Bluetooth® devices
on the infotainment system display and delete Kia
device from the list of Bluetooth® devices on your
phone, and re-pair.
• Ensure the phone has the Bluetooth® feature activated.
• If some contacts are not downloading to the infotainment
system display, check to confirm that the contact has
been entered correctly and that it has been stored under
the categories (HOME, MOBILE, WORK, iPhone®3) that are
supported by the infotainment system display. Some contact
categories (MAIN, PAGER, OTHER) may not be supported. If
the number of contacts exceeds the maximum number allowed
on the infotainment system 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 infotainment system 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® Tips
• Bluetooth® reception is affected by carrier coverage and is
dependent on the phone.
• If streaming audio through Bluetooth® from a device, ensure
the listening volume on the device is turned up.
Smartphone Connectivity1
Apple CarPlay®3
Your vehicle offers you command of your compatible iPhone® when you connect through Apple CarPlay® on your
infotainment system display. This will enable you to make calls, send hands-free texts, access many of your favorite
apps and music, and get navigation help with Siri® voice control.

Kia Access App*5
• Your cell phone and your vehicle have to be connected to a cellular network with a good wireless signal strength
in order to use Kia Connect (formerly UVO link). If these conditions are not met, remote commands may not
execute or may take longer to execute.
• To use Remote Start or Remote Start with Climate Control feature, all doors, hood and trunk/liftgate must be
closed and locked. Remote Start or Remote Start with Climate Control feature will operate for 10 minutes, and
then the vehicle shuts off automatically.6

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop and Go*7 and
Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC)*8
SCC is designed to detect a vehicle ahead and help maintain the set speed and the distance
from the vehicle ahead. With SCC ON and activated, and the vehicle distance set, when SCC
detects a vehicle slowing or stopping, it can bring the vehicle to a complete stop. When the
vehicle ahead starts to move forward, SCC re-engages. If the vehicle ahead stops for more

Driving Convenience > Highway Auto Speed Change.
When SCC is on and operating, and the vehicle is driving on limited-/controlled-access highways,
NSCC will be indicated by the illuminated WHITE NAV icon E on the Instrument Cluster. If SCC is
set to the current speed limit on the highway during NSCC operation, the set speed is changed
automatically whenever the speed limit changes.
Reminders:
• NSCC requires an active Kia Connect subscription.5
• NSCC is only available on limited-/controlled-access roads and highways.
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)7 and Lane Following Assist (LFA)7
LKA is designed to detect lane markings (or road edges) and can warn the driver if the vehicle
leaves the lane without using the turn signal and can assist with steering to prevent the vehicle
departing from its travel lane. LFA is designed to help ensure that the vehicle stays centered in
its lane A by monitoring the detected lane markings ahead and vehicles on the road, and may
provide steering inputs.
To enable LKA and/or LFA: Go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster LCD, OR press
and hold the Mode button B on the right side of the steering wheel, OR press the SETUP key/
button on the infotainment system. Select the VEHICLE button to enter the Vehicle Settings,
then Driver Assistance > Lane Safety.
Once enabled, press and hold the Lane Safety Button C to turn LKA ON or OFF. When on, the
Lane Safety icon on the Instrument Cluster will illuminate WHITE while the system does not
detect the lane markers. When the system detects the lane markers and can assist the steering,
the icon will turn GREEN D.
To set/adjust Volume and Priority: Go to Vehicle Settings* in the infotainment system or User
Settings in the Instrument Cluster display and in Driver Assistance, press Warning Methods and
adjust the Warning Volume.
LKA will operate only when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph, LKA recognizes
the lane the vehicle is traveling in, and the vehicle is between the lane markers.
LFA will operate only when LFA recognizes both sides of the lane markers the vehicle is traveling
in and the vehicle is traveling slower than 90 mph.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)7
FCA is designed to warn the driver when a collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist in the
roadway is imminent and, if necessary, temporarily apply emergency braking.
Initially, FCA provides a Forward Collision Warning (FCW) when it detects a potential collision
with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist in front by emitting an audible warning and visual alert on
the Instrument Cluster A. If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, FCA can
automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects
of a possible collision. Junction Turning function* B may apply emergency braking to help
avoid a collision with an oncoming vehicle detected in an adjacent lane when turning left at
a crossroad with the turn signal on.
To enable/disable FCA: Go to User Settings, select the VEHICLE button > Driver Assistance >
Forward Safety.
To adjust the FCA initial warning activation time: Press the SETUP key/button on the
