If I knee steered where I live I would most definitely get into a crash. I drive in a high traffic area surrounded by port trucks and rush hour traffic. The traffic is so bad here I wouldn't even trust adaptive cruise control. I also disable front collision assist during peak rush hour
Yes. It's really not severe but you can feel it; normally the audible warning comes first (that you're diverging from the lane). To the camera the light reflecting of a long tar strip looks like a white line.
I recently drove my girlfriend's Camry on a two hour drive and used the lane centering assist just so I could relax a bit on the drive. Thankfully, I still keep a hand on the wheel because we hit a construction area and the car tried to throw me into the other lane because the white lines on the road went away. Needless to say, I turned it off until I cleared the construction zone.
When I use mine, the car feels very jerky. It doesnāt handle curves well and has come close to tossing me out of the lane. So I donāt use it often. Are other peopleās jerky? My car is a 2023 Seltos.
Mine is great on curves, I've even shown that off to a couple people to their horror. I thought it was jerky at first but then I realized that I tend to drive on the right side of the lane and that likes to stay perfectly centered. I have learned to trust it and stopped fighting it. I basically had to find a new spot on the wheel to hang onto where I wouldn't keep having the urge to nudge it to the right. I settled on left hand at about 11 O'clock where I can comfortably extend my arm to keep my hand pressured against the wheel to be ready to grab it, but where I'm not restricting the corrections subconsciously if that make sense. Now that I'm comfortable with it, I hate driving cars without it.
Also, if you are having trouble with it, first thing to try is cleaning your windshield where the camera is up behind your mirror. I've heard it doesn't take much to throw it off and I've also gotten the wiper sensor to work as intended by keeping the windshield clean.
Lol last time my mom was in my Seltos we were on a one hour highway trip and I got to demo the adaptive cruise and the lane keep assist. "no, I haven't touched the brake since 2 cities ago" ... "what?!?!"
On the top center of the dash will show two cars when itās one. There is a symbol in between them. If there are 3 of the symbol, you stay back furthest. 2 symbols is the in between, 1 symbol is the closest.
I keep mine at 1. When I bought my sportage I asked what happens if a car changes lanes in front of me and goes slower. The dealer didnāt have an answer but I knew what it was. The sensors protect your front, not your rear as you would be cited for rear ending someone. So they will slam on the breaks regardless of what is behind you if a slow moving car cuts you off. So I keep mine at a 1 to minimize the amount of cars that cut me off.
Your talking about the adaptive cruise control, but the original comment sounds like it's describing the lane assist. I can't even imagine what the levels of lane assist would do.
Also the same car, no issues on my end. Could it be perhaps some issues with the sensors or cameras checking the lanes? Give it a good clean next time you are at a car wash.
I do. Why should I copy and paste for you? You arenāt asking for opinions, but procedures that are easily available to you. There are other things in there you might be interested in learning.
There are two different lane assist settings but both are the same button (the bottom left button). Tapping it will turn the steering wheel symbol on and off. Holding it will turn the symbol on the button on and off.
Turning the adaptive cruise control on will automatically turn the steering one on. If you donāt want it, just tap the button after turning on cruise control (not sure if this automatically applying the steering function can be removed in the settings or not)
I feel like this is a road condition thing? On Florida roads, yes, on roads that are weathered and go through hard winters and have a lot of creases and marks and dips and potholes and mistakesā¦ probably I bet that has something to do with it
I have a 23 Seltos and mine is A+, never jerky. Have let it maneuver a curve with a semi oncoming in the opposite lane and it didn't even waver (I sure did though lol). It's very particular about maintaining its lane perfectly so it does a lot of micro adjustments. It could be the road lines in your area giving it trouble.
I like the face that it can even engage at 0 speed. Make stop and go lane keep possible. I also tried Subaruās eyesight, pure garbage compared to this one.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but as a claims adjuster, I can say with confidence that we don't give a shit. There are zero scenarios where this would matter.
Steering wheel with lanes is the assisted driving feature. It will detect the lines and keep you in them. The car with the lines is for when you have cruise control on. You can set how many car lengths you want in between the car infront of you and you.
"Car with the lines" is called Adaptive Cruise Control.
Just like what it sounds like, it is for cruise control where it can control the distance of car in front
Adaptive cruise control is the button with the car with lines on it. Itās for when you want to maintain distance of cars in front of you during cruise control.
okay letās start from the top:
paper sheets: menu pages on your dash display, you can select speedometer, economy pages and few others.
car with speedometer: cruise control on/off
up, down, okay switch: used to move through your menu pages you pulled up with the sheets button
plus minus pause resume switch: increase, decrease, pause and resume cruise control
steering wheel button: lane keep assist on off
car casting a tractor beam: smart cruise distance selector
On my wife's Telluride, if I stop at a light and the cruise turns off I'm almost positive I can hit cruise again, then keep pressing up as soon as I start moving to get back to the desired speed, but I could be wrong, I usually am.
Yes, with stop and go adaptive cruise if you already have cruise enabled and it stops for you at a light, you just need to tap the acclerator again after the light turns green and cruise will resume. What i meant was that you cannot initiate a cruise control setting below a certain speed
I'm still too scared to let it stop at lights for me haha. I keep thinking it's just going to run into the cars that are stopped. I need to work my way up to it mentally.
That's bizarre. Mine came specifically for my hybrid sportage. It does include specs and features for both HEV and PHEV so you just have to know what you're driving and it's not hard.
The steering wheel with the lanes on it turns on the auto-lane keeping functionality. Will steer for you a bit when it recognizes the lanes.
The other one is the smart cruise control button, it will monitor for cars in front of you and slow down or speed back up to your set cruise control speed.
More info in the manual.
Nobody does this anymore. Most manufacturers even make YouTube videos explaining all the care features. Why would you want to drive a car without knowing it's features first. I usually know everything about the car before I buy it lol
Yea bit concerning especially since these are āautonomousā driving features that it helps to read into. It highlights blindspots for these features and gives a good understanding of how these features āsee the roadā.
Four weeks since we drove it off the lot and I'm still reading through it. It's thick but informative, and Kia has made YouTube videos that go over basic things and infotainment. I think I would Google before I made a whole post like OP.
Q. Did you get the owner's manual with the car?
Q. Did you open the manual?
Q. Why does no one read the fu^Hine manual?
(I know, it's hundreds of pages. That's why I downloaded the PDF version to keep on my phone and ctrl-f when I need a refresher on a topic. I read the whole dang thing when I was cross shopping with the 340 and S4. Does no one else read manuals or at least skim them when buying big ticket items costing tens of thousands?)
The one with the steering wheel is for advanced lane keep assist, or when cruise control is on, self driving/highway drive assist.
The other is following distance for the radar-assisted active cruise control and highway drive assist.
Followup q: Do you have any math homework you need people to do for you? (I kid, I kid)
If there was only a book, some sort of manual, that car manufacturers would include with cars to explain all of the features and maintenance of the vehicle.
Maybe one day that will be invented.
Wait itās a new car, so didnāt it come with a manual? Itās usually in the storage area called a glove box (yes used to store gloves once upon a time) or ask the dealership who sold it to you or if you are of a particular age look up the manual on line.
My new Kia didnāt come with a physical manual, the manual is accessed in the settings menu on the display it can be accessed also via a QR code in that same menu (as well as the Kia website) all this to say at least in Australia there are no longer physical manuals for the Kiaās.
The 2025 K5 has this same interior now too. Theyāre pretty much all identical / similar inside in terms of the infotainment system, wireless charger, digital climate control etc
The steering wheel button is active lane keep assist (it will basically steer its self) and the other button is to change how close the radar cruise will follow the car infront
bottom left: active steer assist, when you press it your dasboard will show a steering wheel in white if the sensors don't see the road and green if they do, makes the car semi steer itself when engaged.
Bottom right: adaptive cruise control radar range selector: should have 4 options to determine the distance between your car and the car infront you that acc will match the speed to.
Top right one click: engages adaptive cruise control and sets the speed to your current speed.
Top right hold: engages the speed limiter to current speed.
Top left: instrument cluster menu
hope it helps!.
Lane Keep Assist/Lane Follow Assist and SCC/HDA (Smart Cruise Control/Highway Drive Assist) Distance All can be watched about here... [https://www.youtube.com/@KiaFeatureVideos](https://www.youtube.com/@KiaFeatureVideos)
Steering wheel with the lane is steering assist, and the car with the three lines is your little lock on thing for adaptive cruise control. It detects the vehicle in front of you.
I literally have all the same buttons on my new 25 but for some reason my brain just froze when I looked at this picture.
For context, my gummy just kicked in and I just finished watching the presidential debate.
Bottom 2 are driver assist. Bottom left is lane keeping or blind spot and the bottom right is probably parking sensors or some other driving lane keeping aid on/off button
Middle e kind of self explanatory if you have used a smart phone at all or any smart device in the last 10 or so years
Top one on left I believe based off symbol is odometer/trip mileage or dash light dimming
Top right is going to be cruise control probably press that button to turn it on and then the right middle switch switch clicks up to set the speed and after setting your speed you can click it up or down to adjust your speed. Long stretchās of highways you can do whatever with out touching the gas
Again assuming, if there is a thick book in the glove box it makes for great reading material when you poop.
As others have said, wheel with lines is lane auto centering, which helps keep you in your lane.
Car with lines sets the following distance when using radar adaptive cruise control. You can increase or decrease following distance.
Car with the gauge in front turns radar cruise on or off. In every car I've seen, the logo for cruise control is a little gauge with an arrow, cars with radar cruise is the same little gauge logo but with a car behind it, just like on your car.
Bottom left is likely a lane departure warning toggle, the right is the radar control setting for cruise control I believe? To change how closely you follow the vehicle in front of you.
Lines with steering wheel is lane keeping assistant. Like if your car touches the lines steering will auto Maneuver the car to the centre of the lanes.
The second one is I think front collision detection or maybe parking sensor.
Iām almost certain your vehicle came with an owners manual, or you could Google one. Looks like cruise control, lane assist, and the automatic braking.
https://preview.redd.it/c3nd7eg9kb9d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ab2da6c4c57cbb3670059453ed77570d295159f
Hope this helps (Sorry if it looks too messy/confusing)
Itās for when the cruise control is on. The button with the lines and the steering wheel means the car will keep you in the lines if itās on, and the car button is the distance the car will keep from cars ahead of you.
So, if your cruise control is on, it will slow down/speed up for you depending on how close you are to other cars, and if you start to go over the line it will correct you.
They are auto drive modes, meaning when they are on; this happens.
The driving wheel in between the lanes will alert you when you are driving over the lines, the white ones or yellow. It is to keep you from lane drifting.
The one with car and 3 lines is a distance alert. If you are in cruise control for speed, it will apply the breaks when you get to close to the car in front of you. It will also adjust your speed but keep you at cruise control. Meaning this, you set your speed to 65 mph, but the car in front of you is doing 60 mpr, your car will set a new speed to 60 mph, until that slow car moves out of your way. It will then go back to 65 mph when no one is in front of you.
Hope that helps, but as always, please read your manual for up to date functions.
Car with the lines is how far back you'll follow the car in front if you are using adaptive cruise control. The other one is to toggle lane assist to let your car steer itself to keep it in the lane
You'll have to do a lot more reading on Reddit than you would if you looked at the manual.
Usually the manual explains every button and feature in good detail. I learned about many hidden and unadvertised features by sifting through my manual. You just have to skim past all the warnings and legal stuff.
Iām not sure but I think the circle with the lines is so you can turn off the nav link and use the force to aim for the exhaust port on the Death Star. I could be wrong.
I'm assuming the line with car is lane assist and the 3 bars is to alert you if a car is getting too close to your bumper or adaptive cruise control but could be wrong
So your car comes equipped with a Front Radar either behind the badge in the grille (badge will be smooth plastic) or lower down at the bottom grille behind a flat rectangle of plastic.
You also have a camera by the rear view mirror under a plastic covering. So, the bottom left button, steering wheel with lines, is a feature called Lane Centering. Generally, this will make the vehicle hold itself centered between lines on the road if available. You will generally be told by the car to keep your hands on the wheel if you take them off for too long. The car will go through mild curves in the road 'on its own' as long as it's active.
The bottom right button is your Front Radar Assisted Crusie Control distance control. Hyundai/Kia call it Smart Cruise Control, SCC. That button changes the distance your car will hold between you and the car you're following as long as your SCC is active, i.e. your cruise control is active.
I'm a calibration tech and do this stuff for a living. Nice car bro
Self steering for highways. It wont corner but will keep you in the lane on a highway curve. Car with the three lines might be adaptive cruise control, matching the car in fronts speed. But without a model and trim level itās a guess
Steering wheel with parallel lines is lane keep, means the car will try to stay in its lane, the car with horizontal lines is the follow distance for adaptive cruise control. I have a Mazda and itās similar to this (:
The car in the lines is called lane assist it basically keeps your car in its lane while driving need to have hands on wheel, the car with the 3 lines behind it is adaptive cruise control which mean youāll cruise at a speed thatāll keep up with the car in front of you itās to be used with the button right above it on the steering wheel (the car w the gauge).
If only there was a manual you could reference on these things. Joking aside, you got a new car. You need to read how it works. You will learn more than asking random people here, trust me.
The left button is ālane keep assist ā steering while should notify you if you start veering outside your lane. Second is cruise control distance between you and the car in front of you. Should have 3 settings.
The glove box should have a manual for all of that. Always check it.
The car on lanes is lane keeping assist the little rectangles next to it are for distance, the left swiiis for selecting ok, the right switch is for speed selection, top right the car with the little circle is to turn on/off the cruise and the papers on the left is to scroll through pages on your display.
There's a book in the glove box you should read. It'll even tell you about wiper maintenence mode. Good luck. How do these idiots not know what they are buying?!
The steering wheel button is quite possibly one of the most underrated features of this car
It kicks all kinds of ass on a long road trip.
My knee steering skills are going to atrophy from this button
Knee steering skills are a dying breed, we hold strong š¤
To our beers.
Hey that's road pop around the kids.
If I knee steered where I live I would most definitely get into a crash. I drive in a high traffic area surrounded by port trucks and rush hour traffic. The traffic is so bad here I wouldn't even trust adaptive cruise control. I also disable front collision assist during peak rush hour
My kids will learn to knee steer before I ever let them use lane follow assist
Except when it thinks a tar line is the dog line and throws your car around.
Plz tell me this isnāt a real thing?
It's true, turn lanes where there is a break in the white line on the right will keep you on your toes too but it's worth it.
Yes. It's really not severe but you can feel it; normally the audible warning comes first (that you're diverging from the lane). To the camera the light reflecting of a long tar strip looks like a white line.
Thatās a little scary! Especially if you live somewhere the roads are shitty and sometimes the lines are wrong/there arenāt lines
It's not bad. You can see what's happening and it is not a strong input to catch it.
Thatās good to know
I recently drove my girlfriend's Camry on a two hour drive and used the lane centering assist just so I could relax a bit on the drive. Thankfully, I still keep a hand on the wheel because we hit a construction area and the car tried to throw me into the other lane because the white lines on the road went away. Needless to say, I turned it off until I cleared the construction zone.
Or when you miss your turn signal and it tries to force you not to merge
Hell yeah, love drinking a coffee and driving hands free for a bit.
When I use mine, the car feels very jerky. It doesnāt handle curves well and has come close to tossing me out of the lane. So I donāt use it often. Are other peopleās jerky? My car is a 2023 Seltos.
Not unless I hit a bump. Itās incredible on the highway
In my city the highways are parking lots filled with trucks going to the port at all times of the day
I nearly got thrown into opposite lane onceš
Mine is great on curves, I've even shown that off to a couple people to their horror. I thought it was jerky at first but then I realized that I tend to drive on the right side of the lane and that likes to stay perfectly centered. I have learned to trust it and stopped fighting it. I basically had to find a new spot on the wheel to hang onto where I wouldn't keep having the urge to nudge it to the right. I settled on left hand at about 11 O'clock where I can comfortably extend my arm to keep my hand pressured against the wheel to be ready to grab it, but where I'm not restricting the corrections subconsciously if that make sense. Now that I'm comfortable with it, I hate driving cars without it. Also, if you are having trouble with it, first thing to try is cleaning your windshield where the camera is up behind your mirror. I've heard it doesn't take much to throw it off and I've also gotten the wiper sensor to work as intended by keeping the windshield clean.
Lol last time my mom was in my Seltos we were on a one hour highway trip and I got to demo the adaptive cruise and the lane keep assist. "no, I haven't touched the brake since 2 cities ago" ... "what?!?!"
There are 3 settingsā¦Try a lower setting. I keep mine on 2.
Uhhhh what? Really? How do you know which one your on? I have a 25 Sorento and this is the first in hearing of this, did they change it? Edit: clarity
On the top center of the dash will show two cars when itās one. There is a symbol in between them. If there are 3 of the symbol, you stay back furthest. 2 symbols is the in between, 1 symbol is the closest. I keep mine at 1.

Do u know how to turn this feature off ? I had mine off and then suddenly Kia reset it all and now I canāt figure it out for the life of me !
Itās in the manual.
So u donāt either , got it ! š
I do. Why should I copy and paste for you? You arenāt asking for opinions, but procedures that are easily available to you. There are other things in there you might be interested in learning.
š¤£š¤£ Rodger that !
There are two different lane assist settings but both are the same button (the bottom left button). Tapping it will turn the steering wheel symbol on and off. Holding it will turn the symbol on the button on and off. Turning the adaptive cruise control on will automatically turn the steering one on. If you donāt want it, just tap the button after turning on cruise control (not sure if this automatically applying the steering function can be removed in the settings or not)
Ok thanks , Iāve done those but I canāt get it to stay off , each time I start the car itās back on previously is stayed off .
my Telluride is like this.
I feel like this is a road condition thing? On Florida roads, yes, on roads that are weathered and go through hard winters and have a lot of creases and marks and dips and potholes and mistakesā¦ probably I bet that has something to do with it
Mine works great. Only use it on the highway.
I have a 23 Seltos and mine is A+, never jerky. Have let it maneuver a curve with a semi oncoming in the opposite lane and it didn't even waver (I sure did though lol). It's very particular about maintaining its lane perfectly so it does a lot of micro adjustments. It could be the road lines in your area giving it trouble.
No kidding. I turn this on practically every single time i get in the car. Itās my absolute favorite feature
Hell yeah it is. I use it every day.
This is what I classified as one of my fun buttons. This is the #RollUpButton IYKYK š¤·š½āāļø
I like the face that it can even engage at 0 speed. Make stop and go lane keep possible. I also tried Subaruās eyesight, pure garbage compared to this one.
I hate it. Iām also a truck driver, so I turned every safety feature off
Downside to that, if you ever get into an accident, your insurance company will know, the car tells on you
I'm not saying you're wrong, but as a claims adjuster, I can say with confidence that we don't give a shit. There are zero scenarios where this would matter.
Steering wheel with lanes is the assisted driving feature. It will detect the lines and keep you in them. The car with the lines is for when you have cruise control on. You can set how many car lengths you want in between the car infront of you and you.

Adaptive cruise control is the button with the car with lines on it. Itās for when you want to maintain distance of cars in front of you during cruise control.

okay letās start from the top: paper sheets: menu pages on your dash display, you can select speedometer, economy pages and few others. car with speedometer: cruise control on/off up, down, okay switch: used to move through your menu pages you pulled up with the sheets button plus minus pause resume switch: increase, decrease, pause and resume cruise control steering wheel button: lane keep assist on off car casting a tractor beam: smart cruise distance selector
oh one thing to add, if you hold up or down on the cruise speed switch, it moves in increments of 5.
Mine is increments of 10.
what do you drive? maybe itās adjustable in the settings.
Carnival
Thank you for this. Going from 10 to 70 in single digits is excruciating lol
Just start at 100 instead, now it's faster to get to 70
Technically i think you need to be at least 25mph for the cruise control to even work. At least on my forte
On my wife's Telluride, if I stop at a light and the cruise turns off I'm almost positive I can hit cruise again, then keep pressing up as soon as I start moving to get back to the desired speed, but I could be wrong, I usually am.
Yes, with stop and go adaptive cruise if you already have cruise enabled and it stops for you at a light, you just need to tap the acclerator again after the light turns green and cruise will resume. What i meant was that you cannot initiate a cruise control setting below a certain speed
I'm still too scared to let it stop at lights for me haha. I keep thinking it's just going to run into the cars that are stopped. I need to work my way up to it mentally.
That just means you are actually driving correctly lol
I think itās important to differentiate lane keep assist and lane following assist
Thanks forā¦ not explaining furtherā¦?
I guess iām not familiar with the difference, sorry.
I'm surprised this isn't the top rated answer.
steering wheel button is steer assist not lane keep assist, two separate functions.
The manual is the best place to go for car info.
You would thinkā¦.my Kia came with an owners manual that covers every feature of every KIA, not just mine. Very hard to dig through
Even then, you can find most if not all individual manuals online
That's bizarre. Mine came specifically for my hybrid sportage. It does include specs and features for both HEV and PHEV so you just have to know what you're driving and it's not hard.
The steering wheel with the lanes on it turns on the auto-lane keeping functionality. Will steer for you a bit when it recognizes the lanes. The other one is the smart cruise control button, it will monitor for cars in front of you and slow down or speed back up to your set cruise control speed. More info in the manual.
RTFM?
The first thing I did when I bought my new car was look through the manual. Am I the only one?
Nobody does this anymore. Most manufacturers even make YouTube videos explaining all the care features. Why would you want to drive a car without knowing it's features first. I usually know everything about the car before I buy it lol
Yea bit concerning especially since these are āautonomousā driving features that it helps to read into. It highlights blindspots for these features and gives a good understanding of how these features āsee the roadā.
The fact the salesmen didnāt explain Jack shit is the real crime.
I downloaded it online and read through it ALL before I even got the car.
Four weeks since we drove it off the lot and I'm still reading through it. It's thick but informative, and Kia has made YouTube videos that go over basic things and infotainment. I think I would Google before I made a whole post like OP.

Read the owners manual
I cannot stress this enough, RTFM. Take time to read the freaking manual. You will be surprised at how useful it is. No one will judge you for it.
Read your manual, there are a lot of features you need to familiarize yourself with
Why can't people take an hour to learn the function of the vehicle by reading the manual.
Wait itās a new car, so didnāt it come with a manual? Itās usually in the storage area called a glove box (yes used to store gloves once upon a time) or ask the dealership who sold it to you or if you are of a particular age look up the manual on line.
My new Kia didnāt come with a physical manual, the manual is accessed in the settings menu on the display it can be accessed also via a QR code in that same menu (as well as the Kia website) all this to say at least in Australia there are no longer physical manuals for the Kiaās.
Doesn't excuse someone from not bothering to read it.
Iām not disagreeing with that. I was responding to the person asking if the new car hadnāt come with one stored in the glovebox.
Everything is in your car manual. Please take the time to read it, it has tons of valuable information.
Look in your owners manual
Bet that info is in the manual in the glove box!
Read the manual. Steering wheel is for lane keep assist on and off. Other button is for changing distance between cars when Cruise Control is on.
did the Kia salesman not go over everything with you when you bought it? ours did.
The first keeps you between the lines of the road, the right one is how close you want to follow when you use the adaptive cruisecontrol
Off topic, but what car did you buy?
Looks exactly like my sorento, but Im not sure if other Kias are identical
The 2025 K5 has this same interior now too. Theyāre pretty much all identical / similar inside in terms of the infotainment system, wireless charger, digital climate control etc
Looks like my 2023 Sorento.
This is a 25 K5 from the middle console
The steering wheel button is active lane keep assist (it will basically steer its self) and the other button is to change how close the radar cruise will follow the car infront
Your first ever new car comes with a whole ass instructional guide on exactly what these buttons do. You silly goose.
Read the manual or go back to the dealership
There should be a manual in the glovebox?
bottom left: active steer assist, when you press it your dasboard will show a steering wheel in white if the sensors don't see the road and green if they do, makes the car semi steer itself when engaged. Bottom right: adaptive cruise control radar range selector: should have 4 options to determine the distance between your car and the car infront you that acc will match the speed to. Top right one click: engages adaptive cruise control and sets the speed to your current speed. Top right hold: engages the speed limiter to current speed. Top left: instrument cluster menu hope it helps!.
This comment is 100% why people would prefer to ask other human beings instead of searching google. Cheers to this user for their answer!
Your brand new Kia comes with a thicccc book. Read it.
Anyone else have the next song button go down and not up? Seems like it should be the other way.
Left button is for lane keeping. The right is the gap setting for when using adaptive cruise control
Manual?
Didn't it come with an instruction manual.....?
There's a giant book in your glove box. Maybe try reading it instead of being lazy and posting here.
25 K5?

Love those controls, want to swap mines n add functionality if possible on my '19.
It's weird. This expensive car comes with a book you read to understand your new expensive car.
Itās traction control. Itās in the owners manual.
Itās all laid out in your manual
I literally have all the same buttons on my new 25 but for some reason my brain just froze when I looked at this picture. For context, my gummy just kicked in and I just finished watching the presidential debate.
RTFM!

Look it up on the manual!
You should really familiarize yourself with stuff you buy, it's 2024, you don't need to have or buy manuals anymore. They are pretty easily findable.

Bottom 2 are driver assist. Bottom left is lane keeping or blind spot and the bottom right is probably parking sensors or some other driving lane keeping aid on/off button Middle e kind of self explanatory if you have used a smart phone at all or any smart device in the last 10 or so years Top one on left I believe based off symbol is odometer/trip mileage or dash light dimming Top right is going to be cruise control probably press that button to turn it on and then the right middle switch switch clicks up to set the speed and after setting your speed you can click it up or down to adjust your speed. Long stretchās of highways you can do whatever with out touching the gas Again assuming, if there is a thick book in the glove box it makes for great reading material when you poop.
Lane assist and follow distance for cruise in order
As others have said, wheel with lines is lane auto centering, which helps keep you in your lane. Car with lines sets the following distance when using radar adaptive cruise control. You can increase or decrease following distance. Car with the gauge in front turns radar cruise on or off. In every car I've seen, the logo for cruise control is a little gauge with an arrow, cars with radar cruise is the same little gauge logo but with a car behind it, just like on your car.
Bottom left is likely a lane departure warning toggle, the right is the radar control setting for cruise control I believe? To change how closely you follow the vehicle in front of you.
Lines with steering wheel is lane keeping assistant. Like if your car touches the lines steering will auto Maneuver the car to the centre of the lanes. The second one is I think front collision detection or maybe parking sensor.
Iām almost certain your vehicle came with an owners manual, or you could Google one. Looks like cruise control, lane assist, and the automatic braking.
Press "ok" and your passenger will shut up.
If you have an iphone i think you can use your camera to focus on the button and it will bring up what it isā¦.. its too much to write š
The car should have come with an owner's manual. That will tell you everything there is to know about the car.

Itās for when the cruise control is on. The button with the lines and the steering wheel means the car will keep you in the lines if itās on, and the car button is the distance the car will keep from cars ahead of you. So, if your cruise control is on, it will slow down/speed up for you depending on how close you are to other cars, and if you start to go over the line it will correct you.
They are auto drive modes, meaning when they are on; this happens. The driving wheel in between the lanes will alert you when you are driving over the lines, the white ones or yellow. It is to keep you from lane drifting. The one with car and 3 lines is a distance alert. If you are in cruise control for speed, it will apply the breaks when you get to close to the car in front of you. It will also adjust your speed but keep you at cruise control. Meaning this, you set your speed to 65 mph, but the car in front of you is doing 60 mpr, your car will set a new speed to 60 mph, until that slow car moves out of your way. It will then go back to 65 mph when no one is in front of you. Hope that helps, but as always, please read your manual for up to date functions.
I donāt use either the steering wheel or the lane assist but from what Iāve heard, it is incredibly useful.

Car with the lines is how far back you'll follow the car in front if you are using adaptive cruise control. The other one is to toggle lane assist to let your car steer itself to keep it in the lane
You'll have to do a lot more reading on Reddit than you would if you looked at the manual. Usually the manual explains every button and feature in good detail. I learned about many hidden and unadvertised features by sifting through my manual. You just have to skim past all the warnings and legal stuff.
Adaptive cruise control, setting the distance between you and the car in front. Lane assist, sensors keep you between the lines.
Iām not sure but I think the circle with the lines is so you can turn off the nav link and use the force to aim for the exhaust port on the Death Star. I could be wrong.
Really ...Kia must have a Website .
I'm assuming the line with car is lane assist and the 3 bars is to alert you if a car is getting too close to your bumper or adaptive cruise control but could be wrong
Saved my life a few times driving home from Denver.. no joke
So your car comes equipped with a Front Radar either behind the badge in the grille (badge will be smooth plastic) or lower down at the bottom grille behind a flat rectangle of plastic. You also have a camera by the rear view mirror under a plastic covering. So, the bottom left button, steering wheel with lines, is a feature called Lane Centering. Generally, this will make the vehicle hold itself centered between lines on the road if available. You will generally be told by the car to keep your hands on the wheel if you take them off for too long. The car will go through mild curves in the road 'on its own' as long as it's active. The bottom right button is your Front Radar Assisted Crusie Control distance control. Hyundai/Kia call it Smart Cruise Control, SCC. That button changes the distance your car will hold between you and the car you're following as long as your SCC is active, i.e. your cruise control is active. I'm a calibration tech and do this stuff for a living. Nice car bro
Lane assist, and rear camera?
You have a manual.. Just look at pictures and details.. That's why they give it to you.
Self steering for highways. It wont corner but will keep you in the lane on a highway curve. Car with the three lines might be adaptive cruise control, matching the car in fronts speed. But without a model and trim level itās a guess
Did you read the manual
Up, Down, Left, Right = Turbo Boost!
Steering wheel with parallel lines is lane keep, means the car will try to stay in its lane, the car with horizontal lines is the follow distance for adaptive cruise control. I have a Mazda and itās similar to this (:
Use the book that came in the glovebox.
I know the top left button will file your taxes for youā¦ or it prints one sided. Itās one of those 2ā¦.
Are KIA salespeople that bad that you can't follow up with your sales consultant with questions on your vehicle?
It's called a manual?
The owners manual is a good place to start
Lane keep assist is the left one and the right one is cruise control follow distance
There's this wonderful thing called an owners manual that will tell you all this information š¤£
Respectfully, read the fuckin manual.
The car in the lines is called lane assist it basically keeps your car in its lane while driving need to have hands on wheel, the car with the 3 lines behind it is adaptive cruise control which mean youāll cruise at a speed thatāll keep up with the car in front of you itās to be used with the button right above it on the steering wheel (the car w the gauge).
Press them and find outā¦
Owners manual is a good thing to go through and know.
If only there was a manual you could reference on these things. Joking aside, you got a new car. You need to read how it works. You will learn more than asking random people here, trust me.
The left button is ālane keep assist ā steering while should notify you if you start veering outside your lane. Second is cruise control distance between you and the car in front of you. Should have 3 settings.
Read your owners manual fool
The glove box should have a manual for all of that. Always check it. The car on lanes is lane keeping assist the little rectangles next to it are for distance, the left swiiis for selecting ok, the right switch is for speed selection, top right the car with the little circle is to turn on/off the cruise and the papers on the left is to scroll through pages on your display.
There is a thing called Owner Manual where explain everything you need to know about your car. Congratulations in your new purchase!
It took more effort to make this post then it would have to just Google it yourself smh
Just read your fucking owners manual what the fuck??
You have a book in youāre glove box read it
There's a book in the glove box.
what does the owners manual say about it?
There's a book in the glove box you should read. It'll even tell you about wiper maintenence mode. Good luck. How do these idiots not know what they are buying?!
Christ, what a dickish response
