Kia Telluride 2022 Highway Driving Assist (HDA)

With its cutting-edge Highway Driving Assist (HDA) system, the 2022 Kia Telluride completely changes the way you drive. This is a huge step forward in driver aid technology and highway safety. The adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane-keeping assist (LKA) functions are combined more smoothly by HDA, which improves Telluride’s skills on highway trips. HDA gives the car the ability to change its speed automatically based on traffic conditions and expertly stay in its lane, even around turns and curves, by using a complex network of cameras, sensors, and radar technology. This intelligent system gives drivers a new sense of trust and ease, making long-distance travel safer and more enjoyable. It was mostly made for highways but can also be used on some well-marked roads. The HDA-equipped 2022 Kia Telluride shows that Kia is serious about changing the way people drive today, by setting new standards for comfort, safety, and technology in the SUV market.

Highway Driving Assist (HDA)

Highway Driving Assist is designed to control the vehicle distance and speed when driving on the highway. The function assists drivers by receiving information about speed limit of the highway that the vehicle is on and automatically changing the set speed of Smart Cruise Control when it is needed.

•  Highway Driving Assist relies entirely on the road information provided by the Infotainment System. It is the responsibility of the driver to follow traffic laws and avoid accidents.
•  For your safety, please read the owner’s manual before using the function.

The set-up of Highway Driving Assist will be maintained, as selected when the engine is restarted.

Operating conditions

If you activate Highway Driving Assist in the instrument cluster and the following conditions are met, Highway Driving Assist will be ready to operate, and the indicator light
will come on the green in the cluster.

• When driving on the highway’s main line.
•  When Smart Cruise Control is in  operation (Vehicle deceleration and acceleration control)
  
  • If Smart Cruise Control is in standby mode (Smart Cruise Control is on but speed is not set), Highway Driving Assist will be in the same mode. The white indicator light will be turned on.
•  When the vehicle speed is below 95 mph (153 km/h)

Highway Driving Assist Operation

The speed is automatically set in accordance with the steering control and the highway speed limit when all the operating conditions are met.

Steering control

If both lanes are recognized properly (lane color: white), the steering wheel indicator () lights up in green and then the steering control is initiated. When the function cannot provide temporary steering inputs, the indicator flashes green and then changes to white. Even when Highway Driving Assist cannot provide temporary steering inputs, it still controls the distance from other vehicles.
Warning related to the steering wheel

The hands-off warning appears when the function detects that the driver’s hands are not on the steering wheel while Highway Driving Assist is in operation.
(First warning: warning message, Second warning: warning message with warning sound)

CAUTION

• The hands-off warning may be delayed depending on road conditions. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel while driving.
•  If you hold the steering wheel lightly, it may be perceived that the steering wheel is not held at all and trigger the hands-off warning.

When the hands-off warning lasts for a certain period of time

If you keep your hands off the steering wheel even with the hands-off warning on, the steering assist and Smart Cruise Control will be temporarily released automatically.
If you activate Smart Cruise Control with Highway Driving Assist released, the steering assist will re-start.

Automatic speed setting

In the automatic speed setting mode, the set speed is automatically adjusted to the changing speed limits of highway sections.

If the driver directly changes the speed, it enters the manual speed setting mode and the set speed is displayed in white and the “AUTO” symbol will disappear.

CAUTION

•  In all situations, the driver’s behavior/judgment has the priority.
  Highway Driving Assist operates only when the driver has set it through the user settings in the instrument cluster.
•  Highway Driving Assist is limited in other countries.
•  Highway Driving Assist only operates based on the speed limits of the highway but it does not work with the speed cameras.
•  The time gap could occur between the navigation speed warning and function operation.
•  If the speed limits of speed cameras exceed the highway speed limits during the automatic speed setting mode, the navigation displays its own warning.
• The function is not designed to work on expressways, national highways and public roads. The function automatically cancels when you leave the highway.
•  Highway Driving Assist is deactivated on the user settings in the instrument cluster when it is not in operable condition.
•  When the vehicle is at a resting area or interchanges or junctions away from the main line of the highway, Highway Driving Assist is automatically turned off so it requires caution to the driver.
•  When you are 0.3 mile (500 m) before/after an open-type toll gate while driving on the highway, Highway Driving Assist is automatically turned off so it requires caution to the driver. It automatically switches to Smart Cruise Control and a pop-up window will appear to inform you of the change.
•  When the automatic speed setting is in operation, the set speed may automatically change on the highway in accordance with changes in the speed limit, leading to automatic acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle.

WARNING

• Regardless of whether Highway Driving Assist is on or off, you must keep eye on the road while driving and must obey all traffic laws.
