Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control operates on main roads of highways (or motorways), and does not operate on interchanges or junctions.
WARNING
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC) is a supplemental function and is not a substitute for safe driving. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead. Always drive safely and use caution.
NOTICE
- The Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown and Highway Set Speed Auto Change function uses the same ( ) symbol.
- The images and colours in the instrument cluster may differ depending on the cluster type or theme selected from the settings menu.
Highway Curve Zone Auto Slow-down
If vehicle speed is high, the Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will temporarily decelerate your vehicle or limit acceleration to help you drive safely on a curve based on the curve information from the navigation.

If temporary deceleration is required in the standby state and Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating, the green ( ) symbol will appear on the cluster.
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control pause/driver operation If Smart Cruise Control cannot be operated due to pause or rerouting, the grey ( ) symbol will appear on the cluster. If the accelerator pedal is depressed, the white ( ) symbol will appear on the cluster.
WARNING
A: Drive carefully
The warning message will appear in the following circumstances:
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is not able to slow down your vehicle to a safe speed
NOTICE
The images and colours in the instrument cluster may differ depending on the cluster type or theme selected from the settings menu.
Highway Curve Zone Auto Slow-down
- Depending on the curve ahead on the highway (or motorway), the vehicle will decelerate, and after passing the curve, the vehicle will accelerate to the Smart Cruise Control set speed.
NOTICE
Vehicle deceleration time may differ depending on the vehicle speed and the degree of the curve on the road. The higher the driving speed, deceleration will start faster.

Limitations of Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
2023 Kia Telluride Cruise Control User Guide
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate properly under the following circumstances:
- The navigation is not working properly
- Speed limit and road information in the navigation is not updated
- Map information is not transmitted due to the infotainment system’s abnormal operation
- The map information and the actual road are different because of real-time GPS data or map information error
- The navigation searches for a route while driving
- GPS signals are blocked in areas such as tunnel
- A road that divides into two or more roads and joins again
- The driver goes off course on the route set in the navigation
- The route to the destination is changed or cancelled by resetting the navigation
- The vehicle enters a service station or rest area
- Android Auto or Car Play is operating
- The navigation cannot detect the current vehicle position (for example, elevated roads including overpasses adjacent to general roads or nearby roads exist in a parallel way)
- The navigation is being updated while driving
- The navigation is being restarted while driving
- The speed limit of some sections changes according to the road situations
- Driving on a road under construction
- Driving on a road that is controlled
- There is bad weather, such as heavy rain, heavy snow, etc.
- Driving on a sharply curved road
[1]: Set route, [2]: Branch line, [3]: Driving route, [4]: Main road, [5]: Curved road section
- When there is a difference between the navigation set route (branch line) and the driving route (main road), the Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function may not operate until the driving route is recognized as the main road.
- When the vehicle’s driving route is recognized as the main road by maintaining the main road instead of the navigation set route, the Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will operate. Depending on the distance to the curve and the current vehicle speed, vehicle deceleration may not be sufficient or may decelerate rapidly.
[1]: Main road, [2]: Branch line, [3]: Driving route, [4]: Set route, [5]: Curved road section
- When there is a difference between the navigation route (main road) and the driving route (branch line), the High-way Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will operate based on the curve information on the main road.
- When it is judged that you are driving out of the route by entering the high-way interchange or junction, the Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will not operate.
[1]: Driving route, [2]: Branch line, [3]: Curved road section, [4]: Main road
- If there is no destination set on the navigation, the Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will operate based on the curve information on the main road.
- Even if you depart from the main road, the Highway Curve Zone Auto Slow-down function may temporarily operate due to navigation information of the highway curve section.
WARNING
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function. Always have your eyes on the road, and it is the responsibility of the driver to avoid violating traffic laws.
- The navigation’s speed limit information may differ from the actual speed limit information on the road. It is the driver’s responsibility to check the speed limit on the actual driving road or lane.
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control will automatically be cancelled when you leave the highway (or motorway) main road. Always pay attention to the road and driving conditions while driving.
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate due to the existence of leading vehicles and the driving conditions of the vehicle. Always pay attention to the road and driving conditions while driving.
- When you are towing a trailer or another vehicle, turn off Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control for safety reasons.
- After you pass through a tollgate on a highway (or motorway), Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control will operate based on the first lane. If you enter one of the other lanes, Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control might not operate properly.
- The vehicle will accelerate if the driver depresses the accelerator pedal while Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating, and the function will not decelerate the vehicle. However, if the accelerator pedal is depressed insufficiently, the vehicle may decelerate.
- If the driver accelerates and releases the accelerator pedal while Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating, the vehicle may not decelerate sufficiently or may rapidly decelerate to a safe speed.
- If the curve is too large or too small, Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate.
NOTICE
- A time gap could occur between the navigation’s guidance and when the Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control operation starts and ends.
- The speed information on the cluster and navigation may differ.
- Even if you are driving at a speed lower than the Smart Cruise Control’s set speed, acceleration may be limited by the curve sections ahead.
- If Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating while leaving the main road to enter an interchange, junction, rest area, etc., the function may operate for a certain period.
- Deceleration by Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may feel it is not sufficient due to road conditions such as uneven road surfaces, narrow lanes, etc.
