What is Kia’s Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go?

The average Canadian spends more than an hour commuting to and from work every day. Over the course of a full year, this equals to roughly 275 hours or about 12 straight days spent commuting. With driving taking so much time out of your day, why not make that time less stressful and more enjoyable?

With this in mind, Kia has introduced the Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system with Stop & Go. SCC works like a normal cruise control system but can also adjust speed and come to a complete stop by using a combination of sensors and a front-facing camera to determine the distance and speed of vehicles travelling ahead of you.

Once you are travelling at your desired speed and "set" SCC in place, the system will slow down and speed up to match traffic patterns in front of you. If the vehicle in front of you comes to a complete stop, your vehicle will likewise come to a complete stop. If the vehicle ahead resumes driving within 3 seconds of stopping the system will automatically start and resume following the ahead vehicle. It's important to note that if the vehicle remains at a complete stop for longer than 3 seconds you will need to reactivate the system by pressing the accelerator pedal or the “Resume +” button mounted on your steering wheel.
