Kia Niro: Vehicle to vehicle distance setting / SCC (smart cruise control) malfunction message

Kia Niro (DE HEV) Owners Manual / Driving your vehicle / Smart cruise control system / Vehicle to vehicle distance setting / SCC (smart cruise control) malfunction message

The message (“Check Smart Cruise Control System”) will appear when the vehicle to vehicle distance control system is not functioning normally.

We recommend have the system checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION

Do not install accessories around the sensor and do not replace the bumper by yourself. It may interfere with the sensor performance.
Always keep the sensor and bumper clean.
To prevent sensor cover damage from occurring, wash the car with a soft cloth.
Do not damage the sensor or sensor area by a strong impact. If the sensor moves slightly off position, the smart cruise control system will not operate correctly without any warning or indicator from the cluster. If this occurs, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
Use only a genuine Kia sensor cover for your vehicle. Do not paint anything on the sensor cover.
