How Kia Smart Cruise Control can improve your commute 

Enter Kia Smart Cruise Control (SCC). This driver-assistance feature is available on many Kia models and can help make your commute on Dayton’s highways more relaxing. Here’s how: 

  • Set your speed: With SCC activated, you simply set your desired cruising speed. The car will then automatically maintain that speed, even if the traffic flow slows down. 
  • Maintain a safe distance: SCC uses radar to detect the vehicle in front of you and automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a pre-set following distance. This system not only reduces the need for constant braking and accelerating but also helps ensure a safe following distance. 
  • Reduce fatigue: By letting SCC handle the mundane task of maintaining speed and distance, you’ll be less fatigued behind the wheel. This alertness can be especially helpful on longer commutes or in stop-and-go traffic.
