Date:  February 2, 2021

A customer’s ability to understand the functionality of the Smart Trunk feature can help avoid “Difficult to Understand” concerns. Full explanation of this feature can “surprise and delight” the customer.

To maximize the Smart Trunk feature understanding:

  • This feature can be activated in the instrument cluster settings menu (default setting from the factory is OFF). To enable the Smart Trunk, go to User Settings in the LCD Instrument Cluster modes or Vehicle Settings in the audio head unit (vehicles with Navigation).

  • When the Smart Key fob is in your possession and you are near the rear of the vehicle, within close proximity, the hazard lights will blink and a chime will sound for about 3 seconds as an alert that the Smart Trunk is about to open. Then the alert system will blink and chime two additional times before opening the trunk. Once you are finished, simply close the trunk and it will lock automatically when you walk away.

  • Press any button on the Smart Key fob during the Detect and Alert stage to deactivate the Smart Trunk Feature.

KEY REMINDERS:

The Smart Trunk feature will not operate:

  • If doors are recently closed and locked upon exiting the vehicle. The Smart Key will be detected for 15 seconds within close proximity of the door handles (60 inches)

  • When a door is not locked or closed

  • When the Smart Key is in the vehicle

For additional information on the Smart Trunk operation, please refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual.

SUBJECT:  IQS Quick Tip #24 Manual/Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (MSLA/ISLA)
Date:  February 2, 2021

Kia has introduced two (2) new Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features available in some trims of the 2021 MY Sorento:

  • Manual Speed Limit Assist (MSLA): the customer manually sets and monitors the vehicle speed and when enabled the system warns the driver when the vehicle surpasses the preset speed limit

  • Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA): when activated, uses the information from the posted speed limit and the vehicle’s navigation system to inform the driver of the speed limit

As part of the perfect 2021 MY Sorento delivery, please include an explanation of the operation of MSLA and ISLA features.

Note: Refer to the Owners’ Manual and Sorento Features and Functions Guide for additional information.
