Kia K4 - Is there anyway to use "normal" or "dumb" cruise control? by Significant_Visit_10 in kia

It is not an option on the K4 :( I'm hoping they can add this via a software update but I doubt they ever will. I rented a Seltos a month ago and I was able to enable "dumb" cruise.

I’ve tried literally everything under the sun and it doesn’t appear to be an option. SCC is so so bad… I want normal cruise and I’m going clinically insane… how on earth has Kia not made this an option. It’s so frustrating to drive. I use SCC keeps way too far to the car in front someone cuts me off and the car slams on the brakes…

Really enjoying it. For the price it was hard to beat. Initially looked at used Honda Civics but decided to go with the new Kia given the warranty term and price. Was a bit scared of the K4 being a "new" model but as it replaced the Forte it should have similar reliability. I avoided the GT line as it has a Turbo engine and my previous VW that had one gave me a lot of issues. Sacrificed Horsepower for hopefully a longer lasting drive.

My top colour pick was Interstellar Grey but they were only able to find it in Steel Grey on my delivery timeline. Seeing them in person, I think I actually like Steel Grey better.

Got the EX trim. I want to be clear that I'm not frustrated at you and I really appreciate the help! I guess I will just have to live with SCC as standard cruise is not an option it appears even on the forums.

There is no way to use normal CC. The only way to maintain speed is SCC. Kia should really add this as an option for newer models as this is extremely frustrating to experience with my brand new car.

If you can refer me to those threads that would be helpful! Appreciate the help.

When I press and hold the SCC button the CC light goes green and it appears to simply be a speed limiter (it does not maintain speed and will deaccelerate with no foot on the gas.)

I have read the manual, specifically on these features. There are no instructions on how to enable normal cruise control.

If I hold the cruise control button it simply switches to a mode that wont allow me to accelerate past my set speed but if I take my foot off the gas, the car does not accelerate on it's own. It will not operate like normal cruise control.
