Manual Speed Limit Assist allows you to set a precise maximum speed for your Kia Sorento, ensuring you remain within legal limits or your personal preferences. If you happen to exceed the preset speed, the system will alert you via a blinking set speed display and an audible chime until you decelerate back within the defined threshold.
