Clunk from rear when ISG restarts

For one your buttons on the left dash side are different than mine. My gas door is on the right side and I do not have that little scroll knob. No clue what that even does.
That picture doesn't match my arrangement either (the wheel looks like a headlight adjustment), it's just the first I found with the LKA button. I believe my order is: dash brightness, LKA, gas door, rear hatch.

It looks like some swap out the powered hatch button for the passing car/lane change warning, some have both, and others have a blank spot or even two:

can the headlights be adjusted on some models?

anyhow, so yeah tomby's description was accurate. Tried all those things on my way home yesterday.
I guess I turned them off so early on I never really tried them.
The left side car between lines just beeps if you drift off.
The steering wheel will actually steer the car like self driving. I had no idea it did that. I thought it just bumped you back to center if you drifted.

But my cruise control absolutely will not go into a regular non adaptive mode no matter what combination of anything I press, hold,
press and hold, press then hold, hold then press, etc.
No regular mode. Ridiculous

That's interesting. I'll confirm how mine behaves next time I drive, since I don't use CC much locally, but I'm 95% certain that the adaptive/radar cruise is independent of regular cruise in mine.

I'm guessing that, like with LKA/LFA, Kia was adding & updating features with enough frequency that it created some inconsistency in what to combine and what to call them. I remember shopping for Stingers and being confused by which models/trims had active steering (LFA, formerly Active LKA), and until the other day had never used the lane correction one (LKA, car icon) and am still not really clear on what enabling it alongside LFA does.

I believe the beep is Lane Departure Warning, and if you don't correct it yourself, next will be Lane Keep Assist jerking the wheel back (Warning & Assist being the words Kia uses to distinguish alerts vs. active intervention).

If you've never used LFA (active steering, wheel icon), I'd encourage giving it a try for a few days. On winding country roads it just kind of guides the car and is very relaxing, but it's also funny the first time you forget it's on and hit traffic or an intersection, go to creep forward from a stop, and see/feel the car turn the wheel to keep you centered even at 1/2 mph.
