Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
recognition sensor (front radar)
In order for the Smart Regeneration
System to operate properly, always
make sure the radar sensor cover is
clean and free of dirt, snow, and debris.
Dirt, snow, or foreign substances on
the lens may adversely affect the
sensing performance of the sensor. In
this case, the system operation may
stop temporarily and not operate nor‐
mally.
CAUTION
• Do not apply license plate frame or
foreign objects such as a bumper
sticker or a bumper guard near the
radar sensor. Doing so may ad‐
versely affect the sensing per‐
formance of the radar.
• Always keep the radar sensor and
lens cover clean and free of dirt
and debris.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.

• Be careful not to apply unnecessa‐
ry force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is forci‐
bly moved out of proper align‐
ment, the Smart Regeneration
System may not operate correctly.
In this case, a warning message
may not be displayed.
Have the system checked by a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
• If the front bumper becomes dam‐
aged in the area around the radar
sensor, the Smart Regeneration
System may not operate properly.
Have the system checked by a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
• Use only genuine Kia parts to re‐
pair or replace a damaged sensor
or sensor cover. Do not apply paint
to the sensor cover.
System malfunction
Check Smart Regeneration System
The message will appear when the sys‐
tem is not functioning normally. The
system will be cancelled and the word
'AUTO' on the cluster will disappear and
instead display regenerative braking
level. Check for foreign substances on
the front radar. Remove any dirt, snow,
or foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors. If the system
still does not operate normally, have
the system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
