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 sub-
stances on the lens may adversely
affect the sensing performance of
the sensor. In this case, the system
operation may stop temporarily and
not operate normally.
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
adversely affect the sensing
performance 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 pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, 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
recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service part-
ner.
• If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around
the radar sensor, the Smart
Regeneration System may not
operate properly. Have the
system checked by a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
• Use only genuine Kia parts to
repair or replace a damaged
sensor or sensor cover. Do
not apply paint to the sensor
cover.
