Warning message
The message will appear to notify
the driver if there are foreign sub-
stances on the surface or inside the
rear bumper or it is hot near the rear
bumper. The light on the switch and
the system will be turned off auto-
matically.
Remove the foreign substance on
the rear bumper.
After the foreign substance is
removed, if you drive for approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will
work normally.
CAUTION
• The system may not work
properly when the bumper has
been damaged, or if the rear
bumper has been replaced or
repaired.
• The sensing range differs
somewhat according to the
width of the road. When the
road is narrow, the system
may detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
• The system may turn off due
to strong electromagnetic
waves.
• Always keep the sensors
clean.
• NEVER arbitrarily disassem-
ble the sensor component nor
apply any impact on the sen-
sor component.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• 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 system
may not operate correctly. In
this case, a warning message
may not be displayed. Take
your vehicle to a professional
workshop and have the sys-
tem checked.
Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
• Do not apply foreign objects
such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor or apply paint to the
sensor area. Doing so may
adversely affect the perform-
ance of the sensor.
