Kia Optima 2017, Owner'S Manual, Page: 474 / 776

Warning message and warning light
OJF055187L
When the sensor cover or the sensor
lens is smudged with the foreign sub‐
stances, such as snow or rain, the AEB
operation may temporarily stop. In this
case, the warning message appears to
warn the driver.
This is not a malfunction with the AEB.
To operate the AEB again, remove the
foreign substances.
NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor ar‐
bitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper
area clean.
• Use only soft clothes to wash the
vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unnecessa‐
ry force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to ex‐
ternal force, the system may not
normally operate even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, we recommend you to have
the vehicle inspected by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor
cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover.
