After starting the engine, a beep will sound when the gear is shifted to R (Reverse) to indicate the function is operating normally.

However, if one or more of the following occurs, first check whether the ultrasonic sensor is damaged or blocked with foreign material. If it still does not work properly, have the function be inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

  • The audible warning does not sound.

  • The buzzer sounds intermittently.

WARNING

  • Even vehicles equipped with Parking Distance Warning, drive carefully and always look around your vehicle to make sure there are no objects or obstacles behind. The operation of the function can be affected by environmental conditions. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the front and rear views before and while parking.

  • Your new vehicle warranty does not cover any accidents or damage to the vehicle due to the malfunction of Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning.

  • Pay close attention when driving near objects, pedestrians, and especially children. Some objects may not be detected by the ultrasonic sensors, due to the objects distance, size or material, all of which can limit the effectiveness of the sensor.
