• Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning will activates when the Parking Safety button is pressed with the engine running.

• The Parking Safety button turns on automatically and activates the function when the gear is R (Reverse) position. However, if vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), the function will not warn you even though objects are detected, and if vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), the function will turn off automatically. To turn on the function, press the Parking Safety button.

• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest one will be recognized first.

It may not operate if the vehicle's distance from the object is already less than approximately 25 cm (10 inches) when the function is activated.

Distance from object cm (in)		Warning indicator		Warning sound
		When driving forward	When driving backward
60~100 (24~40)	Front		-	Buzzer beeps intermittently
60~120 (24~48)	Rear	-		Buzzer beeps intermittently
30~60 (12~24)	Front			Buzzer beeps frequently
	Rear	-		Buzzer beeps frequently
30 (12)	Front			Buzzer beeps continuously
	Rear	-		Buzzer beeps continuously

• The actual warning sound and indicator may differ from the illustration depending on the objects or sensor status.

• Do not wash the vehicle's sensor with high pressure water.

NOTICE

• The indicator may differ from the illustration depending on objects or sensors status. If the indicator blinks, Have the function checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

• If the audible warning does not sound or if the buzzer sounds intermittently when the gear is R (Reverse) position, this may indicate a malfunction with Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible.

• Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when moisture melts.)

• Sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or the sensor cover is blocked. (It will operate normally when the material is removed or the sensor is no longer blocked.)

• Sensor is stained with foreign matter such as snow or water. (Sensing range will return to normal when removed.)

• The parking assist button is off.

• Driving on uneven road surfaces such as unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, or gradient.

• Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud motorcycle engines, or truck air brakes can interfere with the sensor.

• Heavy rain or water spray.

• Wireless transmitters or mobile phones present near the sensor.

• Sensor is covered with snow.

• Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.

• Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.

• Objects, which tend to absorb sensor frequency such as clothes, spongy material or snow.

• There are undetectable objects smaller than 100 cm (40 inches) and narrower than 14 cm (6 inches) in diameter.

NOTICE

1. The warning may not sound consistently depending on the speed and shapes of the objects detected.

2. Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning may malfunction if the vehicle bumper height or sensor installation has been modified. Any non-factory installed equipment or accessories may also interfere with the sensor performance.

3. Sensor may not recognize objects less than 30 cm (12 inches) from the sensor, or it may sense an incorrect distance. Use with caution.

4. When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow or water, the sensor may be inoperative until the stains are removed using a soft cloth.

5. Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor with any hard objects that could damage the surface of the sensor. Sensor damage could occur.

NOTICE

This function can only sense objects within the range and location of the sensors; it cannot detect objects in other areas where sensors are not installed. Also, small or slim objects, or objects located between sensors may not be detected.

Always visually check in front and behind the vehicle when driving. Be sure to inform any drivers in the vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the function regarding the function’s capabilities and limitations.

NOTICE

Pay close attention when the vehicle is driven close to objects on the road, particularly pedestrians, and especially children. Be aware that some objects may not be detected by the sensors, due to the objects distance, size or material, all of which can limit the effectiveness of the sensor. Always perform a visual inspection to make sure the vehicle is clear of all obstructions before moving the vehicle in any direction.
