When the “Check Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system” warning message appears, the function is not working properly.

In this case, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked.

WARNING

Driver Attention Warning is not a substitute for safe driving practices. It is the responsibility of the driver to always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. Pay attention to the road conditions at all times.
It may suggest a break according to the driver's driving pattern or habits even if the driver doesn't feel fatigued.
The driver, who feels fatigued, should take a break, even though there is no break suggestion by Driver Attention Warning.

NOTICE

Driver Attention Warning utilizes the front view camera sensor on the front windshield for its operation.

To keep the front view camera sensor in the best condition, you should observe the followings:

Do not disassemble front view camera temporarily for tinted window or attaching any types of coatings and accessories. If you disassemble a front view camera and assemble it again, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked.
Do not place any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror) over the dashboard. Any light reflection may prevent Driver Attention Warning from functioning properly.
Pay extreme caution to keep the front view camera sensor dry.
Do not arbitrarily disassemble the camera assembly, or apply any impact on the front view camera assembly.
Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent occupants from hearing Driver Attention Warning warning sounds.
