Take the following precautions to maintain optimal performance of the detecting sensor:

• Never disassemble the rear corner radar or radar assembly, or apply any impact on it.

• If there is impact on the rear corner radar or near the radar, even though the warning message does not appear on the cluster, Blind-Spot Safety system may not operate properly. In this case, have the vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

• If the rear corner radars have been replaced or repaired, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to contact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

• Use only Kia Genuine Parts or those of an equivalent standard to install bumper guards or replace a bumper.

• Do not apply license plate frame or objects, such as a bumper sticker, film or a bumper guard near the rear corner radar.

• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not work properly if the bumper has been replaced, or the surroundings of the rear corner radar has been damaged or paint has been applied. If a trailer, carrier, etc. is installed, it may adversely affect the performance of the rear corner radar or Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate.
