A: Check Driver Assistance system.

If there is a problem with Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist or related functions and parts, a warning message is displayed on the cluster. If it still does not work properly, Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

A: Driver Assistance system limited. Camera obscured.

The wide-rear view camera and rear ultrasonic sensors detect objects around the vehicle. Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may be temporarily limited or may not operate if snow, rain, foreign substances, etc. get on the sensor. You can check the detection sensor blind warning target (wide-rear view camera, rear ultrasonic sensor) in the service message of the utility information view in the cluster display window. Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist works normally if you remove the contamination from the recognition sensor. Always keep it clean. If it still does not work properly even after decontamination is removed, Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not assist braking or warn the driver even if there are pedestrians or objects under the following circumstances:

• There is a problem with the vehicle

  • If there is a pattern on the road

  • Shadows on the ground or reflected light

  • Pedestrians or objects are near the path of the vehicle

  • Driving through narrow track or parking spaces

  • Driving on uneven surfaces such as unpaved roads, gravel, road jaws, ramps, etc

  • A trailer or carrier is installed around the rear corner radar

  • Any non-factory equipment or accessory is installed

  • Braking system components, such as brake discs and calipers, are modified

  • Wheels are misaligned or suspension components are modified

  • Accessories are attached to the steering wheel or steering components are modified

  • Your vehicle is unstable due to an accident or other causes

  • Bumper height or refar ultrasonic sensor installation has been modified

  • If there is severe tilting of the overall height due to abnormal tyre pressure or excessive loading in the cargo area

  • Wide view camera(s) or ultrasonic sensor(s) is damaged

  • Wide view camera(s) or the ultrasonic sensor(s) is stained with foreign material, such as snow, dirt, etc.

  • A snow chain, spare tyre, or wheel of a different size is installed

• There is a problem with the surroundings

  • Wide view camera(s) is obscured by a light source or by inclement weather, such as heavy rain, fog, snow, etc.

  • The surrounding is very bright or very dark

  • Outside temperature is very high or very low

  • The wind is either strong (above 20 km/h (12 mph)) or blowing perpendicular to the rear bumper

  • Objects generating excessive noise, such as vehicle horns, loud motorcycle vehicles or truck air brakes, are near your vehicle

  • An object that generates ultrasonic waves is nearby

  • A wireless device with a transmission function operates near the rear ultrasonic sensor

  • It is affected by another vehicle's parking distance warning function

  • The road is slippery or inclined

• There is a problem with pedestrians or objects

  • The pedestrians are difficult to detect

  • There is ground height difference between the vehicle and the pedestrian

  • The image of the pedestrian in the wide-rear view camera is indistinguishable from the background

  • The pedestrian is near the rear edge of the vehicle

  • The pedestrian is not standing upright

  • The pedestrian is either very short or very tall to detect

  • The pedestrian or cyclist is wearing clothing that easily blends into the background, making it difficult to detect

  • The pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ultrasonic waves well

  • Size, thickness, height, or shape of the object does not reflect ultrasonic waves well (for example, pole, bush, kerbs, carts, edge of a wall, etc.)

  • The pedestrian or the object is moving

  • The pedestrian or the object is very close to the rear of the vehicle

  • There is a large object such as a wall is behind the pedestrian or the object

  • The object is not located at the front or rear centre of your vehicle

  • The object is not parallel to the rear bumper

  • The face of the object is not parallel to the bumper

• There is a problem with the driving conditions

  • The driver drives the vehicle immediately after shifting to R (Reverse) or D (Drive)

  • The driver accelerates or circles the vehicle

  • The vehicle is driven immediately after starting the vehicle
