Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled
Warning message: Driver assistance system limited. Radar blocked
Warning message: Driver assistance system limited. Camera obscured
When the windscreen where the front view camera is located, front radar cover, bumper or sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain or with weather conditions such as fog and heavy rain, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs the warning message, and the Forward Safety warning light (
), the Emergency Steering warning light (
) and the Master warning light (
) will appear on the cluster, but it is not a failure of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will operate properly when carrier, other equipment (if equipped) or foreign material is removed.
If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate properly after obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign material) is removed (including trailer, carrier, etc. from the rear bumper), Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
-
Even though the warning message or warning light does not appear on the cluster, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not properly operate.
-
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not properly operate in an area (e.g. open terrain), where there is nothing to detect, or detecting sensor is covered in foreign material after turning ON the vehicle.
-
Even after starting the vehicle again, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not function properly when the obstruction or malfunction condition persists.
You can check it in the service message of the utility information view of the cluster display window.
