Warning message and warning light
When the camera is covered with dirt, snow, or debris, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist operation may not be able to detect other vehicles. In this case, the warning message appears to warn the driver.
This is not a malfunction with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. To operate Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist again, remove the foreign substances.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not properly operate in an area (e.g. open terrain), where objects or vehicles are not detected after turning ON the engine.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not activate without any warning messages depending on driving and road conditions.
-
Doing so may adversely affect the sensing performance of the sensor.
-
Always keep the sensor clean and free of dirt and debris.
-
Be careful not to apply unnecessary force on the sensor. If the sensor is forcibly moved out of proper alignment, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate correctly. In this case, a warning message may not be displayed. In this case, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the function inspected.
-
Use only genuine parts to repair or replace a damaged.
-
Do not tint the window or install stickers, accessories around the inside mirror where the camera is installed.
-
Make sure the frontal camera installation point does not get wet.
-
Do not impact or arbitrarily remove any camera components.
-
Do not place reflective objects (white paper or mirror etc.) on the dashboard.
The function may activate unnecessarily due to reflect of the sunlight.
