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

• Never disassemble the rear corner radar or radar assembly, or cause any damage to it.

• If the rear corner radar or near the radar has been damaged or impacted in any way, even though the warning message does not appear on the cluster, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly. In this case, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

• If the rear corner radars have been replaced or repaired, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

• Use only genuine parts to repair the rear bumper where the rear corner radar is located.

• 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 have 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.
