[A]: Warning sound

Right

If the vehicle detected by the sensors approaches from the rear left/right side of your vehicle, the warning chime will sound, the warning light on the outside rear view mirror will blink and a message will appear on the LCD display. If the rear view monitor is in activation, a message will also appear on the infotainment system screen.

The warning will stop when:

  • The detected vehicle moves out of the sensing area or

  • when the vehicle is right behind your vehicle or

  • when the vehicle is not approaching your vehicle or

  • when the other vehicle slows down or

  • The vehicle's approaching speed is decreased.

CAUTION
  • When the operation condition of the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning is met, the warning will occur every time a vehicle approaches the side or rear of your stopped (0 km/h (0 mph) vehicle speed) vehicle.

  • The function’s warning or brake may not operate properly if the left or right of your vehicle's rear bumper is blocked by a vehicle or obstacle.

  • The driver should always use extreme caution while operating the vehicle, whether or not the warning light on the outer side view mirror appears or there is a warning alarm.

  • Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent occupants from hearing the function’s warning sounds.

  • If any other warning sound such as seat belt warning chime is already generated, the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning warning may not sound.

WARNING
  • Drive safely even though the vehicle is equipped with a Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning. Do not rely solely on the function but check your surrounding when backing up the vehicle.

  • The driver is responsible for accurate brake control.

  • Always use extreme caution while driving. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning may not operate properly or unnecessarily operate in accordance with your driving situations.

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function only. It is the responsibility of the driver to always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. Pay attention to the road conditions and surroundings at all times.

CAUTION
  • The function may not work properly when the bumper has been damaged, or if the rear bumper has been replaced or repaired.

  • The function may turn off if interfered by electromagnetic waves.

  • Always keep the sensors clean.

  • NEVER disassemble the sensor component or apply any impact on the sensor component.

  • Be careful not to apply unnecessary force on the radar sensor or sensor cover. If the sensor is forcibly moved out of proper alignment, the function may not operate correctly. In this case, a warning message may not be displayed. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

  • Do not apply foreign objects such as a bumper sticker or a bumper guard near the radar sensor or apply paint to the sensor area. Doing so may adversely affect the performance of the sensor.
