Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning has a self-diagnosis function that can determine whether the ultrasonic sensor is working properly. After starting the engine, a beep will sound when the gear is shifted to R (Reverse) to indicate the function is operating normally.

However, if one or more of the following occurs, first check whether the ultrasonic senior is damaged or whether the function is in a non-operating condition. If it still does not work properly, we recommend that the function be inspected by an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

• The audible warning does not sound.

• The buzzer sounds intermittently.

• The 'Parking sensor error or blockage' warning message appears on the cluster.

• Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning may malfunction if the vehicle bumper height or ultrasonic sensor installation has been modified or damaged. Any non-factory installed equipment or accessories may also interfere with the sensor performance.

• When the ultrasonic sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor may be not operate until the stains are removed using a soft cloth.

• Do not push, scratch or strike the ultrasonic sensor. Sensor damage could occur.

• Do not spray the ultrasonic sensors or its surrounding area directly with a high pressure washer.
