Malfunction and limitations

Malfunction

When Intelligent Speed Limit Assist is not working properly, the 'Check speed limit system' warning message will appear on the cluster. If this occurs, we recommend the function checked by an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Function disabled

When the front windshield where the front view camera is located is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Intelligent Speed Limit Assist.

If this occurs, the 'Speed limit system disabled. Camera obscured' warning message will appear on the cluster. The function will operate normally when snow, rain or foreign material is removed.

If the system does not operate normally after it is removed, we recommend the function checked by an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Notice
  • Even though the warning message or warning light does not appear on the cluster, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist may not operate properly.

  • If the detecting sensor is contaminated immediately after starting the engine, the system may not operate properly.
