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

• Always keep the rear view camera and rear ultrasonic sensors clean.

• Do not use any cleanser containing acid or alkaline detergents when cleaning the rear view camera lens. Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse thoroughly with water.

• Never disassemble or apply impact on the rear view camera or the rear ultrasonic sensors components.

• Do not apply unnecessary force on the rear view camera or the rear ultrasonic sensors. The system may not operate properly if the rear view camera or the rear ultrasonic sensor(s) is forcibly moved out of proper alignment. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

• Do not spray the rear view camera or the rear ultrasonic sensors or their surrounding area directly with a high pressure washer. It may cause the rear view camera or the rear ultrasonic sensors to malfunction.

• The system may not work properly if the bumper has been damaged, replaced or repaired.

• Do not apply objects, such as abumper sticker or a bumper guard, near the rear view camera or rear ultrasonic sensors or apply paint to the bumper. Doing so may adversely affect the performance of the system.

• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate normally if interfered by strong electromagnetic waves.
