When Remote Smart Parking Assist operates, Surround View Monitor and Parking Distance Warning will also operate. For more details, refer to More Details and More Details.
-
The driver is responsible for safe parking and exit when using Remote Smart Parking Assist. Make sure there are no pedestrians, animals or objects around the vehicle when using the function.
-
Always check surroundings when using Remote Smart Parking Assist. You may collide with pedestrians, animals, or objects if they are near the sensor or are in the sensor’s blind spot area.
-
A collision may occur if a pedestrian, animal, or object suddenly appears while Remote Smart Parking Assist is operating.
-
Do not use Remote Smart Parking Assist when under the influence of alcohol.
-
Do not let children or other people to use the smart key.
-
When operating Remote Smart Parking Assist, be careful of objects such as flower pots or parking blocks located above or below the ultrasonic sensor. Such object may damage the vehicle or other objects.
-
Remote Smart Parking Assist may not operate properly depending on the surroundings and other conditions.
-
If the Remote Smart Parking Assist is used continuously for a long period, it may adversely affect function performance.
-
Remote Smart Parking Assist may not operate normally if the vehicle needs wheel alignment adjustment such as when the vehicle tilts to one side. We recommend that the vehicle be checked by an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
-
If you use a different tire or wheel size rather than the size recommended, it may adversely affect Remote Smart Parking Assist performance.
-
Remote Smart Parking Assist performance may reduce on uneven surfaces (curbstone, speed bump, etc.).
-
If you attach objects or install any types of cover on the steering wheel, it may cancel Remote Smart Parking Assist operation.
-
Noise may be heard when braking occurs by Remote Smart Parking Assist or when the brake pedal is depressed by the driver.
-
Remote Smart Parking Assist may suddenly apply the brake to avoid collision.
-
Use the function only in a parking space that is large enough for the vehicle to move safely.
-
If the 3rd stage warning (continuous beep) of the Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning sounds while Remote Smart Parking Assist is operating, it means the obstacle detected is close to your vehicle. At this time, Remote Smart Parking Assist will temporarily stop operating. Make sure there are no pedestrians, animals, or objects around your vehicle.
-
Depending on brake operation, the stop lights may come on while the vehicle is moving.

-
Water flows on the surface of the sensor
-
Installing the license plate differently from the original location
-
-
Detecting range may decrease when:
-
Sensor is covered with foreign matters, such as snow or water (The function will operate normally when such foreign material are removed.)
-
The weather is extremely hot or cold
-
