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 P (Park) to indicate the function is operating normally.

However, if one or more of the following occurs, first check whether the ultrasonic sensor is damaged or whether the function is in a non-operating condition. If it still does not work properly, have the function inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit 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.

  

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 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.
