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

• Never disassemble the detecting sensor or sensor assembly, or apply any impact on it.

• Never install any accessories or stickers on the front windshield, or tint the front windshield.

• If the detecting sensors have been replaced or repaired, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

• Pay extreme caution to keep the front view camera dry.

• Never place any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror) over the dashboard. Any light reflection may prevent Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist from functioning properly.

• Do not apply license plate frame or objects, such as a bumper sticker, film or a bumper guard, near the front radar cover.

• Always keep the front radar and cover clean and free of dirt and debris. Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized water directly on the sensor or sensor cover.

• If unnecessary force has been applied to the radar or around the radar, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not properly operate even though a warning message does not appear on the cluster. In this case, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

• The genuine Kia front radar sensor covers are parts with quality and performance ensured. If arbitrarily applying paint on or changing the cover, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not function properly. Use only Kia Genuine Parts or those of an equivalent standard with proven quality and performance to repair or replace the radar sensor covers.
