Front view camera is a sensor for detecting lanes and the vehicles in front.

If the sensor is covered with dirt, snow or other foreign matter, the sensor’s detection performance will be degraded and Smart Cruise Control will be temporarily cancelled so that it does not properly work until it is cleaned.

Always keep the area in front of the sensor clean.

Front radar detects the distance to the vehicle ahead.

If the sensor or sensor cover is covered with dirt, snow or other foreign matter, the sensor’s detection performance will be degraded and Smart Cruise Control will be temporarily cancelled so that it does not properly work until it is cleaned.

Always keep the area in front of the sensor clean.

When the sensor cover is blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, Smart Cruise Control operation may stop temporarily. If this occurs, a warning message will appear on the LCD display. Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and clean the radar sensor cover before operating Smart Cruise Control. Smart Cruise Control may not properly activate, if the radar is totally contaminated, or if any substance is not detected after turning ON the motor (e.g. in an open terrain).

The message will appear when the vehicle distance control is not functioning normally.

In this case, have the function checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
