• This system activates when the parking distance warning button is pressed with the ENGINE START/STOP button ON.

• The indicator of the parking distance warning button turns on automatically and activates the parking distance warning when you shift the gear to the R (Reverse) position.

• The sensing distance while backing up is approximately 120 cm (47 inches) when you are driving less than 10 km/h (6.2 mph).

• The sensing distance while moving forward is approximately 100 cm (39 inches) when you are driving less than 10 km/h (6.2 mph).

• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest one will be recognized first.

• The side sensors are activated when you shift the gear to the R (Reverse) position.

• If the vehicle speed is above 20km/h, the system automatically turns off. To activate again, push the button.

NOTICE

It may not operate if it’s distance from the object is already less than approximately 25 cm when the system is ON.

1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when moisture melts.)

2. Sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or the sensor cover is blocked. (It will operate normally when the material is removed or the sensor is no longer blocked.)

3. The parking distance warning button is off.

1. Driving on uneven road surfaces such as unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, or gradient.

2. Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud motorcycle engines, or truck air brakes can interfere with the sensor.

3. Heavy rain or water spray.

4. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones present near the sensor.

5. Sensor is covered with snow.

1. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.

2. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m and narrower than 14 cm in diameter.

1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.

2. Objects, which tend to absorb sensor frequency such as clothes, spongy material or snow.

NOTICE

1. The warning may not sound sequentially depending on the speed and shapes of the objects detected.

2. The parking distance warning may malfunction if the vehicle bumper height or sensor installation has been modified. Any nonfactory installed equipment or accessories may also interfere with the sensor performance.

3. Sensor may not recognize objects less than 30 cm from the sensor, or it may sense an incorrect distance. Use with caution.

4. When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow or water, the sensor may be inoperative until the stains are removed using a soft cloth.

5. Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor with any hard objects that could damage the surface of the sensor. Sensor damage could occur.

This system can only sense objects within the range and location of the sensors, it can not detect objects in other areas where sensors are not installed. Also, small or slim objects, or objects located between sensors may not be detected.

Always visually check in front and behind the vehicle when driving. Be sure to inform any drivers in the vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the system regarding the systems capabilities and limitations.

WARNING

Pay close attention when the vehicle is driven close to objects on the road, particularly pedestrians, and especially children. Be aware that some objects may not be detected by the sensors, due to the objects distance, size or material, all of which can limit the effectiveness of the sensor. Always perform a visual inspection to make sure the vehicle is clear of all obstructions before moving the vehicle in any direction.

When you shift the gear to the R (Reverse) position and if one or more of the below occurs you may have a malfunction in the parking distance warning-reverse.

• You don't hear an audible warning sound or if the buzzer sounds intermittently.

• is displayed.

If this occurs, have the system checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
