This warning message may appear when:

• One or both of the sensors on the rear bumper is blocked by dirt or snow or a foreign object.

• Driving in rural areas where the sensor does not detect another vehicle for an extended period of time.

• When there is inclement weather such as heavy snow or rain.

If any of these conditions occur, the light on Blind-Spot Safety button and the function will turn off automatically.

When Blind-Spot Collision Warning canceled warning message is displayed in the cluster, check to make sure that the rear bumper is free from any dirt or snow in the areas where the sensor is located. Remove any dirt, snow, or foreign material that could interfere with the radar sensors.

After any dirt or debris is removed, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist should operate normally after about 10 minutes of driving the vehicle.

If you use Blind-Spot Collision Warning and Blind-spot Collision-avoidance Assist, remove a trailer or carrier.

If Blind-Spot Collision Warning/Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist still does not operate normally, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
