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.

• If the detecting sensors have been replaced or repaired, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

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

• 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 the function 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 inspectedby an authorized Kia dealer.

• Use only genuine parts to repair or replace a damaged front radar cover. Do not apply paint to the front radar cover.
