Function malfunction

When the “Check Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system” warning message appears, the function is not working properly. In this case, have the function checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING

  • Driver Attention Warning is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function only. It is the responsibility of the driver to always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. Pay attention to the road conditions at all times.

  • It may suggest a break according to the driver’s driving pattern or habits even if the driver doesn’t feel fatigued.

  • The driver, who feels fatigued, should take a break, even though there is no break suggestion by Driver Attention Warning.

NOTICE

Driver Attention Warning utilizes the camera sensor on the front windscreen for its operation. To keep the camera sensor in the best condition, you should observe the followings:

  • Do not disassemble camera temporarily for tinted window or attaching any types of coatings and accessories. If you disassemble a camera and assemble it again, have the function checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner and have the function checked to need a calibration.

  • Do not locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror) over the dashboard. Any light reflection may cause a malfunction of Driver Attention Warning.

  • Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out of water.

  • Do not arbitrarily disassemble the camera assembly, nor apply any impact on the camera assembly.

Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may offset Driver Attention Warning sounds.

CAUTION

Driver Attention Warning may not properly operate with limited warning in the following situations:

  • The lane detection performance is limited. (For more information, refer to More Details.)

  • The vehicle is violently driven or is abruptly turned for obstacle avoidance (e.g. construction area, other vehicles, fallen objects, bumpy road).

  • Forward drivability of the vehicle is severely undermined (possibly due to wide variation in tyre pressures, uneven tyre wear-out, toe-in/toe-out alignment).

  • The vehicle drives on a curvy road.

  • The vehicle drives on a bumpy road.

  • The vehicle drives through a windy area.

  • The vehicle is controlled by the following Driver Assistance functions:

    • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

    • Lane Keeping Assist

    • Smart Cruise Control
