When Safe Exit Assist is not working properly, the 'Check Blind-Spot Safety system(s)' warning message will appear on the cluster, and the function will turn off automatically or the function will be limited. Have the vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Safe Exit Assist disabled

When the rear bumper around the rear corner radar or sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, or installing a trailer or carrier, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Safe Exit Assist.

If this occurs, the 'Blind-Spot Safety system(s) disabled. Radar blocked' warning message will appear on the cluster.

The function will operate normally when such foreign material or trailer, etc. is removed, and then the engine is restarted.

If the function does not operate normally after it is removed, have the vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

CAUTION

Turn off Safe Exit Assist to install a trailer, carrier, etc., or remove the trailer, carrier, etc. to use Safe Exit Assist.

Safe Exit Assist may not operate normally, or the function may operate unexpectedly under the following circumstances:

• Getting out of the vehicle where trees or grass are overgrown
