CAUTION

Take the following precautions to maintain optimal performance of the detecting sensors:

  • Never disassemble the detecting sensor or sensor assembly, or apply any impact on it.

  • If the detecting sensor have been replaced or repaired, we recommend that you have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

  • Remote Smart Parking Assist may malfunction if the vehicle bumper height or ultrasonic sensor installation has been modified or damaged. Any non-factory installed equipment or accessories may also interfere with the sensor performance.

  • When the ultrasonic sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor may not operate until the stains are removed using a soft cloth.

  • Do not push, scratch or strike the ultrasonic sensor. Sensor damage could occur.

  • Do not spray the ultrasonic sensors or its surrounding area directly with a high pressure washer.
