Blind-Spot Collision Warning 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 Blind-Spot Collision Warning.
If this occurs, the ‘Blind-Spot Safety system disabled. Radar blocked’ warning message will appear on the cluster.
Blind-Spot Collision Warning will operate normally when such foreign material or trailer, etc. is removed, and then the engine is restarted.
If Blind-Spot Collision Warning 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.

Even though the warning message does not appear on the cluster, Blind-Spot Collision Warning may not properly operate.
-
Blind-Spot Collision Warning may not properly operate in an area (e.g. open terrain), where any substance are not detected right after the engine is turned on, or when the detecting sensor is blocked with foreign material right after the engine is turned on.
Turn off Blind-Spot Collision Warning to install a trailer, carrier, etc., or remove the trailer, carrier, etc. to use Blind-Spot Collision Warning.
