Safe Exit Warning disabled

OBD041262L

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

If Safe Exit 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.

WARNING
  • Even though the warning message does not appear on the cluster, Safe Exit Warning may not properly operate.

  • Safe Exit 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 matters right after the engine is turned on.

CAUTION

Turn off Safety Exit Warning to install a trailer, carrier, etc., or remove the trailer, carrier, etc. to use Safety Exit Warning.
