Safe Exit Warning disabled

OCD041498L

When the rear bumper around the rear corner radar or sensor is covered with foreign matters, 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 properly when such foreign matters or trailer, etc., is removed, and then the engine is restarted.

If Safe Exit Warning does not operate properly 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 (for example, open terrain) where any objects 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 Safe Exit Warning to install or remove a trailer, carrier, or another attachment. Turn on Safe Exit Warning when finished.
