Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled
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 Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs, the 'Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system disabled. Radar blocked' warning message will appear on the cluster. It is not a malfunction.

Always keep the rear view camera and rear ultrasonic sensors clean.
If Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate properly after it is removed, We recommend that you have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
