OCV054153L

A: Driver Assistance system limited. Radar blocked.

When the front windshield where the front view camera is located, front radar cover, bumper or sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.

If this occurs the warning message, and the Forward Safety warning light (), the Emergency steering warning light () and the Master warning light () will appear on the cluster.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist should operate properly when you remove foreign material (such as snow or rain) from the sensor.

If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate properly after obstruction (snow, rain or foreign material) is removed (including trailer, carrier, etc. from the rear bumper), have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING

  • Even when the warning message or warning light does not appear on the instrument cluster, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly.

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not properly operate in an area (e.g. open terrain), where there is nothing to detect, or detecting sensor is covered in foreign material after POWER ON the vehicle.

  • Even after starting the vehicle again, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not function properly when the obstruction or malfunction condition persists.

NOTE

You can check the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist status in the service message of the utility information view of the instrument cluster display window.
