Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled
A: Forward safety system disabled. Camera obscured
When the windshield where the front view camera is located, sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, or depending on the weather conditions such as fog or heavy 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 (
) and the Master warning light (
) will appear on the cluster, but it is not a failure of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will operate properly when foreign material is removed. Always keep it clean.
If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate properly after obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign material) is removed, Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
