When foreign material (such as snow or rain) covers the windshield where the front view camera is located, the front radar cover, the bumper, or the sensor, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs, a warning message, the Forward Safety warning light (
), the Emergency Steering warning light (
), and the Master warning light (
) display on the instrument 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 still does not operate properly after you remove foreign material (such as snow or rain) from the sensor or obstructions (such as a trailer or carrier) from the rear bumper, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
-
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 operate properly in an area (such as, open terrain) where any objects are not detected right after you turn ON the vehicle, or when the detection sensor is blocked with foreign material right after you turn ON the vehicle.
-
If the system is in a blocked or malfunctioning state, turning the engine off and on may not resolve the issue, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may still not operate properly.
You can check the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist status in the service message of the utility information view of the instrument cluster display window.
