Safe Exit Assist disabled

When foreign material (such as snow or rain) covers the rear bumper near the rear corner radar or sensor, or when you install a trailer or carrier, it can reduce the detection performance and temporarily limit or disable Safe Exit Assist.

OCL4M055098N
  1. Driver Assistance system limited. Radar blocked.

A warning message and the Master warning light () display on the instrument cluster. This does not indicate a malfunction of Safe Exit Assist.

Safe Exit Assist operates properly when you remove foreign material (such as snow or rain) from the sensor and restart the vehicle. Always keep it clean.

If Safe Exit Assist still does not operate properly after you remove foreign material (such as snow or rain) from the sensor, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING
  • Even if a detection sensor warning message is not displayed or the warning light does not turn on temporarily, Safe Exit Assist may not operate properly.

  • Safe Exit Assist may not operate properly in open terrain where no objects are detected, or when the detection sensor is blocked with foreign material immediately after you turn the vehicle ON.

TIP

You can check the Safe Exit Assist status in the service message of the utility information view of the instrument cluster display window.

TIP

Turn Safe Exit Assist OFF to install or remove a trailer, carrier, or other attachment. Turn Safe Exit Assist back ON when you are finished.
