Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction
When Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist is not working properly, the 'Check Blind-Spot Safety system' warning message will appear on the cluster, and the function will turn off automatically or the function will be limited. We recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
When the side view mirror warning light is not working properly, the 'Check side view mirror warning light' warning message will appear on the cluster. We recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled
When the rear bumper around the rear corner radar or sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, or installing a trailer or carrier, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs, the 'Blind-Spot Safety Function disabled. Radar blocked' warning message will appear on the cluster.
The function will operate normally when such foreign material or trailer, etc. is removed, and then the engine is restarted.
If the function does not operate normally after it is removed, we recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
