A: Forward Safety systems disabled. Camera obscured
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 yellow (

) and (
) warning lights will appear on the cluster.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will operate properly when snow, rain or foreign material is removed.
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.
