Safe Exit Assist disabled

When the rear bumper around the rear corner radar or sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, or when a trailer or carrier is installed, or when the twin swing tailgate is opened, the detecting performance may be reduced, which can temporarily limit or disable Safe Exit Assist.

OSW055019L

(A): Driver Assistance system limited. Radar blocked.

At this time, the warning message and master warning light () are displayed on the cluster display, but it does not indicate a malfunction of Safe Exit Assist.

Safe Exit Assist will operate properly when such foreign material or trailer, etc., is removed, and then the vehicle is restarted.

If Safe Exit Assist does not operate properly after it is removed, have the vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING

  • Even though the warning message does not appear on the cluster, Safe Exit Assist may not properly operate.

  • Safe Exit Assist may not properly operate in an area (for example, open terrain) where any objects are not detected right after the vehicle is turned on, or when the detecting sensor is blocked with foreign material right after the vehicle is turned on.

NOTE

You can check it in the service message of the utility information view of the cluster display window.

CAUTION

Turn off Safe Exit Assist to install or remove a trailer, carrier, or another attachment. Turn on Safe Exit Assist when finished.
