CAUTION
• Do not install accessories
around the sensor and do not
replace the bumper by your-
self. It may interfere with the
sensor performance.
• Always keep the sensor and
bumper clean.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash
the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unnec-
OJF058406L
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the Smart
Cruise Control System may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed.
Have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.

• Do not damage the sensor or
sensor area by a strong
impact. If the sensor moves
slightly off position, the smart
cruise control system will not
operate correctly without any
warning or indicator from the
cluster. If this occurs, take
your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.
• Use only a genuine Kia sensor
cover for your vehicle. Do not
paint anything on the sensor
cover.
• If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around
the radar sensor, the Smart
Cruise Control System may
not operate properly.
