Driving your vehicle
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 tempo-
rarily limit or disable Safe Exit Assist.
If this occurs, the 'Blind-Spot Safety sys-
tem(s) 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, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
