WARNING
僅 Always pay extreme caution while
driving. The driver is responsible for
controlling the brake for safe driving.
僅 Always pay attention to road and traf-
fic conditions while driving, whether
or not there is a warning.
僅 Always look around your vehicle to
make sure there are no pedestrians or
objects before moving the vehicle.
僅 The performance of Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist may vary
under certain conditions. If vehicle
speed is above 2 mph (4 km/h),
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist will provide collision avoidance
assist only when pedestrians are
detected. Always look around and pay
attention when Reversing your vehi-
cle.
僅 Some objects may not be detected by
the rear ultrasonic sensors due to the
objects distance, size or material, all of
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist (PCA)
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor.
僅 Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate properly or
may operate unnecessarily depending
on the road conditions and the sur-
roundings.
僅 Do not solely rely on Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist. Doing so
may lead to vehicle damage or inju-
ries.
僅 Always keep the rear view camera
and rear ultrasonic sensors clean.
僅 Do not use any cleanser containing
acid or alkaline detergents when
cleaning the rear view camera lens.
Use only a mild soap or neutral deter-
gent, and rinse thoroughly with water.
僅 Do not spray the rear view camera or
the rear ultrasonic sensors or their
surrounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. It may cause the
rear view camera or the rear ultra-
sonic sensors to malfunction.
僅 Do not apply objects, such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper guard,
near the rear view camera or rear
ultrasonic sensors or apply paint to
the bumper. Doing so may adversely
affect the performance of Reverse
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist.
僅 Never disassemble or apply impact on
the rear view camera or the rear ultra-
sonic sensors components.
僅 Do not apply unnecessary force on
the rear view camera or the rear ultra-
sonic sensors. Reverse Parking Colli-
sion-Avoidance Assist may not
operate properly if the rear view cam-
era or the rear ultrasonic sensor(s) is
forcibly moved out of proper align-
ment. Kia recommends visiting an
authorized Kia dealer.
