Driver assistance system
The ultrasonic sensor is a sensor that
detects objects around the vehicle. The
Parking Distance Warning may be tem-
porarily limited or may not operate if
snow, rain, foreign substances, etc. get
on the sensor. You can check the detec-
tion sensor blind warning target (ultra-
sonic sensor) in the service message of
the utility information view in the cluster
display window.
Parking Distance Warning will work nor-
mally if you remove the contamination
from the recognition sensor. Always
keep it clean.
If it still does not work properly even
after you have removed the contamina-
tion, we recommend you visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
