Features of your vehicle
vehicle bumper height or sensor
installation has been modified or
damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accesso-
ries may also interfere with the
sensor performance.
When the sensor is frozen or cov-
ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
the material is removed using a
soft cloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the
ultrasonic sensor. Sensor damage
could occur.
Do not spray the ultrasonic sen-
sors or its surrounding area
directly with a high pressure
washer.
NOTICE
Make sure that high pressure is not
directly applied to the surface of the
ultrasonic sensor while using use
high-pressure car washes.
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; It can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be
detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW)
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehicle
is driven close to objects on the
road, particularly pedestrians, and
especially children. Be aware that
some objects may not be detected
by the sensors, due to the object's
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor. Always perform a visual
inspection to make sure the vehicle
is clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direction.
System malfunction
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
has a self-diagnosis function that
can determine whether the ultra-
sonic sensor is working properly.
After starting the engine, a beep will
sound when the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse) to indicate the system is
operating normally.
However, if one or more of the fol-
lowing occurs, first check whether
the ultrasonic senior is damaged or
whether the system is in a non-
operating condition. If it still does
not work properly, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
