Warning message and warning
light
ODEEV058202R
When the sensor cover is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, the FCA
operation may temporarily stop. In
this case, the warning message
appears to warn the driver.
This is not a malfunction with the
FCA. To operate the FCA again,
remove the foreign substances.
The FCA may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any substances are not detected
after turning ON the vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system may not acti-
vate without any warning
messeges according to driving
condition, traffic on the road,
weather, road condition, etc.
Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor
arbitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper
area clean.
• Use only soft clothes to wash the
vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the system may not
normally operate even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by
a professional workshop. Kia rec-
ommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor
cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover.
