Driving your vehicle
Front camera
The front camera is a sensor detect-
ing the lane. If the sensor is covered
with snow, rain or foreign substance,
the system may temporarily be can-
celled and not work properly until the
cancellation due to the degradation
of the sensor's detection perform-
ance. Always keep the sensor clean.
* Refer to Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
System for cautions for the front
camera sensor.
Rear radar
The rear radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side/rear areas. Always keep the
rear bumper clean for proper opera-
tion of the system.

CAUTION
• The system may not work
properly when the bumper has
been damaged, or if the rear
bumper has been replaced or
repaired.
• The sensing range differs some-
what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane.
• The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
• Always keep the sensors clean.
• NEVER arbitrarily disassem-
ble the sensor component nor
apply any impact on the sen-
sor component.
• Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the system
may not operate correctly. In
this case, a warning message
may not be displayed.

Kia recommend that you have
your vehicle inspected by an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
• Do not apply foreign objects
such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor or apply paint to the
sensor area. Doing so may
adversely affect the perform-
ance of the sensor.
• NEVER install any acces-
sories or stickers on the front
windscreen, nor tint the front
windscreen.
• Pay extreme caution to keep
the camera sensor out of water.
• NEVER locate any reflective
objects (i.e. white paper, mir-
ror) over the crash pad. Any
light reflection may cause a
malfunction of the system.
