Features of your vehicle
WARNING
• The Smart Parking Assist System
should only be considered as a
supplementary function. The driv‐
er must check the front and rear
view for objects. The operational
function of the Smart Parking As‐
sist System can be affected by
many factors and conditions of the
surroundings, so the responsibility
rests always with the driver.
• The system may not operate nor‐
mally if the vehicle needs wheel
alignment adjustment. Have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
• If you use a different tire or wheel
size rather than the size recom‐
mended by the Kia dealer, the sys‐
tem may not work properly. Al‐
ways use the same size tire and
wheel.
• If you use additional frame on the
license plate, SPAS may generate
abnormal warning sound.
