Driving your vehicle
When the front windshield where the
front view camera is located, is covered
with foreign material, such as snow or
rain, it can reduce the detecting perfor-
mance and temporarily limit or disable
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs, the 'Forward Safety system
disabled. Camera obscured' warning
message will appear (turns off after a
certain time), and the
warning lights will illuminate on the clus-
ter.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will
operate properly when snow, rain or for-
eign matter is removed. Always keep it
clean.
If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate properly after obstruc-
tion (snow, rain, or foreign material) is
removed, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
