Driving your vehicle
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris,
Smart Cruise Control operation may
stop temporarily. If this occurs, a
warning message will appear on the
LCD display. Remove any dirt, snow,
or debris and clean the radar sensor
lens cover before operating Smart
Cruise Control.
Smart Cruise Control may not prop -
erly activate, if the radar is totally
contaminated, or if any substance is
not detected after turning ON the
engine (e.g. in an open terrain).
NOTICE
For SCC operation is temporarily
stopped if the radar is blocked, but
you wish to use cruise control mode
(speed control function), you must
convert to the cruise control mode
(refer to "To convert to Cruise Con -
trol mode" on page 6-168.
WARNING
Do not apply license plate frame
or foreign objects such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper guard
near the radar sensor. Doing so
may adversely affect the sensing
performance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor and
lens cover clean and free of dirt
and debris.
Smart Cruise Control (SCC)
Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unneces -
sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is forc -
ibly moved out of proper align -
ment, Smart Cruise Control may
not operate correctly. In this case,
a warning message may not be
displayed. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, Smart Cruise Con -
trol may not operate properly. We
recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
Use only Kia parts to repair or
replace a damaged sensor or sen -
sor cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.
