depending on the speed and
shape of the objects detected.

may malfunction if the vehicle
bumper height or sensor installa -
tion has been modified or dam -
aged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may
also interfere with the sensor
performance.
The sensor may not recognize
objects less than 30 cm (12
inches) from the sensor, or it may
sense an incorrect distance. Use
caution.
When the sensor is frozen or cov -
ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
the material is removed using a
soft cloth.
To prevent damage, do not push,
scratch or strike the sensor.
NOTICE
This function can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; It can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not

installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be
detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the function regarding the functions
capabilities and limitations.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehicle
is driven close to objects on the
road, particularly pedestrians, and
especially children. Be aware that
some objects may not be detected
by the sensors, due to the object's
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor. Always perform a visual
inspection to make sure the vehicle
is clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direction.
Self-diagnosis
If you don't hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter -
mittently when shifting the gear to
the R (Reverse) position, this may
indicate a malfunction in Reverse
Parking Distance Warning. If this
occurs, have your vehicle checked by
an authorised Kia dealer as soon as
possible.
