Driving your vehicle
When the front windscreen 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 Func-
tion disabled. Camera obscured' warning
message, and the (
warning lights will appear on the cluster.
The function will operate normally when
snow, rain or foreign matter is removed.
Always keep it clean.
If the function does not operate normally
after obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign
material) is removed, have the vehicle
inspected by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends visiting an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
