WARNING
僅 Always pay extreme caution while driving. The driver is responsible for controlling the
brake for safe driving.
僅 Always look around your vehicle to make sure there are no pedestrians or objects
before moving the vehicle.
僅 The performance of Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may vary under certain condi-
tions. If vehicle speed is above 4 km/h (2 mph), Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist will
provide collision avoidance assistance only when pedestrians are detected. Always look
around and pay attention when driving your vehicle.
僅 Some objects may not be detected by the rear ultrasonic sensors due to the objects dis-
tance, size, or material, all of which can limit the effectiveness of the sensor.
僅 Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly or may operate unneces-
sarily depending on the road conditions and the surroundings.
僅 Do not solely rely on Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist. Doing so may lead to vehicle
damage or injuries.
僅 Always keep the wide angle cameras and ultrasonic sensors clean.
僅 Do not use any cleanser containing acid or alkaline detergents when cleaning the cam-
era lens. Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse thoroughly with water.
僅 Do not spray the wide angle cameras or the rear ultrasonic sensors or their surrounding
area directly with a high pressure washer. It may cause the wide angle cameras or the
ultrasonic sensors to malfunction.
僅 Do not apply objects, such as a bumper sticker or a bumper guard, near the wide angle
cameras or ultrasonic sensors or apply paint to the bumper. Doing so may adversely
affect the performance of Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist.
僅 Never disassemble or apply impact on the wide angle cameras or the components of
the ultrasonic sensor.
僅 Do not apply unnecessary force on the wide angle cameras or the ultrasonic sensors.
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly if the wide angle cameras
or the ultrasonic sensor(s) is forcibly moved out of proper alignment. Kia recommends
that you visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
僅 Noise may be heard when sudden braking occurs to avoid a collision.
僅 If any other warning sound such as the seat belt warning chime is already generated,
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist warning may not sound.
僅 Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not work properly if the bumper has been dam-
aged, replaced or repaired.
僅 Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly if interfered by strong elec-
tromagnetic waves.
僅 Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent passengers from hearing
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist warning sounds.
僅 The brake control may not operate properly depending on the status of ESC (Electronic
Stability Control).
There will only be a warning when:
- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light is on
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is engaged in a different function
