Driving your vehicle
✽
✽NOTICE
If you don’t hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds intermit-
tently when shifting the gear to “R” posi-
tion, this may indicate a malfunction in
the rear parking assist system. If this
occurs, have your vehicle checked by an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
CAUTION
1. The rear parking assist system
may not sound sequentiallydepending on the speed andshapes of the objects detected.
2. The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehiclebumper height or sensor installa-tion has been modified or dam-aged. Any non-factory installedequipment or accessories mayalso interfere with the sensor per- formance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)from the sensor, or it may sensean incorrect distance. Use cau-tion.
4. When sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, sensormay be inoperative until thestains are removed using a softcloth.
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage couldoccur.WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehi-
cle is driven close to objects on the
road, particularly pedestrians,
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 visu-
al inspection to make sure the vehi-
cle is clear of all obstructions
before moving the vehicle in any
direction.
CAUTION
This system can only sense objectswithin the range and location of the sensors; It can not detect objects inother areas where sensors are not installed. Also, small or slimobjects, such as poles or objects located between sensors may notbe detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind thevehicle when driving back up.
Be sure to inform any drivers in thevehicle that may be unfamiliar withthe system regarding the systemscapabilities and limitations.
Your new vehicle warranty does notcover any accidents or damage to the vehicle or its occupants due torear parking assist system malfunc-tion. Always drive safely and cau-tiously.
