The parking assist system assists the
driver during movement of the vehicle by
chiming or displaying the area an obsta-
cle is detected on the instrument cluster
if any object is sensed within the distanceof 100 cm (39.4 in.) in front and 120 cm
(47 in.) behind the vehicle. This system is a supplemental system and it is not intended to nor does it
replace the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are limited.
Whenever moving pay as much attention
to what is in front and behind of you as
you would in a vehicle without a parkingassist system. Operation of the parking assist system

• This system activates when the park-
ing assist system button is pressed
with the ignition switch ON.

you drive above 40 km/h(24.8 mph).
• If the vehicle speed is above 10km/h (6.2 mph), the parking assist system
will not operate.
• The sensing distance while moving for- ward is approximately 100 cm (39.4 in.)
when you are driving less than 10 km/h(6.2 mph).
• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.
✽NOTICE
It may not operate if it’s distance from
the object is already less than approxi-
mately 25 cm when the system is ON.
✽NOTICE
• The actual warning sound and indicator may differ from the illustration accord- ing to objects or sensor status.
• Do not wash the vehicle's sensor with high pressure water.

Non-operational conditions of parking assist system
Parking assist system may not oper-
ate normally when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when moisture
melts.)
2. Sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or the sensor
cover is blocked. (It will operate nor-
mally when the material is removed or
the sensor is no longer blocked.)
3. Sensor is stained with foreign matter such as snow or water. (Sensing range
will return to normal when removed.)
4.The parking assist button is off.
There is a possibility of parking assist system malfunction when:
1. Driving on uneven road surfaces such as unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, or
gradient.
2. Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes can inter-
fere with the sensor.
3. Heavy rain or water spray.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones present near the sensor.
5. Sensor is covered with snow.
Detecting range may decrease when:
1. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
2. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m and narrower than 14 cm in diameter.
The following objects may not be rec-
ognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects, which tend to absorb sensor frequency such as clothes, spongy
material or snow.
CAUTION
• This system can only sense
objects within the range and loca-tion of the sensors;
It can not detect objects in otherareas 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 backing up.
• Be sure to inform any drivers of the vehicle that may be unfamiliarwith the system regarding the systems capabilities and limita-
tions.

✽NOTICE
1. The warning may not sound sequen- tially depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
2. The parking assist system may mal- function if the vehicle bumper height
or sensor installation has been modi-
fied. Any non-factory installed equip-
ment or accessories may also interfere
with the sensor performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects less
than 30 cm from the sensor, or it may
sense an incorrect distance. Use with
caution.
4. When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow or water, the sensor may be
inoperative until the stains are
removed using a soft cloth.
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the sen-
sor with any hard objects that could
damage the surface of the sensor.
Sensor damage could occur.✽NOTICE
This system can only sense objects with-
in 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, or objects located
between sensors may not be detected.
Always visually check in front and
behind the vehicle when driving.
Be sure to inform any drivers in the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the
system regarding the systems capabili-
ties and limitations.Self-diagnosis
When you shift the gear to the R
(Reverse) position and if one or more of
the below occurs you may have a mal-
function in the parking assist system.
• You don't hear an audible warning sound or if the buzzer sounds intermit-
tently.
If this occurs, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle or injuries to its occu- pants related to a parking assist
system. Always drive safely and
cautiously.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehi-
cle 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 objects
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.

The Smart Parking Assist System helps
drivers park their vehicle by using sen-
sors to measure parallel parking spaces,
control the steering wheel to semi-auto-
matically park the car and provide
instruction on the LCD display to help
through parking.
✽NOTICE
• The vehicle will not stop for pedestri- ans or objects that may be in its path,
so the driver must monitor the
maneuver.
• Use the system only in parking lots
and places used for parking.
• The system does not work if there is no car parked in front of the parking
space you are planning to park or if it
is a diagonal parking space.
• After parking your vehicle using the
system, the vehicle may not be parked
at the exact spot you have wished. For
example, the space between your vehi-
cle and wall may not be the distance
you have desired.
• Deactivate the system and park your vehicle manually, when the situation
requires parking manually.
• The Parking Assist System's front and
rear warning sound activates when
the Smart Parking Assist System is
activated.
• After searching for a parking space is completed, the Smart Parking Assist
System will be canceled if the Parking
Assist System is cancelled by pressing
the button to the OFF position.
SMART PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (SPAS) (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING
• The Smart Parking Assist System should only be considered as a
supplementary function. The driv-
er must check the front and rear
view for objects. The operational
function of the Smart Parking
Assist System can be affected by
many factors and conditions of the
surroundings, so the responsibili-
ty rests always with the driver.
• The system may not operate nor- mally if the vehicle needs wheel
alignment adjustment. Have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
• If you use a different tire or wheel size rather than the size recom-
mended by the Kia dealer, the sys-
tem may not work properly. Always
use the same size tire and wheel.
• If you use additional frame on license plate then SPAS may gen- erate abnormal warning sound.

operation or the system may cancel
if the road is slippery while parking.
Also, if the driver is unfamiliar with
applying the accelerator and brake
pedal, a car accident may occur.(Continued)(Continued)
3. Parking in narrow space
