The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert
the driver.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides and indication
to the driver. (1) BSD (Blind spot detection)
The warning range depends onyour vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle is about 10 km/h (6
mph) faster than the other vehi-
cle, the system will not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane change assist)
If the system detects a vehicle
approaching you at high speed,
the system will warn you.
(3) RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
If the sensor detects an
approaching vehicle from the left
and right side as your vehicle
moves rearward, the system will
warn you.

WARNING
Always check the road condi- tion while driving for unex-
pected situations even thoughthe Blind Spot DetectionSystem (BSD) is operating.
The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) is a system
made for convenience. Do not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention to drive
safely.
The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe lane
changing procedures. Always
drive safely and use caution
when changing lanes. TheBlind Spot Detection System
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.

Detecting sensor
The sensors are located inside of the
rear bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for the system to work properly.
Warning message
The message will appear to notify
the driver if there are foreign sub-
stances on the rear bumper or it is
hot near the rear bumper. The light
on the switch and the system will
turn off automatically.
Remove the foreign matter on the
rear bumper.
If the system does not work normally
even though the foreign matter is
removed, we recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.If the system does not work properly,
a warning message will appear and
the light on the switch will turn off. The
system will turn off automatically.
We recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.

RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves backwards
from a parking position, the sensor
detects approaching vehicles to the
left or right side direction and gives
information to the driver.Operating conditions
The indicator on the switch will llu-
minate when the Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) switch is
pressed with the Engine Start/StopButton ON.
The system will turn on and stand-
by to activate The system operates when the
vehicle speed is below about 6.2
mph (10 km/h) with the shift lever
in R (Reverse).
The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) detecting range is about0.5m ~ 20m based on the side
direction. However, the system
sensing range is different base on
conditions. Always pay attention tothe surrounding.

Non-operating condition
Driver's Attention
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations for the system may
not assist the driver and may not
work properly.
- Curved roads, tollgates, etc.
- The surrounding of the sensor is
polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc
- The rear bumper near the sensor is covered or hidden with a foreign
matter such as a sticker, bumperguard, bicycle stand etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged or the sensor is out of place.
- The height of the vehicle is altered such as when the trunk is loaded
with heavy objects, or there is lowtire pressure etc.
- Bad weather such as heavy rain or snow.
- A fixed object is near such as a guardrail, tunnel, human and ani-mal etc.
CAUTION
The system may not work prop-
erly if the bumper has beenreplaced or if repair work has been done near the sensor.
The detection area differs according to the roads width.If the road is narrow the sys-tem may detect other vehicles in the next lane.
in addition, if the road is very wide the system may notdetect other vehicles.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
(Continued)
The Blind Spot DetectionSystem (BSD) and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) are not a
substitute for proper and safe
driving. Always drive safely
and use caution when chang-
ing lanes or backing the vehi-
cles up. The Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) may
not detect every object along-
side the vehicle.

Driving your vehicle
- Metal substances are near thevehicles such as in a construction area.
- A big vehicle is near such as a bus or truck.
- A motorcycle or bicycle is near.
- A flat trailer like vehicle is near.
- If the vehicle has started at the same time as the vehicle next to it
and has accelerated.
- When the other vehicle passes by very fast.
- When changing lanes.
- When going down or up a steep road where the height of the lane is
different.
- When the other vehicle drives at the rear very nearby or drives very
close.
- When a trailer or carrier is installed.
- When the temperature of the rear bumper is high.
- When the sensors are covered by the vehicle, wall or a pillar of park- ing lot. - When your vehicle is backing up, if
the detected vehicle approaches
your vehicle or also backs up.
- Small objects like shopping carts and baby carriages.
- If there is a vehicle with decreased ride height (lowered).
- When the vehicle is close to anoth- er vehicle.
- When the vehicle in the next lane moves two lanes away from my
vehicle OR when the vehicle two
lanes away moves to the next lane
from my vehicle.Outside rearview mirror may not
alert the driver when:
- The outside rearview mirror hous- ing is damaged or covered with
debris.
- The window is covered with debris.
- The windows are severely tinted.

If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehicle’splacard or tire inflation pressure label
located on the driver’s side center pil-
lar outer panel. If you cannot reach a
service station or if the tire cannot
hold the newly added air, replace the
low pressure tire with a spare tire.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replaceing the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the below willhappen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-ously illuminated because theTPMS sensor is not mounted onthe spare wheel.
✽✽ NOTICE
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure sensor.
WARNING - Low
pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased brakingdistances.
Continued driving on low pres- sure tires can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the low tire pressure telltale may illumi-nate if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommendedtire inflation pressure in warmweather. It does not mean your TPMS is malfunctioning becausethe decreased temperature leadsto a lowering of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle froma warm area to a cold area or from a cold area to a warm area,or the outside temperature ishigher or lower, you shouldcheck the tire inflation pressure and adjust the tires to the recom-mended tire inflation pressure.

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. We recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer. Each wheel is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you have your tires
serviced by an authorized Kia dealer. If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replaceing the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the below willhappen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-ously illuminated because theTPMS sensor is not mounted onthe spare wheel. You may not be able identify a low
tire by simply looking at it. Alwaysuse a good quality tire pressuregauge to measure the tire's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tire that
is hot (from being driven) will have ahigher pressure measurement than atire that is cold (from sitting station-
ary for at least 3 hours and driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) during that
3 hour period).
Allow the tire to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven forless than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
CAUTION
If you use a puncture-repairing
agent to repair and/or inflate alow pressure tire. The tire sealant may damage the tire pressuresensor. We recommend that youuse the sealant approved by Kia. If used, we recommend that theTPMS be checked by an author-ized Kia dealer.
