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 pedestrians 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.

Operating conditionThe system will help park the vehicle in
the middle or back of a parked vehicle.
Use the system when all the below con-ditions are met.
When the parking space is a straight
line
When parallel parking or reverse (per- pendicular) parking is required
When there is a parked vehicle
When there is enough space to move the vehicle
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.
