The rear parking assist system assists
the driver during backward movement of
the vehicle by chiming if any object issensed within a distance of 120 cm (47
in.) behind the vehicle. This system is asupplemental system and it is not intend-
ed to nor does it replace the need for
extreme care and attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the back sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without a rear parkingassist system.Operation of the rear parking assist system

The sensing distance while the rear
parking assist system is in operation is
approximately 120 cm (47 in.).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.Types of warning sound
When an object is 120 cm to 61 cm (47
in. to 23.6 in.) from the rear bumper:
Buzzer beeps intermittently
When an object is 60 cm to 31 cm (23.6 in. to 12.2 in.) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps more frequent-ly
When an object is within 30 cm (11.8 in.) of the rear bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.
Type of the warning indicator
(if equipped)
*1: It indicates the range of sensed object by each sensor. (Left, Center, Right)
❈ In case the object is between or close
to the sensors, the indicator could be
different.

✽✽
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, such as poles or
objects located between sensors may not
be detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the vehi-
cle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of 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 rear parking assist sys-tem.
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
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 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 anydirection.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle or injuries to its occu-pants due to a rear parking assist
system malfunction. Always drive
safely and cautiously.

The parking assist system assists the driver during movement of the vehicle by chim-
ing or displaying the area an obstacle is detected on the instrument cluster if anyobject is sensed within the distance of 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 parking assist system.SSSSeeeennnnssssoooorrrrssssSSSSeeeennnnssssoooorrrrssss
