Non-operational conditions of rear parking assist system The rear parking assist system
may not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It
will operate normally when the moisture has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes)
are within range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the
sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing The detecting range may decrease when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in height and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.
✽✽ NOTICE
The indicator may differ from the
illustration as objects or sensors sta-
tus.
If the indicator blinks, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
When an object is 120 cm
to 60 cm (47 in. to 24 in.)
from the rear bumper:
Buzzer beeps intermittently. When an object is 60 cm to
30 cm (24 in. to 12 in.) from
the rear bumper:
Buzzer beeps more frequently. When an object is within 30 cm (12 in.) of the rear
bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.

Rear parking assist system precautions
The rear parking assist systemmay not sound consistently depending on the speed andshapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumperheight or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a softcloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.✽✽ NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within 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
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.WARNING
Pay close attention when the
vehicle 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 effective-
ness of the sensor. Always per-
form a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving
the vehicle in any direction.

Self-diagnosis
If you don’t hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-mittently when shifting the gear to the
R (Reverse) position, this may indi-
cate a malfunction in the rear parking
assist system. If this occurs, we rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries toits occupants due to a rearparking assist system malfunc-
tion. Always drive safely and
cautiously.

Features of your vehicle
The parking assist system assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object issensed within the distance of 100 cm(39 in.) in front and 120 cm (47 in.)
behind the vehicle.This system is a supplemental sys-tem 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 limit-
ed. Whenever moving pay as muchattention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking assist system.
Operation of the parking assist system
Operating condition
This system activates when the
parking assist system button is
pressed with the ignition switch ON.
The indicator of the parking assist system button turns on automati-
cally and activates the parking
assist system when you shift the
gear to the R (Reverse) position. It
will turn off automatically when you
drive above 20 km/h (12.4 mph).
PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The parking assist system
should only be considered as a
supplementary function. The
driver must check the front and
rear view. The operational func-tion of the parking assist system
can be affected by many factors
and conditions of the surround-
ings, so the responsibility rests
always with the driver.

The sensing distance while backing
up is approximately 120 cm (47 in.)
when you are driving less than 10km/h (6.2 mph).
The sensing distance while moving forward is approximately 100 cm
(39 in.) when you are driving lessthan 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
The side sensors are activated when you shift the gear to the R
(Reverse) position.
If the vehicle speed is above 20km/h, the system automatically
turns off. To activate again, push
the button.
✽✽ NOTICE
It may not operate if it’s distance
from the object is already less than
approximately 25 cm when the sys-
tem is ON.
Type of warning indicator and sound

 The actual warning sound and indicator may differ from the illustration according to objects or sensor status.
 Do not wash the vehicle's sensor with high pressure water.

the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)

(Sensing range will return to nor-
mal when removed.)
4.The parking assist button is off.

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 interfere with the sen-
sor.
3. Heavy rain or water spray.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones present near the sensor.
5. Sensor is covered with snow.
CAUTION
This system can only sense objects within the range andlocation of the sensors;
It can not detect objects inother areas where sensors arenot installed. Also, small orslim objects, such as poles or objects located between sen-sors may not be detected bythe sensors.
