2017 KIA CARENS RHD sensor

497
Features of your vehicle
This system will activate whenbacking up with the ignition switch ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system
may not be activated correctly.
The sensing distance whilst 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 clos-
est 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 fre-quently
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,
Centre, Right)
❈ In case the object is between or
close to the sensors, the indicator
could be different. 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. 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.) and narrower than 14
cm (6 in.) in diameter. Rear parking assist system precautions
The rear parking assist system
may not sound sequentially 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 30 cm (11.8 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.

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
malfunction in the rear parking assistsystem.
You don't hear an audible warningsound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently.
- Type A
- Type B
If this occurs, we recommend that
the system be checked by an autho-
rised Kia dealer.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.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 chiming or displaying thearea an obstacle is detected on the
instrument cluster if any object issensed within the distance of 100 cm(39.4 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 limited.
Whenever moving pay as much attention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking assist system.
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 Smart Parking Assist System
helps drivers park their vehicle by
using sensors to measure parallel
parking spaces, control the steering
wheel to semi-automatically park the
vehicle and provide instruction on
the LCD display to help through
parking.
✽✽
NOTICE
 The vehicle will not stop for pedes- trians or objects that may be in its
path, so the driver must monitor
the manoeuvre.
 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 park-
ing 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 vehicle and wall may
not be the distance you have desired.
 Deactivate the system and park your vehicle manually, when the sit-
uation 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 can-
celled if the Parking Assist System
is cancelled by pressing the button
to the OFF position.

WARNING
The Smart Parking Assist System should only be consid-
ered as a supplementary func-
tion. The driver must check the
front and rear view for objects.The operational function of the
Smart Parking Assist System
can be affected by many fac-
tors and conditions of the sur-
roundings, so the responsibili-
ty rests always with the driver.
The system may not operate normally if the vehicle needswheel alignment adjustment.
Have the vehicle checked by
an authorised Kia dealer.
If you use a different tyre or wheel size rather than the size
recommended by the Kia
dealer, the system may not
work properly. Always use the
same size tyre and wheel.
If you use additional frame on license plate then SPAS may
generate abnormal warningsound.
