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.

surroundings, so the responsibility
rests always with the driver.

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

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.
