CAUTION
•This system can only sense objects within the range and location of the sensors.It cannot detect objects in other areas where sensors are not installed. Also, small or slim objects, such as poles or ob‐jects 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 capabilitiesand limitations.

Non-operational conditions of
parking assist system
Parking assist system may not
operate normally when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (Itwill operate normally when mois‐
ture melts.)
2. Sensor is covered with foreign mat‐ ter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked. (It will op‐
erate normally when the material
is removed or the sensor is no lon‐
ger blocked.)
3. The parking assist button is off.
There is a possibility of parking
assist system malfunction when:
1. Driving on uneven road surfaces such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
2. Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud motor‐
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
3. Heavy rain or water spray.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones present near the sensor.
5. Sensor is covered with snow.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
1. Outside air temperature is ex‐ tremely hot or cold. 2. Undetectable objects smaller than
1 m and narrower than 14 cm in di‐
ameter.
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 sen‐ sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.

• Inclined roads
• A vehicle loaded with longer or widercargo compared to the vehicle
• Diagonal parking space
• Heavy snow or rain
• Near a circular pillar or narrow pillar, or a pillar surrounded by objects suchas fire extinguisher, etc.
• The sensor is positioned incorrectly by an impact to the bumper
• Bumpy roads
• A vehicle equipped with a snow chain or spare tire
• Tire pressure lower or higher than the standard tire pressure
• A trailer connected to the vehicle
• Slippery or uneven road
• Big vehicles such as buses or trucks parked

• A obstacle such as a trash can, bicy‐ cle, shopping cart, etc. is near
• Heavy wind • Wheel changed to an unauthorized
size
• A problem with the wheel alignment
• An accessory installed on the detec‐ tive area the of sensors (such as
number plate holder)
• Vehicle leaned severely to one side
• Strong sunlight or very cold weather
• Ultrasonic interference from other vehicle's. Such as horn sounds of oth‐
er vehicles, motorcycle's engine noise,
air brake noise of heavy vehicles and
with the other vehicle's parking assist
system working.

CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM

System operation
Ventilation
1. Set the mode to the position.
2. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
Heating
1. Set the mode to the position.
2. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
5. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn the air conditioning system (if
equipped) on.
Operation tips
• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from entering the vehicle through the
ventilation system, temporarily set
the air intake control to the recircula‐
ted air position. Be sure to return the control to the fresh air position when
the irritation has passed to keep
fresh air in the vehicle. This will help
keep the driver alert and comforta‐
ble.
• Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just
ahead of the windshield. Care should
be taken that these are not blocked
by leaves, snow, ice or other obstruc‐
tions.
• To prevent interior fog on the wind‐ shield, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed
to the desired position, turn on the
air conditioning system, and adjust the temperature control to desired
temperature.
• If the windshield fogs up, set the mode to the
or position.
CAUTION
Operating the blower when the igni‐tion switch is in the ON positioncould cause the battery to discharge.Operate the blower when the engineis running.
Air conditioning
Kia air conditioning systems are filled
with R-134a or R-1234yf refrigerant. 1. Start the hybrid system. Push the air conditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the
position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside air or recirculated air posi‐
tion.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
Features of your vehicle
5-132

Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or
R-1234yf according to the regulation in your country at the time of production.
You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied to your vehicle on the label located inside of the hood. Re‐
fer to L

Climate control air filter
06.-
A: Outside air
B: Recirculated air
C: Climate control air filter
D: Blower
E: Evaporator core
F: Heater core The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or other pollutants that come into the ve‐
hicle from the outside through the
heating and air conditioning system.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate in the filter over a period of time, the
air flow from the air vents may de‐
crease, resulting in moisture accumula‐ tion on the inside of the windshield
even when the outside (fresh) air posi‐
tion is selected. If this happens, we rec‐ ommend that the climate control air fil‐
ter be replaced by an authorized Kia
dealer.NOTICE
•Replace the filter according to the

from the illustration. Each symbol and specification on air
conditioning refrigerant label means as
below: 1. Classification of refrigerant
2. Amount of refrigerant
3. Classification of compressor lubri‐ cant
