2017 KIA OPTIMA PLUG-IN HYBRID sensor

• The sensing distance while backingup is approximately 120 cm (47 in.)
when you are driving less than 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
• The sensing distance while moving forward is approximately 100 cm
(39 in.) when you are driving less
than 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closestone 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 20 km/h, the system automatically turns off.
To activate again, push the button.

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.

NOTICE
1.The warning may not sound se‐
quentially depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
2.The parking assist system may
malfunction if the vehicle bump‐
er height or sensor installation
has been modified. Any non-fac‐
tory installed equipment or ac‐
cessories may also interfere
with the sensor performance.
3.Sensor may not recognize ob‐
jects less than 30 cm from the
sensor, or it may sense an incor‐
rect distance. Use with caution.
4.When the sensor is frozen or
stained with snow or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a
soft cloth.
5.Do not push, scratch or strike
the sensor with any hard objects
that could damage the surface
of 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,
or objects located between sensors
may not be detected.
Always visually check in front and
behind the vehicle when driving. Be
sure to inform any drivers in the ve‐
hicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehicleis driven close to objects on the road,particularly pedestrians, and espe‐cially children. Be aware that someobjects may not be detected by thesensors, due to the objects distance,size or material, all of which can lim‐it the effectiveness of the sensor.Always perform a visual inspection

to make sure the vehicle is clear ofall obstructions before moving thevehicle in any direction.
Self-diagnosis
When you shift the gear to the R (Re‐
verse) 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 inter‐mittently.

NOTICE
•When searching for a parking
space, the system may not be
able to find a parking space if
there is no vehicle parked, a park‐
ing space is available after driving
by or a parking space is available
before driving by.
•The system may not operate nor‐
mally in the following conditions:
1.When the sensors are frozen
2.When the sensors are dirty
3.When it snows or rains heavily

NOTICE
Slowly drive forward maintaining the
distance of approximately 50 cm ~
150 cm (19.6 in.~59.0 in.) with the
parked vehicles. If it is not within the
distance, the system may not be
able to search for a parking space.
CAUTION
After searching for a parking spaceis completed, continue using the
