2017 KIA OPTIMA PLUG-IN HYBRID brake sensor

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.

8.Leaving a parking space near awallWhen leaving a parking spacethat is narrow and near a wall,the system may not work prop‐erly. When leaving a parkingspace similar to the above pic‐ture, the driver must watch outfor obstacles while leaving.
How the system works (Parking
Mode)
1. Activate the Smart Parking AssistSystem
The shift lever should be placed in
D (Drive), N (Neutral, above
5 km/h). 2. Select parking mode
3. (Optional) Search for parking space
(slowly move forward.)

5. Steering wheel control 1. Shift according to the instructionon the LCD display.
2. Drive slowly with the brake pedal applied.
6. Parking complete
7. If necessary, manually adjust posi‐ tion of vehicle.
If the system already recognized park‐ ing space before activating the Smart
Parking Assist System, you can proceed
from step 4 (Search complete).
NOTICE
•Before activating the system
check if the conditions are possible
to use the system.
•For your safety, always apply the
brake pedal except for when driv‐
ing.
1. Activate Smart Parking Assist
System
0+'-
• Press the Smart Parking Assist Sys‐ tem button (the button indicator will
illuminate).
• The Parking Assist System will be ac‐ tivated.
A warning sound will be heard if an
obstacle is detected.
• Press the Smart Parking Assist Sys‐ tem button
again for more than 2
seconds to turn off the system.
• The Smart Parking Assist System de‐ faults to the OFF position whenever
the ignition switch is turned on.

• The above message will appear if theshift lever is in D (Drive) or R (Re‐
verse) according to the distance of the front and rear object from the
sensor.
The steering wheel will be controlled
automatically.
• The system will be cancelled if you firmly hold the steering wheel while it
is controlled automatically.
• The system will be cancelled if vehicle speed is over 7 km/h (4.3 mph).
WARNING
Do not put your hands between thesteering wheel while it is being auto‐matically controlled.
To cancel the system while exiting
Press the Parking Assist System or
Smart Parking Assist System button.
CAUTION
Always drive slowly with the brakepedal applied.

When assisting the driver exit the park‐
ing space is completed the above mes‐ sage will appear.
Turn the steering wheel to the direction
you are leaving and manually control
the steering wheel while leaving the parking space.

• The AEB provides additional brakingpower for optimum braking perform‐
ance, when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharply
depresses the brake pedal, or when
the driver abruptly operates the
steering wheel.
• The braking control is automatically canceled, when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay greatcaution to vehicle operation, eventhough there is no warning messageor warning alarm.
WARNING
The AEB cannot avoid all collisions.The AEB might not completely stopthe vehicle before collision, due toambient, weather and road condi‐tions. The driver has the responsibili‐ty to drive safely and control the ve‐hicle.
WARNING
The AEB operates in accordance withthe risk levels, such as the distancefrom the vehicle/passer-by in front,the speed of the vehicle/passer-byin front, and the driver's vehicle op‐eration.
Sensor to detect the distance
from the vehicle in front (front
radar)
0+')1
The sensor is to maintain a certain dis‐
tance from the vehicle in front. Howev‐ er, the smudged sensor lens with for‐
eign substances, such as snow and rain,
adversely affects the sensing perform‐ ance. It may even temporarily cancel
the AEB. Always keep the sensor lens
clean.

Driving your vehicle

-The vehicle in front is a special vehi‐
cle, such as a heavily-loaded truck or
a trailer.
The vehicle in front does not turn ON the rear lights, does not have rear
lights, has asymmetric rear lights, or
has rear lights out of angle.
- The outside brightness is greatly
changed, such as entering/exiting the
tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recognition
is limited.
0+'
- Driving on a curve
The AEB performance decreases
while driving on a curve. The AEB
may not recognize the vehicle in front even in the same lane. It may unnec‐
essarily produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm at all.
While driving on a curve, pay great
caution, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal.
0+'
- While driving on a curve, the AEB may
recognize the vehicle in front in the
next lane. Pay great caution, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal.
Or, depress the accelerator pedal to
maintain the driving speed. Always,
take a look around the vehicle for
your safety.
0+'
- Driving on a slope
The AEB performance decreases
while driving upward or downward on
a slope, not recognizing the vehicle in front in the same lane. It may unnec‐
essarily produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm at all.
When the AEB suddenly recognizes the vehicle in front while passing over
a slope, you may experience sharp
deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal.
