tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver.

Parking assist system
Never rely solely on the parking
assist system. Always perform
a visual inspection to make
sure the vehicle is clear of all
obstructions before moving the
vehicle in any direction. Stop
immediately if you are aware of
a child anywhere near your
vehicle. Some objects may not
be detected by the sensors, due
to the object's size or material.

✽NOTICE
1.The warning may not sound
sequentially depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
2. The parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has
been modified. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects less than 12 in (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
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the system’s
capabilities and limitations.
Self-diagnosis
If you don’t hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently when shifting the shift lever
into the R (Reverse) position, this
may indicate a malfunction in the
parking assist system. If this occurs,
have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.
✽NOTICE
Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle or injuries to its occu-
pants related to a parking assist sys-
tem. Always drive safely and cau-
tiously.

Backing up & using camera
Never rely solely on the rear
view camera when backing. You
must always use methods of
viewing the area behind you
including looking over both
shoulders as well as continu-
ously checking all three rear
view mirrors. Due to the difficul-
ty of ensuring that the area
behind you remains clear,
always back slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.
