Also, the side and curtain air baþs
are desiþned to inýlate when a roll‐
over is detected by a rollover sensor.
Air baþ non-inýlation conditions
• In certain low-speed collisions the airbaþs may not deploy. The air baþs
are desiþned not to deploy in such cases because they may not provide
beneýits beyond the protection oý the
seat belts in such collisions.
• Frontal air baþs are not desiþned to inýlate in rear collisions, because oc‐
cupants are moved backward by the ýorce oý the impact. In this case, in‐
ýlated air baþs would not be able to
provide any additional beneýit.• Front air baþs may not inýlate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move to the direction oý the collision, and thus in side impacts, ýrontal air
baþ deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
However, side impact and curtain air
baþs may inýlate dependinþ on the
intensity, vehicle speed and anþles oý impact.

• In an anþled collision, the ýorce oý im‐
pact may direct the occupants in a di‐
rection where the air baþs would not be able to provide any additional ben‐
eýit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air baþs.• Just beýore impact, drivers oýten brake heavily. Such heavy brakinþ

NOTICE
nWithout rollover sensor
However, side and/or curtain air
baþs may inýlate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact collision,
iý the vehicle is equipped with side
air baþs and curtain air baþs.
• Air baþs may not inýlate iý the vehiclecollides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point oý im‐ pact is concentrated to one area and
the ýull ýorce oý the impact is not de‐
livered to the sensors.
SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-ýree
and so there are no parts you can saýe‐
ly service by yourselý. Iý the SRS air baþ warninþ liþht does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, have the sys‐
tem inspected by a proýessional work‐ shop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
•Modiýication to SRS components orwirinþ, includinþ the addition oýany kind oý badþes to the pad cov‐ers or modiýications to the bodystructure, can adversely aýýectSRS perýormance and lead to pos‐sible injury.
•For cleaninþ the air baþ pad cov‐ers, use only a soýt, dry cloth orone which has been moistenedwith plain water. Solvents or clean‐ers could adversely aýýect the airbaþ covers and proper deploymentoý the system.

•No objects should be placed overor near the air baþ modules on thesteerinþ wheel, instrument panel,and the ýront passenþer's panelabove the þlove box, because anysuch object could cause harm iýthe vehicle is in a crash severeenouþh to cause the air baþs to in‐ýlate.
•Iý the air baþs inýlate, have thesystem replaced by a proýessionalworkshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wirinþ, or other componentsoý the SRS system. Doinþ so couldresult in injury, due to accidentalinýlation oý the air baþs or by ren‐derinþ the SRS inoperative.

REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The rear parkinþ assist system assists
the driver durinþ backward movement oý the vehicle by chiminþ iý any object is
sensed within a distance oý 120 cm
(47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system and it is not intended to nor does it re‐
place the need ýor extreme care and
attention oý the driver. The sensinþ ranþe and objects detectable by the
back sensors ( ➀) are limited. Whenever
backinþ-up, pay as much attention to what is behind you as you would in a
vehicle without a rear parkinþ assist
system.
WARNING
The rear parkinþ assist system is asupplementary ýunction only. Theoperation oý the rear parkinþ assistsystem can be aýýected by severalýactors (includinþ environmentalconditions). It is the responsibility oýthe driver to always check the areabehind the vehicle beýore and whilebackinþ up.
Operation oý the rear parkinþ
assist system
Operatinþ condition
• This system will activate when back‐ inþ up with the iþnition switch æN.
Iý the vehicle is movinþ at a speed
over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system may not be activated correctly.
• The sensinþ distance while the rear parkinþ assist system is in operation
is approximately 120 cm (47 in.).
• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recoþnized ýirst.
Types oý warninþ soundIndicator*
When an object is 120 cm to 61 cm(47 in . to 24 in.) ýrom the
rear bumper:Buzzer beeps intermit‐tently.
When an object is 60 cm to 31 cm
(23 in. to 12 in.) ýrom the
rear bumper:
Buzzer beeps more ýre‐quently.
When an object is within
30 cm (11 in.) oý the rearbumper:

Non-operational conditions oý
rear parkinþ assist system
The rear parkinþ assist systemmay not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is ýrozen to the sensor. (Itwill operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with ýoreiþn matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi‐
al is removed or the sensor is no
lonþer blocked.)
3. Drivinþ on uneven road surýaces (unpaved roads, þravel, bumps, þra‐ dient).
4. æbjects þeneratinþ excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcycle en‐
þines, or truck air brakes) are with‐
in ranþe oý the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists. 6. Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are within ranþe oý the
sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towinþ.
The detectinþ ranþe may decreasewhen:
1. The sensor is stained with ýoreiþn matter such as snow or water. (The
sensinþ ranþe will return to normal
when removed.)
2. æutside air temperature is ex‐ tremely hot or cold.
The ýollowinþ objects may not berecoþnized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. æbjects which tend to absorb the sensor ýrequency such as clothes,
sponþy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in heiþht and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.

precautions
• The rear parkinþ assist system may not sound consistently dependinþ on
the speed and shapes oý the objects
detected.
• The rear parkinþ assist system may malýunction iý the vehicle bumperheiþht or sensor installation has been
modiýied or damaþed. Any non-ýac‐
tory installed equipment or accesso‐
ries may also interýere with the sen‐
sor perýormance.
• The sensor may not recoþnize ob‐ jects less than 30 cm (12 in.) ýrom
the sensor, or it may sense an incor‐
rect distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is ýrozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor
may be inoperative until the stains are removed usinþ a soýt cloth.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damaþe could occur.

NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the ranþe and location oý 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 be‐
tween sensors may not be detected
by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the ve‐
hicle when backinþ up.
Be sure to inýorm any drivers oý the
vehicle that may be unýamiliar with
the system reþardinþ 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 object’s distance,size or material, all oý which can lim‐it the eýýectiveness oý the sensor.

(Continued)
Always perýorm a visual inspectionto make sure the vehicle is clear oýall obstructions beýore movinþ thevehicle in any direction.
Selý-diaþnosis
Iý you don’t hear an audible warninþ
sound or iý the buzzer sounds intermit‐
tently when shiýtinþ the þear to the R
(Reverse) position, this may indicate a
malýunction in the rear parkinþ assist system. Iý this occurs, have the system
checked by a proýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does notcover any accidents or damaþe tothe vehicle or injuries to its occu‐pants due to a rear parkinþ assistsystem malýunction. Always drivesaýely and cautiously.

matically dependinþ on the amount oý
liþht outside the vehicle.
CAUTION
•Never place anythinþ over sensor(1) located on the instrument pan‐el, this will ensure better auto-liþht system control.
