The Smart Cruise Control system
may not properly activate, if the radar
is totally contaminated, or if any sub-
stance is not detected after turning
ON the engine (e.g. in an open ter-
rain).
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If SCC operation is temporarily
deactivated due to a blocked radar,
but you wish to use cruise control
mode (speed control function), you
must convert to the conventional
cruise control mode (refer to "To
convert to Cruise Control mode" in
this chapter.
CAUTION
Do not apply license plate
frame or foreign objects suchas a bumper sticker or abumper guard near the radarsensor. Doing so mayadversely affect the sensingperformance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor and lens cover clean and freeof dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pres-surized water directly on thesensor or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnec- essary force on the radar sen-sor or sensor cover. If the sen-sor is forcibly moved out ofproper alignment, the SmartCruise Control system maynot operate correctly. In thiscase, a warning message maynot be displayed. Have thesystem checked by an author-ized K900 Kia dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued) If the front bumper becomes damaged in the area aroundthe radar sensor, the SmartCruise Control system maynot operate properly. We rec-ommend that you have thesystem checked by an author-ized K900 Kia dealer.
Use only Kia parts to repair or replace a damaged sensor orsensor cover. Do not applypaint to the sensor cover.

- If the number of lanes increases
or decreases, or if the lanes inter-
sect with each other more
intensely (tollgate entry section,
road section / joining section,
etc.)
- When there are two or more lane markings such as a construction
section, a designated lane, etc.
- When the lane is crowded such as the construction section or the
lane is replaced by some struc-
tures
- If there is a road marking such as a zigzag lane, crosswalk mark, or
road surface milestone
- When a lane suddenly becomes invisible or disappears from an
intersection
• The external environment affecting the system
- If the outside brightness of the vehi- cle suddenly changes, such as
when entering or exiting the tunnel
or passing under the bridge - If the vehicle's headlights are not
used at night or in the tunnel, or the
brightness of the headlights is too
weak
- If there are boundary structures such as tollgate booths and side-
walk blocks
- If it is difficult to distinguish lanes due to the reflection on the wet road
made by sunlight, streetlight, and
oncoming traffic.
- When the backlight is strongly reflect- ed in the direction of the vehicle
- When Driving to the left or right lane by bus lane or on the bus lane
- If there is not enough distance between the front car or if the lane
is covered by the car ahead of me
- When the lane change is large, such as a steep curve or a continu-
ous curve
- When passing through speed bump, sudden up / down or left /
right slope
- If the vehicle is severely shaken
- When the temperature around the rearview mirror is very high due to
direct sunlight • If the front camera clock is of poor

Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
system disabled.
Radar blocked
This warning message may appearwhen :
- One or both of the sensors on therear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the sensor does not detect another
vehicle for an extended period of
time.
- When there is inclement weather such as heavy snow or rain.
CAUTION
The system may not work properly when the bumper hasbeen damaged, or if the rearbumper has been replaced orrepaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width ofthe road. When the road is nar-row, the system may detectother vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Always keep the sensors clean. NEVER arbitrarily disassem- ble the sensor component norapply any impact on the sen-sor component.
Be careful not to apply unnec- essary force on the radar sen-sor or sensor cover. If the sen-sor is forcibly moved out ofproper alignment, the systemmay not operate correctly. Inthis case, a warning messagemay not be displayed.
(Continued)
(Continued)Have the vehicle inspected byan authorized K900 Kia dealer.
Do not apply foreign objects such as a bumper sticker or abumper guard near the radarsensor or apply paint to thesensor area. Doing so mayadversely affect the perform-ance of the sensor.
NEVER install any acces- sories or stickers on the frontwindshield, nor tint the frontwindshield.
Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out of water.
NEVER locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mir-ror) over the crash pad. Anylight reflection may cause amalfunction of the system.

Check Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system
If there is a problem with the BCA
system, a warning message will
appear. The system will turn off auto-
matically. BCW will still operate even
if the BCA system turns off due to
malfunction. We recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer to use
BCA system.

eral ground) abnormally contains
metallic components (i.e. possibly
due to subway construction).
