Lane changing
A vehicle which moves into your
lane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.
The radar may not detect immedi- ately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.
If a slower vehicle moves into your lane, your speed may decrease to
maintain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.
If a faster vehicle which moves into your lane, your vehicle will acceler-
ate to the set speed.
Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles in your lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-cles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden- decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing
upwards due to overloading in the
luggage compartment
- While the steering wheel is operat- ing
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Apply the brake or accelerator pedal
if necessary.

Detecting Sensor
The rear radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side/rear areas. Always keep the
rear bumper clean for proper opera-
tion of the system.
(Continued)
The Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist
System is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It
is the responsibility of the
driver to always drive cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.WARNING
Drive safely even though thevehicle is equipped with a
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning System and Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision-
Avoidance Assist System. Do
not solely rely on the system
but check your surrounding
when backing the vehicle up.
The driver is responsible for accurate brake control.
Always pay extreme caution while driving. The Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning
System and Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist System may not oper-
ate properly or unnecessarily
operate in accordance with
your driving situations.

Limitations of the system
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
When a trailer or carrier isinstalled.
The vehicle drives in inclement weather such as heavy rain or
snow.
The sensor is polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc.
The rear bumper where the sensor is located is covered with a foreign
object such as a bumper sticker, a
bumper guard, a bike rack, etc.
The rear bumper is damaged, or the sensor is out of the original
default position.
The vehicle height gets lower or higher due to heavy loading in a
trunk, abnormal tire pressure, etc.
When the temperature of the rear bumper is high.
When the sensors are blocked by other vehicles, walls or parking-lot
pillars. The vehicle drives on a curved road.
The road pavement (or the periph-
eral ground) abnormally contains
metallic components (i.e. possibly
due to subway construction).
There is a fixed object near the vehicle, such as a guardrail.
While going down or up a steep road where the height of the lane is
different.
Driving on a narrow road where trees or grass or overgrown.
Driving in rural areas where the sensor does not detect another
vehicle for an extended period of
time.
Driving on a wet road.
Driving on a road where the guardrail or wall is in double structure.
A big vehicle is near such as a bus or truck.
When the other vehicle approaches very close.
When the other vehicle passes at a very fast speed.
While changing lanes. If the vehicle has started at the
same time as the vehicle next to
you and has accelerated.
When the vehicle in the next lane moves two lanes away from you
OR when the vehicle two lanes
away moves to the next lane from
you.
A motorcycle or bicycle is near.
A flat trailer is near.
If there are small objects in the detecting area such as a shopping
cart or a baby stroller.
If there is a low height vehicle such as a sports car.
The brake pedal is depressed.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is activated.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) malfunctions.
The tire pressure is low or a tire is damaged.
The brake is reworked.
The vehicle sharply stops.
Temperature is extremely low around the vehicle.

What to do in an emergency
Allow the tire to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
Never use tire sealant if your vehicle
is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. The liquid
sealant not approved by Kia may
damage the tire pressure sensors.
The TPMS cannot alert you tosevere and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors such as
nails or road debris.
If you feel any vehicle instability, immediately take your foot off the
accelerator, apply the brakes grad-
ually and with light force, and slow-
ly move to a safe position off the
road.✽ ✽ NOTICE - Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or dis-
abling the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) components may
interfere with the system's ability to
warn the driver of low tire pressure
conditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modifying,
or disabling the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) compo-
nents may void the warranty for
that portion of the vehicle.
This device complies with Part 15
of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and
2. This device must accept any inter- ference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired
operation.
