The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreignmatter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
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 the sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in height and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.Parking distance warning-
reverse precautions
The parking distance warning-reverse may not sound consistent-
ly depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
The parking distance warning- reverse may malfunction if the vehi-
cle bumper height or sensor instal-
lation has been modified or dam-
aged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may also
interfere with the sensor perform-
ance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or SOILED with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the MATERIAL IS removed using a
soft cloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
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 objects 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
capabilities and limitations.

Features of your vehicle
The parking distance warning is not
a substitute for proper and safe park-
ing and backing-up procedures.
Always drive safely and use caution
when parking. The parking distance
warning may not detect every object
behind or in front of the vehicle.The parking distance warning assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 100 cm
(39 in) in front or behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are limit-
ed. When the vehicle moving, pay
attention to your surroundings.
Operation of the parking dis-
tance warning
Operating condition
This system activates when the
parking assist button is pressed with
the Engine Start/Stop Button ON.
The parking assist button turns on automatically and activates the park-
ing distance warning when you shift
the gear to the R (Reverse) position.

tance warning
Never rely solely on the parking
distance warning. Always per-
form 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 mate-
rial.

The sensing distance while back-
ing up is approximately 100 cm (39
in.) when you are driving less than
10 km/h (6.2 mph).
The sensing distance while moving forward is approximately 100 cm
(39 in.) when you are driving less
than 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The system may not detect and
object if the distance from the object
is already less than approximately
25 cm (10 in.) when the system is
turned ON.

Non-operational conditions of
parking distance warning
Parking distance warning maynot operate normally when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when mois-
ture melts.)
2. Sensor is covered with foreign 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
longer blocked.)
3. Sensor is stained with foreign mat- ter such as snow or water. (Sensing
range will return to normal when
removed.)
4. The parking assist button is off.
There is a possibility of parking distance warning malfunctionwhen:
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 extremely hot or cold.
2. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (39 in.) and narrower than 14
cm (5.5 in.) in diameter.
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.

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 distance warning. If this
occurs, have the system checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.

Auto light position (if equipped)
When the light switch is in the AUTO
light position, the taillights and head-
lights will turn ON or OFF automati-
cally depending on the amount of
light outside the vehicle.
When the light switch is positioned at
an auto light position, at first, the
wiper will turn on and then, after 5
seconds the head lamp will turn on
automatically.
If the head lamp has been turned on
due to this function of the vehicle, the
head lamp will turn off 60 seconds
after the wiper has been turned off.
Headlights On with Wipers(Available With Auto lights Only)
- When the light switch is in the AUTO light position, the headlights
will turn ON automatically the next
5 seconds with wiper is ON.
If this feature allows headlights to turn
On, the headlights will be turned off on
the next 60 seconds with wiper is off.
Never place anything over the sen- sor (1) located on the instrument
panel. This will ensure better auto-
light system control.
Don’t clean the sensor using a win- dow cleaner. The cleaner may
leave a light film which could inter-
fere with sensor operation.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of metallic coating on
the front windshield, the Auto light
system may not work properly.
High beam operation
To turn on the high beam headlights,
push the lever away from you. The
lever will return to its original posi-
tion.
The high beam indicator will light
when the headlight high beams are
switched on.
