bumper is blinded by a barrier or
vehicles, the system sensing abili-
ty may be deteriorated.
When the BCW system is being acti-
vated, the warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detected at the
rear side by the system. To avoid
accidents, do not focus only on the
warning light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.✽ ✽

is narrow the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane.
• If the road is very wide the system may not detect other vehicles.
• The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic interfer-
ence.

porarily for tinted window or
attaching any types of coatings and
accessories. If you disassemble a
camera and assemble it again, take
your vehicle to an authorized Kia
dealer and have the system
checked to need a calibration.

over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may cause a mal-func-
tion of the Driver Attention
Warning (DAW) system.
