Warning precautions
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may not sound consistently
depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may malfunction if the vehicle
bumper height or sensor installa-
tion 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 16 in. (40 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or cov-
ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until the
material is removed using a soft
cloth.
To prevent damage, do not push,
scratch or strike the sensor.
✽ ✽
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.

occurs, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized Kia dealer as soon as
possible.

WARNING
Always look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are no
objects or pedestrian before
moving the vehicle in any
direction to prevent a colli-
sion.
Do not solely rely on Reverse
Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist.
The system might not assist
the driver leading to pedestri-
an injury or vehicle damage.
Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
rear ultrasonic sensors, due
to the objects’ distance, size
or material, all of which can
limit the effectiveness of the
sensors.

Features of your vehicle
- The system is ready for operation
when ‘Active Assist’ is selected. In
the event of an imminent collision
with a pedestrian or an object,
the system warns the driver or
applies braking force to help
avoid the collision.
- The system is ready for operation
when ‘Warning Only’ is selected.
In the event of an imminent colli-
sion with a pedestrian, the sys-
tem warns the driver but does not
assist in braking.
- The system deactivates when
‘Off’ is selected.Operating conditions

Assist enters the ready status, when
‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’ is
selected in the AVN system screen
and the following conditions are sat-
isfied :

er only once. The driver has to shift
the gear to R (Reverse) from another
gear position to reactivate the sys-
tem.
The performance of Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist may vary
under certain conditions. If the vehi-
cle speed exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h),
