Front Camera
The Front Camera is a sensor
detecting the lane. If the sensor is
covered with snow, rain or foreign
substance, the system may tem-
porarily be cancelled and not work
properly until the cancellation due to
the degradation of the sensor's
detection performance. Always keep
the sensor clean.
* Refer to Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)system for cautions for the front
camera sensor.
Rear Corner Radars
The Rear Corner Radars are the
sensors inside the rear bumper for
detecting the side/rear areas. Always
keep the rear bumper clean for prop-
er operation of the system.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.
On the other hand, when the road is wide, the system maynot detect vehicles on bothlanes and may not warn.
The system may turn off if inter- fered by electromagnetic waves.
Always keep the sensors clean. NEVER arbitrarily disassem- ble the sensor component norapply any impact on the sen-sor component.
(Continued)
(Continued) 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. Ifthis occurs, a warning mes-sage may not be displayed.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.

Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
system disabled.
Radar blocked
This warning message may appear
when :
- One or both of the sensors on therear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- When a trailer or carrier is installed.
- 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.
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on BCW/BCA switch and the
system will turn off automatically.
Turn off the BCW, BCA and RCCW
system (if equipped) when a trailer or
carrier is installed.
- Press the BCW/BCA button (the indicator on the button extinguish)
- Deactivate the RCCW system by deselecting
“AVN →Setup →Vehicle →Driver
Assistance →Blind-Spot Safety
→ Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning” (if equipped)
If you use BCW, BCA and RCCW
system, remove a trailer or carrier.
When BCW system canceled warn-
ing message is displayed in the clus-
ter, check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.(Continued) 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.

Driving your vehicle
After any dirt or debris is removed,
BCA system should operate normal-
ly after about 10 minutes of driving
the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized K900 Kia dealer.Check Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system
If there is a problem with BCW sys-
tem, a warning message will appear
and the light on the switch will turn
off. The system will turn off automat-
ically. BCA will not operate also if
BCW system turns off due to mal-
function. We recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.Check Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system
If there is a problem with BCA sys-
tem, a warning message will appear.
The system will turn off automatical-
ly. BCW system 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.

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.
The system may not work around
15 seconds after starting the vehi-
cle or the initialization or rebooting
of the front view camera.
When a trailer or carrier is installed.
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 vehicle drives through a tollgate.
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.

vehicle or structure for an extended
period of time.
