Driving your vehicle
In bad weather conditions such as
heavy rain, heavy snow, and fog, or
when sensor is covered by foreign
material, dust, tec., the sensors will
be degraded and the system will be
temporarily disabled.
Always keep the sensor clean.✽ ✽NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor
arbitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper area clean.
• Use only soft cloths to wash the vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the system may not
normally operate even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover. (Continued)(Continued)
• Do not tint the window or install
stickers, accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.
• Make sure the frontal camera installation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or arbitrarily remove any radar/camera compo-
nents.
• Do not place reflective objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the crash pad.
The system may activate unneces-
sarily due to reflect of the sunlight.
• Excessive audio volume may dis- turb the sound of the system warn-
ing alarm.
• For more cautions for the camera sensor, refer to the “Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA)” in this chapter.

Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The front view camera or frontradar sensor is blocked with a for-
eign object or debris
The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
The front view camera/front radar sensor recognition is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.) The camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear
lights are located unusually.
The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically
The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle is driven near areas containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc. The vehicle drives inside a build-
ing, such as a basement parking
lot
The front view camera does not recognize the entire vehicle in
front.
The front view camera is damaged.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
The shadow is on the road by a median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll- gate.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed.
The rear part of the vehicle in front is not normally visible. (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.)
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a
speed bump

It is difficult to detect and distin-
guish the pedestrian or cyclist from
other objects in the surroundings,
for example, when there is a group
of pedestrians, cyclists or a large
crowd
There is an item similar in shape or appearance to a person
The pedestrian or cyclist is below the sensor's viewing range
The sensor can not identify the pedestrian's outline because of
other items changing their profile,
such as mobility assistance devices
The front view camera or front radar is obstructed by a foreign
object or debris
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road The field of view in front is
obstructed by sun glare
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
When the pedestrian or cyclist suddenly enters the path of travel
of the vehicle
When the cyclist in front is riding perpendicular to the direction of
travel
When there is any electromagnetic interference
When the cyclist is near areas con- taining metal objects such as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
If the bicycle material is not reflect- ed well on the radar
When a pedestrian or cyclist’s height is small.
When a pedestrian or cyclist’s behavior is unstable. When a pedestrian or cyclist sud-
denly interrupts in front of the vehi-
cle.
When there are many pedestrians or cyclists.
When there is an object that reflects radar well. (such as a
guardrail or a nearby vehicle)

• There is a boundary structure inthe roadway.
• The light of street, sun, or oncom- ing vehicle reflects from the water
on the road.
• When light shines brightly in the reverse direction you drive.
• Road surface is not even.
• The distance from the vehicle ahead is very short or the vehicle
ahead drives hiding the lane line.
• You drive on a steep grade or a sharp curve.
• The vehicle vibrates heavily.
• The temperature near inside mir- ror is very high due to direct sun
light and etc.  
when front visibility is poor
• The lens or windshield is covered by strange materials.
• The sensor cannot detect the lane because of fog, heavy rain or snow.
• The windshield is fogged by humid air in the vehicle.
• Putting something on the crash pad and etc.
WARNING
LKA system is a system to help
prevent the driver from leaving
the lane. However, the driver
should not solely rely on the
system and should always drive
safely and exercise safe driving
practices.

section, a designated lane, etc.
- When the lane is crowded such as the construction section or the
lane is replaced by some struc-
tures
- If there is a road marking such as a zigzag lane, crosswalk mark, or
road surface milestone
- When a lane suddenly becomes invisible or disappears from an
intersection
• The external environment affecting the system
- If the outside brightness of the vehi- cle suddenly changes, such as
when entering or exiting the tunnel
or passing under the bridge - If the vehicle's headlights are not
used at night or in the tunnel, or the
brightness of the headlights is too
weak
- If there are boundary structures such as tollgate booths and side-
walk blocks
- If it is difficult to distinguish lanes due to the reflection on the wet road
made by sunlight, streetlight, and
oncoming traffic.
- When the backlight is strongly reflect- ed in the direction of the vehicle
- When Driving to the left or right lane by bus lane or on the bus lane
- If there is no enough distance between the front car or if the lane
is covered by the car ahead of me
- When the lane change is large, such as a steep curve or a continu-
ous curve
- When passing through speed bump, sudden up / down or left /
right slope
- If the vehicle is severely shaken
- When the temperature around the mirror is very high due to direct sun-
light • When the front camera has poor vis-
ibility
- If the windshield of the vehicle and the camera lens are covered
with dust, fingerprints, or tinting.
- If the camera has poor visibility due to bad weather such as fog,
heavy rain, heavy snow.

3. Pull the suspected fuse straight
out. Use the removal tool provided
on the engine compartment fuse
panel cover.
4. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
Spare fuses are provided in theengine compartment fuse panel.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an authorized
Kia dealer.
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuityou may not need for operating thevehicle, such as the power outletfuse.
If the head lamp, turn signal lamp,
stop signal lamp, fog lamp, DRL, tail
lamp, HMSL do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the engine compartment. If a fuse
is blown, it must be replaced.
