fluid spray
To prevent the odor from entering to
inside the vehicle, the ventilation sys-
tem changes to Recirculated Air
Mode for a while when the wind-
shield washer fluid sprayed.

The front view camera is broken.
The headlamps are not on at night
or in a tunnel, or light level is low.
The light of street, sun, oncoming vehicle and so on reflects from the
water on the road.
When light shines brightly in the reverse direction you drive.
The shadow is on the lane marker by a median strip, trees, etc.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The front view camera sensor recognition is limited
When only a part of vehicle image does not cover the entire vehicle.
When the front view camera is blocked by continuous washer
spray and wiper operation.
The vehicle in front is a special purpose vehicle, a trailer, or a truck
loading with unusual shape of lug-
gage.
The ambient light is too high or low.
The vehicle is passing a tunnel, a tollgate, or partially paved road. The windshield glass is fogged up;
It is hard to see the rear side of the
vehicle in front.
When it is hard to see the rear side of the front vehicle. (The front vehi-
cle is turning or is overturned.)
When the rear part of the front vehicle is small or low.
When a trailer or other vehicle is towing the front vehicle.
When the ground clearance of the front vehicle is high.
When a front vehicle makes sud- den lane changes unexpectedly.Detecting pedestrian
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the front view camera recogni-
tion function, for example, if the
pedestrian is leaning over or is not
fully walking upright.
The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
front view camera detection area.
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the front view camera
recognition function.
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night).
It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrian or a large crowd.
There is an item similar to a per- son's body structure.
The pedestrian is small.

In bad weather conditions such as
heavy rain, heavy snow, and fog, or
when sensor is covered by foreign
material, dust, etc., the sensors will
be degraded and the function 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 function 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 front view camera installation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or arbitrarily remove any front radar compo-
nents.
• Do not place reflective objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the crash pad.
The function may activate unnec-
essarily due to reflect of the sun-
light.
• Excessive audio volume may dis- turb the sound of the function
warning alarm.
• For more cautions for the front view 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 front
radar sensor is blocked with a for-
eign object or debris
The front view camera lens is con- taminated 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 front radar sensor or
front view camera
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection from the front view camera 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 front view cam-
era recognition function (for exam-
ple a tractor trailer, etc.) The front view 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 obstructed.
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

other objects in the surroundings,
for example, when there is a group
of pedestrian, 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 front radar sensor or
front view camera

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 front 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.

• 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.

WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist is a func-
tion to help prevent the driver
from leaving the lane. However,
the driver should not solely rely
on the function and should
always drive safely and exercise
safe driving practices.
