Driver assistance guide
If this occurs the warning message, and the yellow ( ), ( ) and ( ) warning
lights will appear on the cluster.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will operate properly when snow, rain or foreign
material is removed.
If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate properly after obstruction
(snow, rain, or foreign material) is removed (including trailer, carrier, etc. from the rear
bumper), Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
• Even though the warning message or warning light does not appear on the cluster,
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not properly operate.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not properly operate in an area (e.g. open
terrain), where there is nothing to detect, or detecting sensor is covered in foreign
material after turning ON the vehicle.
• Even after starting the vehicle again, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
function properly when the obstruction or malfunction condition persists.
NOTE
You can check it in the service message of the utility information view of the cluster
display window.
