Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW) (if equipped)
Parking Distance Warning disabled
Warning message: Parking Distance Warning system limited. Ultrasonic sensor

The ultrasonic sensor is a sensor that detects objects around the vehicle. The Parking
Distance Warning may be temporarily limited or may not operate if snow, rain, foreign
substances, etc. get on the sensor. You can check the detection sensor blind warning
target (ultrasonic sensor) in the service message of the utility information view in the
cluster display window.
The Parking Distance Warning will work normally if you remove the contamination
from the recognition sensor. Always keep it clean.
If it still does not work properly even after you have removed the contamination, we
recommend you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
