Detecting sensors (front view
camera/front radar)
The sensors are detecting the distance
to vehicles ahead, pedestrian or cyclist.
In bad weather conditions such as
heavy
rain, heavy snow, and fog, or
when sensor is covered by foreign ma‐
terial, dust, tec., the sensors will be de‐
graded and the system will be tempo‐
rarily disabled.
Always keep the sensor clean.
NOTICE
• Do
not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor ar‐
bitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper
area clean.
• Use only soft clothes to wash the
vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.

• Be
careful not to apply unnecessa‐
ry force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to ex‐
ternal force, the system may not
normally operate even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by
a professional workshop. Kia rec‐
ommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor
cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover.
• Do not tint the window or install
stickers, accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.
• Make sure the frontal camera in‐
stallation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or arbitrarily re‐
move any radar/camera compo‐
nents.
