Detecting sensor
Rear Corner Radar
The rear corner radars are located
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side and rear areas. Always keep
the rear bumper clean for proper
operation of the function.
䳜 Blind-Spot Collision Warning may
not work properly when the
bumper has been damaged, or if
the rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some
-
what according to the width of
the road.
䳜 When the road is narrow, the
function may detect other vehi
-
cles in the next lane.
䳜 The function may turn off if
interfered by electromagnetic
waves.
䳜 Always keep the sensors clean.
䳜 NEVER disassemble the sensor
component or apply any impact
on the sensor component.
䳜 Be careful not to apply unneces
-
sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is forc
-
ibly moved out of proper align
-
ment, the function may not
operate correctly. In this case, a
warning message may not be dis
-
played. Have the vehicle inspected
by an authorised Kia dealer/ser
-
vice partner.
䳜 Do not apply foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor or
apply paint to the sensor area.
Doing so may adversely affect the
performance of the sensor.
