Rear/side detecting sensors

(Continued)

CAUTION

• Never disassemble the sensor

component nor apply any

impact on the sensor compo-

nent.

• Be careful not to apply unnec-

essary force on the radar sen-

sors or bumpers near the sen-

sor. If the sensor is forcibly

moved out of proper align-

ment, the system may not

operate correctly. In this case,

have the system checked by

an authorized Kia dealer.

• 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 perform-

ance of the sensor.

• The system may not work

properly when the bumper has

been damaged, or if the rear

bumper has been replaced or

repaired.

• The sensing range differs

somewhat according to the

width of the road. When the

road is narrow, the system

may detect and alert to other

vehicles in the next lane.

• On the contrary, on wide

roads, the system may not be

able to detect an automobile

that is driving on surrounding

lanes and may not be able to

alert.

• The system may turn off due if

interfered by electromagnetic

interference.

The sensors are located inside the

rear bumper for detecting rear/side

areas.

Always keep the rear bumper clean

for proper operation of the system.
