REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

OYB047450D

The rear parking assist system assists

the driver during backward movement

of the vehicle by chiming if any object is

sensed within a distance of 120 cm

(47 in.) behind the vehicle.

This system is a supplemental system

and it is not intended to nor does it re‐

place the need for extreme care and

attention of the driver. The sensing

range and objects detectable by the

back sensors (➀) are limited. Whenever

backing-up, pay as much attention to

what is behind you as you would in a

vehicle without a rear parking assist

system.

WARNING

The rear parking assist system is a

supplementary function only. The

operation of the rear parking assist

system can be affected by several

factors (including environmental

conditions). It is the responsibility of

the driver to always check the area

behind the vehicle before and while

backing up.

Operation of the rear parking

assist system

Operating condition

• This system will activate when back‐

ing up with the ignition switch ON.

If the vehicle is moving at a speed

over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system

may not be activated correctly.

• The sensing distance while the rear

parking assist system is in operation

is approximately 120 cm (47 in.).

• When more than two objects are

sensed at the same time, the closest

one will be recognized first.

Types of warning sound

Indicator

*

When an object is 120 cm

to 61 cm (47 in. to 24 in.)

from the rear bumper:

Buzzer beeps intermit‐

tently.
When an object is 60 cm

to 31 cm (23 in. to 12 in.)

from the rear bumper:

Non-operational conditions of

rear parking assist system

The rear parking assist system

may not operate properly when:

1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It

will operate normally when the

moisture has been cleared.)

2. The sensor is covered with foreign

matter, such as snow or water, or

the sensor cover is blocked. (It will

operate normally when the materi‐

al is removed or the sensor is no

longer blocked.)

3. Driving on uneven road surfaces

(unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, gra‐

dient).

4. Objects generating excessive noise

(vehicle horns, loud motorcycle en‐

gines, or truck air brakes) are with‐

in range of the sensor.

5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile

phones are within range of the

sensor.

7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing.

The detecting range may decrease

when:

1. The sensor is stained with foreign

matter such as snow or water. (The

sensing range will return to normal

when removed.)

2. Outside air temperature is ex‐

tremely hot or cold.

The following objects may not be

recognized by the sensor:

1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes,

chains or small poles.

2. Objects which tend to absorb the

sensor frequency such as clothes,

spongy material or snow.

3. Undetectable objects smaller than

1 m (40 in.) in height and narrower

than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.

Rear parking assist system

precautions

• The rear parking assist system may

not sound consistently depending on

the speed and shapes of the objects

detected.

• The rear parking assist system may

malfunction if the vehicle bumper

height or sensor installation has been

modified or damaged. Any non-fac‐

tory installed equipment or accesso‐

ries may also interfere with the sen‐

sor performance.

• The sensor may not recognize ob‐

jects less than 30 cm (12 in.) from

the sensor, or it may sense an incor‐

rect distance. Use caution.

• When the sensor is frozen or stained

with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor

may be inoperative until the stains

are removed using a soft cloth.

• Do not push, scratch or strike the

sensor. Sensor damage could occur.

NOTICE

This system can only sense objects

within the range and location of the

sensors; It can not detect objects in

other areas where sensors are not

installed. Also, small or slim objects,

such as poles or objects located be‐

tween sensors may not be detected

by the sensors.

Always visually check behind the ve‐

hicle when backing up.

Be sure to inform any drivers of the

vehicle that may be unfamiliar with

the system regarding the systems

capabilities and limitations.

WARNING

Pay close attention when the vehicle

is driven close to objects on the road,

particularly pedestrians, and espe‐

cially children. Be aware that some

objects may not be detected by the

sensors, due to the object’s distance,

size or material, all of which can lim‐

it the effectiveness of the sensor.

Always perform a visual inspection

to make sure the vehicle is clear of

all obstructions before moving the

vehicle in any direction.

Self-diagnosis

If you don’t hear an audible warning

sound or if the buzzer sounds intermit‐

tently when shifting the gear to the R

(Reverse) position, this may indicate a

malfunction in the rear parking assist

system. If this occurs, have the system

checked by a professional workshop.

Kia recommends to visit an authorized

Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING

Your new vehicle warranty does not

cover any accidents or damage to

the vehicle or injuries to its occu‐

pants due to a rear parking assist

system malfunction. Always drive

safely and cautiously.
