Features of your vehicle

The parking assist system assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 39 in.
(100 cm) in front and 47 in. (120 cm)
behind the vehicle.

This system is a supplemental sys-
tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors (

➀) are

limited. Whenever moving pay as
much attention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking assist system.

Operation of the parking
assist system

Operating condition

• This system activates when the

parking assist system button is
pressed with the ignition switch ON.

• The indicator of the parking assist

system button turns on automatical-
ly and activates the parking assist
system when you shift the gear to
the R (Reverse) position. It will turn
off automatically when you drive
above 12.4 mph (20 km/h).

PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING

The parking assist system is a
supplementary function only.
The operation of the parking
assist system can be affected
by several factors (including
environmental conditions).
It is the responsibility of the
driver to always check the front
and rear views before and while
parking.

NOTICE

• This system can only sense objects

within the range and location of
the sensors; It can not detect
objects in other areas where sen-
sors are not installed. Also, small
or slim objects, such as poles or
objects located between sensors
may not be detected by the sen-
sors. Always visually check behind
the vehicle when backing up.

• Be sure to inform any drivers of

the vehicle that may be unfamiliar
with the system regarding the sys-
tems capabilities and limitations.

Non-operational conditions of
parking assist system

Parking assist system may not
operate normally when:

1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It

will operate normally when mois-
ture melts.)

2. 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. Sensor is stained with foreign mat-

ter such as snow or water.
(Sensing range will return to nor-
mal when removed.)

4.The parking assist button is off.

There is a possibility of parking
assist system malfunction when:

1. Driving on uneven road surfaces

such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.

2. Objects generating excessive

noise such as vehicle horns, loud
motorcycle engines, or truck air
brakes can interfere with the sen-
sor.

3. Heavy rain or water spray.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile

phones present near the sensor.

5. Sensor is covered with snow.

Features of your vehicle

Detecting range may decrease
when:

1. Outside air temperature is

extremely hot or cold.

2. Undetectable objects smaller than

4 in. (1 m) and narrower than 5.5
in. (14 cm) in diameter.

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 sen-

sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.

✽

✽

NOTICE

1.

The warning may not sound

sequentially depending on the speed
and shapes of the objects detected.

2. The parking assist system may

malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has
been modified. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.

3. Sensor may not recognize objects

less than 12 in. (30 cm) from the
sensor, or it may sense an incor-
rect distance. Use with caution.

4. When the sensor is frozen or stained

with snow or water, the sensor may
be inoperative until the stains are
removed using a soft cloth.

5. Do not push, scratch or strike the

sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of 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,
or objects located between sensors
may not be detected.
Always visually check in front and
behind the vehicle when driving.
Be sure to inform any drivers in the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.

4 111

Features of your vehicle

Pay close attention when the vehicle
is driven close to objects on the
road, particularly pedestrians, and
especially children. Be aware that
some objects may not be detected
by the sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit 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

When you shift the gear to the R
(Reverse) position and if one or more
of the below occurs you may have a
malfunction in the rear parking assist
system.
• You don't hear an audible warning

sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently.

If this occurs, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.

✽

NOTICE

Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle or injuries to its occu-
pants related to a parking assist sys-
tem. Always drive safely and cau-

The rearview camera will activate
with the ignition switch ON, engine
ON and the shift lever in the R
(Reverse) position.

This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that shows behind the vehicle
through the audio screen while back-
ing up unless equipped with a navi-
gation system, then will display on
the navigation screen.
Also, it displays rear view image
when there is driver’s request even in
N/D gear. It provides image opti-
mized for driving mode unlike park-
ing mode image. All three conditions
must be met to operate driving assist
mode.
- IGN Status : ON
- Engine Status : ON
- Gearshift Status : D or N
- Rear view camera switch : ON

• This system is a supplementary

function only. It is the responsibility
of the driver to always check the
inside/outside rearview mirrors and
the area behind the vehicle before
and while backing up because
there is a dead zone that can't be
seen by the camera.

• Always keep the camera lens

clean. If lens is covered with for-
eign matter, the camera may not
operate normally.

REARVIEW CAMERA

OCK047406L

WARNING -

Backing &
using camera

Never rely solely on the rear view
camera when backing. You must
always use methods of viewing
the area behind you including
looking over both shoulders as
well as continuously checking all
three rear view mirrors. Due to
the difficulty of ensuring that the
area behind you remains clear,
always back slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.
