Non-operational conditions of parking assist system
Parking assist system may notoperate 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 motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
3. Heavy rain or water spray.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones present near the sensor.
5. Sensor is covered with snow.
Detecting range may decrease when:
1. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
2. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m and narrower than 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 30 cm from the sensor,
or it may sense an incorrect dis-
tance. 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.WARNING
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 effective-
ness of the sensor. Always per-
form a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving
the vehicle in any direction.

The Smart Parking Assist System
helps drivers park their vehicle by
using sensors to measure parallel
parking spaces, control the steering
wheel to semi-automatically park the
vehicle and provide instruction on
the LCD display to help through
parking.
✽✽
NOTICE
 The vehicle will not stop for pedes- trians or objects that may be in its
path, so the driver must monitor
the manoeuvre.
 Use the system only in parking lots and places used for parking.
 The system does not work if there is no car parked in front of the park-
ing space you are planning to park
or if it is a diagonal parking space.
 After parking your vehicle using the system, the vehicle may not be
parked at the exact spot you have
wished. For example, the space
between your vehicle and wall may
not be the distance you have desired.
 Deactivate the system and park your vehicle manually, when the sit-
uation requires parking manually.
 The Parking Assist System's front and rear warning sound activates
when the Smart Parking Assist
System is activated.
 After searching for a parking space is completed, the Smart
Parking Assist System will be can-
celled if the Parking Assist System
is cancelled by pressing the button
to the OFF position.

front and rear view for objects.The operational function of the
Smart Parking Assist System
can be affected by many fac-
tors and conditions of the sur-
roundings, so the responsibili-
ty rests always with the driver.
The system may not operate normally if the vehicle needswheel alignment adjustment.
Have the vehicle checked by
an authorised Kia dealer.
If you use a different tyre or wheel size rather than the size
recommended by the Kia
dealer, the system may not
work properly. Always use the
same size tyre and wheel.
If you use additional frame on license plate then SPAS may
generate abnormal warningsound.
