The Parking Assist System is not a
substitute for proper and safe parking
and backing-up procedures. Always
drive safely and use caution when
parking. The Parking Assist System
may not detect every object behind or
in front of the 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 or 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 are limit-
ed. When the vehicle moving, pay
attention to your surroundings.
Operation of the parking
assist system
Operating condition
This system activates when the
parking assist button is pressed with
the Engine Start/Stop Button ON.
The parking assist button turns on automatically and activates the
parking assist system when you
shift the gear to the R (Reverse)
position.

Parking assist system
Never rely solely on the parking
assist system. Always perform
a visual inspection to make
sure the vehicle is clear of all
obstructions before moving the
vehicle in any direction. Stop
immediately if you are aware of
a child anywhere near your
vehicle. Some objects may not
be detected by the sensors, due
to the object's size or material.

The sensing distance while backingup is approximately 39 in. (100 cm)
when you are driving less than 6.2
mph (10 km/h).
The sensing distance while moving forward is approximately 39 in. (100
cm) when you are driving less than
6.2 mph (10 km/h).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
✽ NOTICE
The system may not detect and
object if the distance from the object
is already less than approximately
10 in. (25 cm) when the system is
turned ON.

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 mat- ter, 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 39 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 system’s
capabilities and limitations.
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.

If your vehicle is equipped with the
adaptive front lighting system
(AFLS), it will also operate when the
headlamp is ON.
✽NOTICE
If your vehicle has window tint or
other types of coating on the front
windshield, the Auto light system
may not work properly.
AFLS (Adaptive Front Lighting
System) (if equipped)
Adaptive front lighting system uses
the steering angle and vehicle speed,
to keep your field of vision wide by
swiveling and leveling the headlamp.
Change the switch to the AUTO posi-
tion when the engine is running. The
adaptive front lighting system will
operate when the headlamp is ON. To
turn off the AFLS, change the switch
to other positions. After turning the
AFLS off, headlamp swiveling no
longer occurs, but leveling operates
continuously. If the AFLS malfunction indicator
comes on, the AFLS is not working
properly. Drive to the nearest safe
location and restart the engine. If the
indicator remains on, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized K900
Kia dealer.

Never place anything over the
sensor (1) located on the
instrument panel, this will
ensure better auto-light sys-
tem control.
Don’t clean the sensor using a window cleaner, the cleaner
may leave a light film which
could interfere with sensor
operation.

trols the wiping cycle for the
proper interval. The more it
rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain
stops, the wiper stops. To
vary the speed setting, turn
the speed control knob (B).

Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls the
wiping cycle for the proper interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain stops, the
wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the Engine Start/Stop
Button is ON, the wiper will operate
once to perform a self-check of the
system. Set the wiper to OFF posi-
tion when the wiper is not in use.
When the engine Start/Stop but-
ton is ON and the windshield
wiper switch is placed in the
AUTO mode, use caution in the
following situations to avoid
damaging the rain sensors on
the windshield:
Do not touch the upper end ofthe windshield glass facing
the rain sensor.
Do not wipe the upper end of the windshield glass with a
damp or wet cloth.
Do not put pressure on the windshield glass.
CAUTION
When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch to the OFF posi-
tion so the auto wiper will not
operate.
The wiper may operate and be
damaged if the switch is set in
the AUTO mode while washing
the vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
passenger side windshield
glass. Damage to system parts
could occur and may not be cov-
ered by your vehicle warranty.
When starting the vehicle in win-
ter, set the wiper switch in the
OFF position. Otherwise, wipers
may operate and ice may dam-
age the windshield wiper blades.
Always remove all snow and ice
and defrost the windshield prop-
erly prior to operating the wind-
shield wipers.

The Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB) helps avoid accidents
by identifying critical situations early
and warning the driver.
Take the following precautions when
using the Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB):
This system is only a supplementalsystem 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
are limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
NEVER drive too fast for the road conditions or too quickly when cor-
nering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. AEB does not stop
the vehicle completely and does
not avoid collisions. AEB operates according to the dis-
tance from the vehicle ahead, rela-
tive velocity, and driver's operation
of the brake or accelerator pedal.
Do not drive dangerously to inten-
tionally operate the AEB.
ALWAYS check the speed and the distance to the vehicle ahead. The
AEB is not a substitute for safe
driving practices.AEB Operation
