Warning message
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris,
Smart Cruise Control system opera-
tion may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display. Remove
any dirt, snow, or debris and clean
the radar sensor lens cover before
operating Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem. Smart Cruise Control system
may not properly activate, if the radar
is totally contaminated, or if any sub-
stance is detected after turning ON
the engine (e.g. in an open terrain).
Smart Cruise Control system mal-
function message
The message will appear when the
vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the system
checked.

CAUTION
Do not install accessories
around the sensor and do not
replace the bumper by your-
self. It may interfere with the
sensor performance.
Always keep the sensor and
bumper clean.
Use only a soft cloth to wash
the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, Smart
Cruise Control system may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed.
Have the system checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.

Warning message and system
control
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system
If the vehicle detected by the sensors
approaches from the rear left/right
side of your vehicle, the warning
chime will sound, the warning light
on the outside rearview mirror will
blink and a message will appear on
the LCD display. If the rear view mon-
itor system is in activation, a mes-
sage will also appear on the
‘Infortainment System’.
The warning will stop when:
- The vehicle moving at the rear
left/right side of your vehicle is not
in the detection range.
- The vehicle is right behind your
vehicle.
- The vehicle is not driving towards
your vehicle.
- The vehicle’s approaching speed is
decreased.CAUTION
When the operation condition
of RCCW is met, the warning
will occur every time a vehicle
approaches the side or rear of
your stopped (0 km/h (0 mph)
vehicle speed) vehicle.
The system's warning or brake
may not operate properly if the
left or right of your vehicle's
rear bumper is blocked by a
vehicle or obstacle.
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
the warning light on the outer
side view mirror illuminates or
there is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the system's warning sounds.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the RCCW warning may not
sound.

Detecting Sensor
The rear radars are located inside
the rear bumper for detecting the
side and rear areas.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for proper operation of the system.
ODEP059158
CAUTION
The system may not work
properly when the bumper has
been damaged, or if the rear
bumper has been replaced or
repaired.
The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
Always keep the sensors clean.
NEVER arbitrarily disassem-
ble the sensor component nor
apply any impact on the sen-
sor component.
Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the system
may not operate correctly. In
this case, a warning message
may not be displayed.

WARNING
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system. Do not sole-
ly rely on the system but
check your surrounding when
backing the vehicle up.
The driver is responsible for
accurate brake control.
Always pay extreme caution
while driving. Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning sys-
tem may not operate properly

Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
system disabled. Radar blocked
This warning message may appear
when:
- One or both of the sensors on the
rear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the
sensor does not detect another
vehicle for an extended period of
time.
- When there is inclement weather
such as heavy snow or rain.A trailer or carrier is installed. (To use
BCW system, remove the trailer or
carrier from your vehicle.)
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on BCW button and the system
will turn off automatically.
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW button and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
When BCW canceled warning mes-
sage is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
BCW system should operate normal-
ly after about 10 minutes of driving
the vehicle.
If the system does not work normally
even though the foreign substance,
trailer or carrier, or other equipment
is removed, have the system
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

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.

What to do in an emergency
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
(1) Low tire pressure telltale /
TPMS malfunction indicator
(2) Low tire pressure position telltale
(Shown on the LCD display)
Check tire pressure
You can check the tire pressure in
the information mode on the clus-
ter.
- Refer to “Assist mode” in chapter
4.
Tire pressure is displayed 1~2 min-
utes later after driving.
If tire pressure is not displayed
when the vehicle is stopped, “Drive
to display” message displays. After
driving, check the tire pressure.
You can change the tire pressure
unit in the user settings mode on
the cluster.
- psi, kpa, bar (Refer to “User set-
tings mode” in chapter 4).
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The tire pressure may change due
to factors such as parking condi-
tion, driving style, and altitude
above sea level.
• Low tire pressure warning may
sound when a tire’s pressure unit is
equal or higher than nearby tires.
This is a normal occurrence, which
is due to the change in tire pressure
along with tire temperature.
• The tire pressure shown on the
dashboard may differ from the
tire pressure measured by tire
pressure gauge.

Tire speed ratings
The chart below lists many of the dif-
ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger vehicles. The
speed rating is part of the tire size
designation on the sidewall of the
tire. This symbol corresponds to that
tire's designed maximum safe oper-
ating speed.3. Checking tire life (TIN : Tire
Identification Number)
Any tires that are over 6 years old,
based on the manufacturing date,
(including the spare tire) should be
replaced by new ones. You can find
the manufacturing date on the tire
sidewall (possibly on the inside of the
wheel), displaying the DOT Code.
The DOT Code is a series of num-
bers on a tire consisting of numbers
and English letters. The manufactur-
ing date is designated by the last four
digits (characters) of the DOT code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT means a
plant code number, tire size and
tread pattern and the last four num-
bers indicate week and year manu-
factured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1620 represents
that the tire was produced in the 16th
week of 2020.
4. Tire ply composition and mate-
rial
The number of layers or plies of rub-
ber-coated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tire, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
The letter "R" means radial ply con-
struction; the letter "D" means diago-
nal or bias ply construction; and the
letter "B" means belted-bias ply con-
struction.
S 180 km/h (112 mph)
T 190 km/h (118 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph)
V 240 km/h (149 mph)
Z Above 240 km/h (149 mph)
