Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possible.
When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adversely
affect safe operation of the vehicle.
WARNING- Cell phone use
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.
WARNING- Distracted
driving
Driving while distracted can
result in a loss of vehicle control
that may lead to an accident,
severe personal injury, and death.
The driver's primary responsibili-
ty is in the safe and legal opera-
tion of a vehicle, and use of any
handheld devices, other equip-
ment, or vehicle systems which
take the driver's eyes, attention
and focus away from the safe
operation of a vehicle or which
are not permissible by law should
never be used during operation
of the vehicle.

In bad weather conditions such as
heavy rain, heavy snow, and fog, or
when sensor is covered by foreign
material, dust, tec., the sensors will
be degraded and the function will be
temporarily disabled.
Always keep the sensor clean.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor
arbitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper
area clean.
• Use only soft cloths to wash the
vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the function may
not normally operate even without
the warning light or message. In
this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor
cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Do not tint the window or install
stickers, accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.
• Make sure the front view camera
installation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or arbitrarily
remove any front radar compo-
nents.
• Do not place reflective
objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the crash pad.
The function may activate unnec-
essarily due to reflect of the sun-
light.
• Excessive audio volume may dis-
turb the sound of the function
warning alarm.

If other beeps such as the
seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override Lane
Keeping Assist alarming func-
tion, Lane Keeping Assist
beeps may not occur.
At high vehicle speeds, the
steering torque needed for
assistance may not be suffi-
cient to keep your vehicle
within the lane. If so, the vehi-
cle may move out of its lane.
Always obey the speed limit
when using Lane Keeping
Assist.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the function
