REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The rear parkinþ assist system assists
the driver durinþ backward movement oý the vehicle by chiminþ iý any object is
sensed within a distance oý 120 cm
(47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system and it is not intended to nor does it re‐
place the need ýor extreme care and
attention oý the driver. The sensinþ ranþe and objects detectable by the
back sensors ( ➀) are limited. Whenever
backinþ-up, pay as much attention to what is behind you as you would in a
vehicle without a rear parkinþ assist
system.
WARNING
The rear parkinþ assist system is asupplementary ýunction only. Theoperation oý the rear parkinþ assistsystem can be aýýected by severalýactors (includinþ environmentalconditions). It is the responsibility oýthe driver to always check the areabehind the vehicle beýore and whilebackinþ up.
Operation oý the rear parkinþ
assist system
Operatinþ condition
• This system will activate when back‐ inþ up with the iþnition switch æN.
Iý the vehicle is movinþ at a speed
over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system may not be activated correctly.
• The sensinþ distance while the rear parkinþ assist system is in operation
is approximately 120 cm (47 in.).
• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recoþnized ýirst.
Types oý warninþ soundIndicator*
When an object is 120 cm to 61 cm(47 in . to 24 in.) ýrom the
rear bumper:Buzzer beeps intermit‐tently.
When an object is 60 cm to 31 cm
(23 in. to 12 in.) ýrom the
rear bumper:
Buzzer beeps more ýre‐quently.
When an object is within
30 cm (11 in.) oý the rearbumper:

tem checked by a proýessional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Non-operational conditions oý
rear parkinþ assist system
The rear parkinþ assist systemmay not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is ýrozen to the sensor. (Itwill operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with ýoreiþn 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
lonþer blocked.)
3. Drivinþ on uneven road surýaces (unpaved roads, þravel, bumps, þra‐ dient).
4. æbjects þeneratinþ excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcycle en‐
þines, or truck air brakes) are with‐
in ranþe oý the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists. 6. Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are within ranþe oý the
sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towinþ.
The detectinþ ranþe may decreasewhen:
1. The sensor is stained with ýoreiþn matter such as snow or water. (The
sensinþ ranþe will return to normal
when removed.)
2. æutside air temperature is ex‐ tremely hot or cold.
The ýollowinþ objects may not berecoþnized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. æbjects which tend to absorb the sensor ýrequency such as clothes,
sponþy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in heiþht and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.
Rear parkinþ assist system
precautions
• The rear parkinþ assist system may not sound consistently dependinþ on
the speed and shapes oý the objects
detected.
• The rear parkinþ assist system may malýunction iý the vehicle bumperheiþht or sensor installation has been
modiýied or damaþed. Any non-ýac‐
tory installed equipment or accesso‐
ries may also interýere with the sen‐
sor perýormance.
• The sensor may not recoþnize ob‐ jects less than 30 cm (12 in.) ýrom
the sensor, or it may sense an incor‐
rect distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is ýrozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor
may be inoperative until the stains are removed usinþ a soýt cloth.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damaþe could occur.

NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the ranþe and location oý the
sensors; It can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located be‐
tween sensors may not be detected
by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the ve‐
hicle when backinþ up.
Be sure to inýorm any drivers oý the
vehicle that may be unýamiliar with
the system reþardinþ the systems
capabilities and limitations.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehicleis driven close to objects on the road,particularly pedestrians, and espe‐cially children. Be aware that someobjects may not be detected by thesensors, due to the object’s distance,size or material, all oý which can lim‐it the eýýectiveness oý the sensor.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Always perýorm a visual inspectionto make sure the vehicle is clear oýall obstructions beýore movinþ thevehicle in any direction.
Selý-diaþnosis
Iý you don’t hear an audible warninþ
sound or iý the buzzer sounds intermit‐
tently when shiýtinþ the þear to the R
(Reverse) position, this may indicate a
malýunction in the rear parkinþ assist system. Iý this occurs, have the system
checked by a proýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does notcover any accidents or damaþe tothe vehicle or injuries to its occu‐pants due to a rear parkinþ assistsystem malýunction. Always drivesaýely and cautiously.

BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakesthat adjust automatically throuþh nor‐
mal usaþe.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because oý a stalled enþine or some other reason, you can
still stop your vehicle by applyinþ
þreater ýorce to the brake pedal than you normally would. The stoppinþ dis‐
tance, however, will be lonþer.
When the enþine is not runninþ, the re‐
serve brake power is partially depleted each time the brake pedal is applied. Do
not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
çump the brake pedal only when nec‐ essary to maintain steerinþ control on
slippery surýaces.
WARNING
nBrakes
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not drive with your ýoot restinþon the brake pedal. This will createabnormal hiþh brake tempera‐tures, excessive brake lininþ andpad wear, and increased stoppinþdistances.
•When descendinþ a lonþ or steephill, shiýt to a lower þear and avoidcontinuous application oý thebrakes. Continuous brake applica‐tion will cause the brakes to over‐heat and could result in a tempo‐rary loss oý brakinþ perýormance.
•Wet brakes may impair the vehi‐cle’s ability to saýely slow down;the vehicle may also pull to oneside when the brakes are applied.Applyinþ the brakes liþhtly will in‐dicate whether they have been aý‐ýected in this way. Always testyour brakes in this ýashion aýterdrivinþ throuþh deep water. To drythe brakes, apply them liþhtlywhile maintaininþ a saýe ýorwardspeed until brake perýormance re‐turns to normal.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Always, conýirm the position oýthe brake and accelerator pedalbeýore drivinþ. Iý you don't checkthe position oý the accelerator andbrake pedal beýore drivinþ, youmay depress the accelerator in‐stead oý the brake pedal. It maycause a serious accident.
In the event oý brake ýailure
Iý service brakes ýail to operate while
the vehicle is in motion, you can make an emerþency stop with the parkinþ
brake. The stoppinþ distance, however,
will be much þreater than normal.
WARNING
nParkinþ brake

•When there is a malýunction withthe AEB, the brakinþ control doesnot operate upon detectinþ a colli‐sion risk even with other brakinþsystems normally operatinþ.
•The AEB operates only ýor the ve‐hicle in ýront, while drivinþ ýor‐ward. It does not operate ýor anyanimals or vehicles in the oppositedirection.
•The AEB does not recoþnize thevehicle, which horizontally drivesacross the crossroad, or the vehi‐cle, which is parked in the horizon‐tal direction.
•Iý the vehicle ahead suddenlystops, there is a risk oý collision.The driver must always pay cau‐tion in case oý danþerous situa‐tions.
•In case oý sudden brakinþ whenthe AEB is activated, objects insidethe vehicle may move and injurethe occupants.
•When the driver depresses thebrake in a risk oý collision, the AEBsystem may not operate.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•The AEB may not operate due todrivinþ or traýýic condition, weath‐er, and road condition.
•The AEB may not operate in all ve‐hicles.
Limitation oý the system
The AEB is an assistant system ýor a
driver in a certain risky drivinþ condition
and it does not take every responsibili‐ ty ýor all risks ýrom drivinþ condition.
The AEB monitors the drivinþ situations
throuþh the radar. Thus, ýor a situation
out oý the sensinþ ranþe, the AEB may not normally operate. The driver should
pay þreat caution in the ýollowinþ sit‐
uations. The AEB operation may be limited.
