The parking distance warning-reverse
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
any object is sensed within a distance
of 120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
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
back sensors are limited. Whenever
backing-up, pay as much attention to
what is behind you as you would in a
vehicle without a parking distance
warning-reverse.
Operation of the parking dis-
tance warning-reverse
Operating condition
This system will activate when the
indicator on the rear parking assist
OFF button is not illuminated. If
you desire to deactivate the park-
ing distance warning-reverse,
press the rear parking assist OFF
button again. (The indicator on the
button will illuminate.) To turn the
system on, press the button again.
(The indicator on the button will go
off.)
This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch
ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system
may not be activated correctly.
The sensing distance while the back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 120 cm (47
in.) at the rear bumper center area,
60 cm (23.5 in.) at the rear bumper
both side area.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
PARKING DISTANCE WARNING-REVERSE (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
-
Parking distance warning-
reverse
Never rely solely on the parking
distance warning-reverse.
Always perform a visual inspec-
tion to make sure the vehicle is
clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion. 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 mate-
rial.

Types of warning sound
When an object is 120 cm to 61 cm(47 in. to 24 in.) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps intermit-
tently.
When an object is 60 cm to 31 cm (24 in. to 12 in.) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps more fre-
quently.
When an object is within 30 cm (12 in.) of the rear bumper : Buzzer
sounds continuously.
Non-operational conditions of
the parking distance warning-
reverse
The parking distance warning-
reverse may not operate properly
when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2. The 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. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes)
are within range of the sensor.
5. The weather conditions produce heavy rain or water spray. 6. Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are within range of the
sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing

The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
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 the sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in height and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.Parking distance warning-
reverse precautions
The parking distance warning-reverse may not sound consistent-
ly depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
The parking distance warning- reverse may malfunction if the vehi-
cle bumper height or sensor instal-
lation has been modified or dam-
aged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may also
interfere with the sensor perform-
ance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or cov- ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until the
material is removed using a soft
cloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors. It cannot detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be detected
by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.

Self-diagnosis
If you don’t hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently when shifting the gear to the
R (Reverse) position, this may indi-
cate a malfunction in the parking dis-
tance warning-reverse. If this occurs,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as
possible.
✽ ✽NOTICE
Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle or injuries to its occu-
pants due to a parking distance
warning-reverse malfunction.
Always drive safely and cautiously.

The parking distance warning assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 100 cm
(39 in) in front or behind the vehicle. The sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever moving, pay as much
attention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking distance warn-
ing.

WARNING - Parking dis-
tance warning
The parking distance warning is not a substitute for proper
and safe parking and backing-
up procedures. Always drive
safely and use caution when
parking. The parking distance
warning may not detect every
object behind or in front of the
vehicle.
Never rely solely on the park- ing distance warning. Always
perform a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear
of all obstructions before mov-
ing the vehicle in any direc-
tion. 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.

Operation of the parking dis-
tance warning
Operating condition
This system activates when theparking assist button is pressed with
the Engine Start/Stop Button ON.
The parking assist button turns on automatically and activates the park-
ing distance warning when you shift
the gear to the R (Reverse) position. The sensing distance while back-
ing up is approximately 100 cm (39
in.) when you are driving less than
10 km/h (6.2 mph).
The sensing distance while moving forward is approximately 100 cm
(39 in.) when you are driving less
than 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
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 an object
if the distance from the object is
already less than approximately 25
cm (10 in.) when the system is
turned ON.OYP048063N

Features of your vehicle
The rear view monitor will activate
with the ignition switch ON and the
shift lever in the R (Reverse) position.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that shows behind the vehicle
through an AVN monitor while back-
ing up. This system is a supplementary
function only. It is the responsibility
of the driver to always check the
inside/outside rearview mirrors and
the area behind the vehicle before
and while backing up because
there is a dead zone that can't be
seen by the camera.
Always keep the camera lens clean. If lens is covered with for-
eign matter, the camera may not
operate normally.
REAR VIEW MONITOR (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Backing up &
using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
camera when backing up. You
must always view the areas
behind you including looking
over both shoulders as well as
continuously checking all three
rear view mirrors. Due to the dif-
ficulty of ensuring that the areas
behind you remains clear, always
back up slowly and stop immedi-
ately if you even suspect that a
person, and especially a child,
might be behind you.
