Sensor to detect the distance
from the vehicle in front
(front radar)
The sensor detects the distance to
the vehicle in front. However, a for-
eign substances on the sensor lens,
such as snow and rain, may adverse-
ly affect the sensing performance. It
may even temporarily cancel the
AEB. Always keep the sensor lens
clean. Do not apply license plate molding
or foreign objects such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper guard
near the radar sensor. Doing so
may adversely affect the sensing
performance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor and cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or sen-
sor cover.
Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper align-
ment, the AEB system may not
operate correctly. In this case, a
warning message may not be dis-
played. Have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
If the front bumper becomes dam- aged in the area around the radar
sensor, the AEB system may not
operate properly. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer. Use only genuine Kia parts to
repair or replace a damaged sen-
sor or sensor cover. Do not apply
paint to the sensor cover.
NEVER install any accessories or stickers on the front windshield,
nor tint the front windshield.
NEVER locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may cause a malfunction
of the system.
Pay extreme caution to keep the camera out of water.
NEVER disassemble the camera assembly, nor apply any impact on
the camera assembly.
Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may offset the system
warning sounds.
