REAR PARKING ASSIST SYS-

TEM (IF EQUIPPED)

Fuel filter warning light

(Diesel engine)

Overspeed warning

(if equipped)

Overspeed warning light

km/h

This warning light illuminates for 3 sec-

onds after the ignition switch is set to the

ON position and then it will go out. If it

lights up while the engine is running, it

indicates that water has accumulated

inside the fuel filter. If this happens,

remove the water from the fuel filter. For

more information, refer to “Fuel filter” in

section 7.

If you drive with the speed of 120 km/h or

more, the overspeed warning light will

blink. This is to prevent you from over-

speeding.

Rear parking assist system

OSA047060

D170000AEN

CAUTION

The rear parking assist system 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 intend-

ed 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 limit-

ed. Whenever backing-up, pay as much

attention to what is behind you as you

would in a vehicle without a rear parking

assist system.

When the fuel filter warning light is

illuminated, engine power (vehicle

speed & idle speed) may decrease.

If you keep driving with the warning

light on, you can damage your vehi-

cle's engine parts and injection sys-

tem of the Common Rail. If this

occurs, have your vehicle checked

by an authorized KIA dealer as

soon as possible.

Operation of the rear parking

assist system

Non-operational conditions of

rear parking assist system

WARNING

The rear parking assist system is a

supplementary function only. The

operation of the rear parking assist

system can be affected by several

factors (including environmental

conditions). It is the responsibility

of the driver to always check the

area behind the vehicle before and

while backing up.

D170101AEN

The rear parking assist system may

not operate properly when:

Operating condition

• This system will activate when backing

up with the ignition switch ON.

1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will

operate normally when the moisture

has been cleared.)

If the vehicle is moving at a speed over

5 km/h (3 mph), the system may not be

activated correctly.

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 material is removed

or the sensor is no longer blocked.)

• The sensing distance while the rear

parking 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 recognized first.

3. Driving on uneven road surfaces

(unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, gradi-

ent).

4. Objects generating excessive noise

(vehicle horns, loud motorcycle

engines, or truck air brakes) are within

range of the sensor.

D170102AEN

Types of warning sound

• When an object is 120 cm to 81 cm (47

in. to 32 in.) from the rear bumper:

Buzzer beeps intermittently

5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.

6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones

are within range of the sensor.

• When an object is 80 cm to 41 cm (31

in. to 16 in.) from the rear bumper:

Buzzer beeps more frequently

7. The sensor is covered with snow.

8. Trailer towing.

• When an object is within 40 cm (15 in.)

of the rear bumper:

Buzzer sounds continuously.

✽

NOTICE

Rear parking assist system pre-

cautions

This system can only sense objects with-

in the range and location of 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 between sensors may not

be detected by the sensors.

Always visually check behind the vehi-

cle when backing up.

Be sure to inform any drivers of the

vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the

system regarding the systems capabili-

ties and limitations.

1. The sensor is stained with foreign mat-

ter such as snow or water. (The sens-

ing range will return to normal when

removed.)

• The rear parking assist system may

not sound sequentially depending on

the speed and shapes of the objects

detected.

2. Outside air temperature is extremely

hot or cold.

• The rear parking assist system may

malfunction if the vehicle bumper

height or sensor installation has been

modified or damaged. Any non-factory

installed equipment or accessories

may also interfere with the sensor per-

formance.

The following objects may not be rec-

ognized by the sensor:

1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes,

chains or small poles.

2. Objects which tend to absorb the sen-

sor frequency such as clothes, spongy

material or snow.

• The sensor may not recognize objects

less than 40 cm (15 in.) from the sen-

sor, or it may sense an incorrect dis-

tance. Use caution.

WARNING

3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m

(40 in.) and narrower than 14 cm (6 in.)

in diameter.

Pay close attention when the vehi-

cle is driven close to objects on the

road, particularly pedestrians, and

especially children. Be aware that

some objects may not be detected

by the sensors, due to the object’s

distance, size or material, all of

which can limit the effectiveness of

the sensor. Always perform a visu-

al inspection to make sure the vehi-

cle is clear of all obstructions

before moving the vehicle in any

direction.

• When the sensor is frozen or stained

with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor

may be inoperative until the stains are

removed using a soft cloth.

• Do not push, scratch or strike the sen-

sor. Sensor damage could occur.
