Take the following precautions to maintain optimal performance of the detecting sensor:

• Never disassemble the rear corner radar or radar assembly, or apply any impact on it.

• If there is impact on the rear corner radar or near the radar, even though the warning message does not appear on the cluster, Blind-Spot Safety system may not operate properly. Have the function be inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

• If the rear corner radars have been replaced or repaired, have the vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

• The genuine Kia rear bumpers which the rear corner radar sensors are mounted are parts with quality and performance ensured. If arbitrarily applying paint on or changing the bumper, the Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not function properly.

  Use only Kia Genuine Parts or those of an equivalent standard with proven quality and performance to repair or replace the bumper.

• Do not apply license plate frame or objects, such as a bumper sticker, film or a bumper guard near the rear corner radar.

• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not work properly if the bumper has been replaced, or the surroundings of the rear corner radar has been damaged or paint has been applied.

• If a trailer, carrier or other equipments is installed, it may adversely affect the performance of the rear corner radar or the function may not operate.
