Kia Stinger CK: Features of your vehicle / Parking distance warning - reverse

• Parking distance warningreverse precautions

The rear 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 (1) 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.

WARNING

The parking distance warningreverse is a supplementary function only. The operation of the parking distance warningreverse 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.

Operation of the parking distance warning-reverse

Operating condition

• This system will activate when the indicator on the parking distance warning-reverse OFF button is not illuminated. If you desire to deactivate the parking distance warningreverse, press the distance warning- reverse 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 parking distance warning-reverse 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.

✽ NOTICE

The indicator may differ from the illustration as objects or sensors status.

If the indicator blinks, the system should be checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

Non-operational conditions of parking distance warningreverse

The parking distance warningreverse 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 material 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 motorcycle engines, or truck air brakes) are within range of the sensor.

5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.

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.
