Kia Stinger: Parking distance warning - reverse / Parking distance warningreverse precautions
- The parking distance warningreverse may not sound consistently depending
on the speed and shapes of the objects detected.
- The parking distance warningreverse 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 performance.
- The sensor may not recognize objects less than 30 cm (11 in.) from the sensor,
or it may sense an incorrect distance. Use caution.
- 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 sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
✽ NOTICE
This system can only sense objects within 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 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.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehicle 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 visual
inspection to make sure the vehicle is clear of all obstructions before moving the
vehicle in any direction.
Self-diagnosis
If you don’t hear an audible warning sound or if the buzzer sounds intermittently
when shifting the gear to the R (Reverse) position, this may indicate a malfunction
in the parking distance 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 occupants due to a parking distance warning-reverse malfunction.
Always drive safely and cautiously.
