Kia K900: Non-operational conditions of parking assist system - Parking assist system - Features of your vehicle - KIA K900 2014-2024 Owner's ManualKia K900: Non-operational conditions of parking assist system

Parking assist system may not operate normally when:

1.Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when moisture melts.)

2.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.Sensor is stained with foreign matter such as snow or water. (Sensing range will return to normal when removed.)

4.The parking assist button is off.

There is a possibility of parking assist system malfunction when:

1.Driving on uneven road surfaces such as unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, or gradient.

2.Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud motorcycle engines, or truck air brakes can interfere with the sensor.

3.Heavy rain or water spray.

4.Wireless transmitters or mobile phones present near the sensor.

5.Sensor is covered with snow.

Detecting range may decrease when:

1.Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.

2.Undetectable objects smaller than 39 in (1 m) and narrower than 5.5 in (14 cm) in diameter.

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 sensor frequency such as clothes, spongy material or snow.

✽ NOTICE

1. The warning may not sound sequentially depending on the speed and shapes of the objects detected.

2. The parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumper height or sensor installation has been modified. Any non-factory installed equipment or accessories may also interfere with the sensor performance.

3. Sensor may not recognize objects less than 12 in (30 cm) from the sensor, or it may sense an incorrect distance. Use with caution. 4. When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow or water, the sensor may be inoperative until the stains are removed using a soft cloth.

5. Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor with any hard objects that could damage the surface of 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, or objects located between sensors may not be detected. Always visually check in front and behind the vehicle when driving. Be sure to inform any drivers in the vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the system regarding the system’s 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 objects 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.
