Driving your vehicle

If the system does not work properly,
a warning message will appear and
the light on the switch will turn off.
The system will turn off automatical-
ly.

Have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING

• The warning light on the out-

side rearview mirror housing
will illuminate whenever a
vehicle is detected at the rear
side by the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surroundings of the vehicle.

• Drive safely even though the

vehicle is equipped with a
BSD (Blind spot detection)
system. Do not solely rely on
the system but check for your-
self before changing lanes.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check the surround-
ings while driving.

CAUTION

• The system may not work

properly if the bumper has
been replaced or if repair work
has been done near the sen-
sor.

• The detection area differs

according to the roads width.
If the road is narrow the sys-
tem may detect other vehicles
in the next lane.

• To the contrary, if the road is

very wide the system may not
detect other vehicles.

• The system may turn off due

to strong electromagnetic
waves.
