Kia Cadenza: Warning message and control / Detecting Sensor (front view camera/ rear corner radars)

Front view camera

The front view camera is a sensor detecting the lane. If the front view camera is covered by heavy rain, heavy snow and fog or foreign objects, dust, the system may temporarily be cancelled and not work properly until the cancellation due to the degradation of the sensor's detection performance. Always keep the sensor clean.

* Refer “Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)” for cautions for the front view camera.

Rear corner radars

The rear corner radars are the sensors inside the rear bumper for detecting the side/rear areas. Always keep the rear bumper clean for proper operation of the system.

CAUTION

• The system may not work properly when the bumper has been damaged, or if the rear bumper has been replaced or repaired.
• The sensing range differs somewhat according to the width of the road. When the road is narrow, the system may detect other vehicles in the next lane.
• On the other hand, when the road is wide, the system may not detect vehicles on both lanes and may not warn.
• The system may turn off if interfered by electromagnetic waves.
• Always keep the sensor or near the sensor clean.
• NEVER arbitrarily disassemble the sensor component nor apply any impact on the sensor component.
• Be careful not to apply unnecessary force on the radar sensor or near the sensor. If the sensor is forcibly moved out of proper alignment, the system may not operate correctly. In this case, a warning message may not be displayed. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
• Do not apply foreign objects such as a bumper sticker or a bumper guard near the radar sensor or apply paint to the sensor area. Doing so may adversely affect the performance of the sensor.
• NEVER install any accessories or stickers on the front windshield, nor tint the front windshield.
• Pay special attention to keep the camera sensor out of water.
• NEVER locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror) over the crash pad. Any light reflection may cause a malfunction of the system.
