Kia Cadenza: Detecting Sensor (front view camera/front radar) / Smart Cruise Control malfunction message

The message will appear when the headway control is not functioning normally.

Take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked.

CAUTION

• Do not install accessories around the sensor and do not replace the bumper by yourself. It may interfere with the sensor performance.
• Always keep the sensor and bumper clean.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized water directly on the sensor or sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unnecessary force on the radar sensor or sensor cover. If the sensor is forcibly moved out of proper alignment, Smart Cruise Control may not operate correctly. In this case, a warning message may not be displayed. Have the system checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
• Do not damage the sensor or sensor area by a strong impact. If the sensor moves slightly off position, Smart Cruise Control will not operate correctly without any warning or indicator from the cluster. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible.
• Use only a genuine Kia sensor cover for your vehicle. Do not paint anything on the sensor cover.
• If the front bumper becomes damaged in the area around the radar sensor, Smart Cruise Control may not operate properly.
• To prevent sensor cover damage from occurring, wash the car with a soft cloth.
• Do not tint the window or install stickers, accessories around the inside mirror where the camera is installed.
• Make sure the frontal camera installation point does not get wet.
• Do not place reflective objects(white paper or mirror etc.) on the crash pad. FCA may activate unnecessarily due to reflect of the sunlight.
• Do not impact or arbitrarily remove any front view camera components.
