Kia Cadenza: Driver Attention Warning (DAW) / System malfunction

When the “Check Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system” warning message appears, the system is not working properly. In this case, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked.

WARNING

• Driver Attention Warning is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function only. It is the responsibility of the driver to always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. Pay attention to the road conditions at all times.
• The driver, who feels fatigued, should take a break, even though there is no break suggestion by Driver Attention Warning.

✽ NOTICE

Driver Attention Warning utilizes the front view camera sensor on the front windshield for its operation. To keep the front view camera sensor in the best condition, you should observe the followings:

- Do not disassemble camera temporarily for tinted window or attaching any types of coatings and accessories. If you disassemble a camera and assemble it again, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked to need a calibration.
- Do not locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror) over the dashboard. Any light reflection may cause a mal-function of Driver Attention Warning.
- Pay extreme caution to keep the front view camera out of water.
- Do not arbitrarily disassemble the camera assembly, nor apply any impact on the camera assembly.

• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may offset the Driver Attention Warning warning sounds.

For more information of front view camera, refer to “Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)”.

✽ NOTICE

Driver Attention Warning may not properly operate with limited alerting in the following situations:

• The system will not operate for about 15 seconds when restarting the engine or initializing the front view camera such as rebooting, etc.
• The lane detection performance is limited. (For more information, refer to "Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)" in this chapter.)
• The vehicle is violently driven or is abruptly turned for obstacle avoidance (e.g. construction area, other vehicles, fallen objects, bumpy road).
• Intentionally frequent lane cut-in
