Kia Carens: Rear parking assist system / Rear parking assist system precautions
- The rear parking assist system may not sound sequentially depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects detected.
- The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumper height
or sensor installation has been modified or damaged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may also interfere with the sensor performance.
- The sensor may not recognize objects less than 30 cm (11.8 in.) from the
sensor, or it may sense an incorrect distance. Use caution.
- When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor
may be inoperative until the stains are removed using a soft cloth.
- Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could occur.

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, such as poles or objects located between sensors may not
be detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the vehicle when backing up. Be sure to inform
any drivers of the vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the system regarding the
systems capabilities and limitations.

inspection to make sure the vehicle is clear of all obstructions before moving the
vehicle in any direction.
