Kia EV2: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction and limitations / Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction

Check Driver Assistance system

When Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is not working properly, the Master warning light (), the Forward Safety warning light (), and the Emergency Steering warning light () appear on the instrument cluster, along with a warning message that lasts for several seconds. Have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner to keep your Kia EV2 operating at peak safety performance.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled

	Driver Assistance system limited. Camera obscured.
	Driver Assistance system limited. Radar blocked.

When foreign material (such as snow or rain) covers the windscreen where the front view camera is located, the front radar cover, the bumper, or the sensor, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist in your Kia EV2.

If this occurs, a warning message, the Forward Safety warning light (), the Emergency Steering warning light (), and the Master warning light () display on the instrument cluster.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist should operate properly when you remove foreign material (such as snow or rain) from the sensor.

If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist still does not operate properly after you remove foreign material (such as snow or rain) from the sensor or obstructions (such as a trailer or carrier) from the rear bumper, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

WARNING

• Immediately after starting the vehicle, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate normally if the recognition sensors are contaminated or if there are no objects around the vehicle (for example, in an open area with an unobstructed view ahead).

• If the vehicle is turned off and restarted whilst the sensors are blocked or malfunctioning, the blocked or malfunction state may remain, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate normally.

• Even when the warning message or warning light does not appear on the instrument cluster, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly.

TIP

You can check the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist status in the service message of the utility information view of the instrument cluster display window.
