WARNING

  • Avoid utilizing the automated sensing capabilities when towing a heavy trailer, hauling a caravan, or mounting equipment that interferes with radar reflection, sensor alignment, or the overall weight distribution of your Kia EV2.

  • Towing an external load or installing a bulky roof carrier can compromise handling precision and directional control. When operating under such conditions, manually disable the automated safety functions and practice heightened driving caution.

  • The Rear Parking Distance Warning mechanism may exhibit restricted performance or fail to scan correctly when a trailer, equipment rack, or towed vehicle is attached. Refrain from relying on the system during these specific operational scenarios.

  • Ensure you properly configure the designated trailer or accessory menu within your Kia EV2 interface whenever attaching extra cargo equipment. Genuine accessory recognition or manual menu adjustments may restrict certain driver assistance features, so always review safety limitations and maintain attentive manual control.
