Kia Sportage: Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA): (if equipped)

The detection range can vary with your vehicle’s speed. A vehicle may be present in the blind spot without triggering a warning if you pass it at high speed.

Warning timing depends on how quickly the other vehicle is approaching, so the alert may be given earlier or later as the relative speed changes.

• Do not disassemble or damage the detecting sensor assembly.

• If a sensor or the area around it has been damaged or struck, BCA may not work correctly even if no warning appears on the instrument cluster. Have the system inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends contacting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

• If a detecting sensor has been replaced or repaired, have the vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends contacting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

• The genuine Kia rear bumper, where the rear corner radar sensors are mounted, is designed to meet the required quality and performance standards. Applying paint or making unauthorised changes to the bumper may prevent BCA from working correctly. For repairs or replacement, use Kia Genuine Parts or parts of an equivalent standard with proven quality and performance.

• BCA may not work correctly if the bumper has been replaced, or if the area around a rear corner radar has been damaged or repainted.

• Do not fit a licence plate frame or place objects such as stickers, film or a bumper guard near a rear corner radar.

• A trailer, carrier or similar equipment may affect rear corner radar performance or prevent BCA from operating.
