Kia Sportage: Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist Operation

Turning On or Off

Press and hold the Parking Safety button () for more than two seconds to switch Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist on or off.

Operating Conditions

If Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist detects a possible collision with a pedestrian or object around the Kia Sportage, it alerts the driver with an audible warning and a message in the instrument cluster. If the infotainment screen is on, a warning also appears there.

If a collision is imminent, the system can assist with braking.

Select Rear Safety from the Parking Safety menu in the infotainment system. Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist is available when all of the following conditions are met:

• The tailgate and all doors are closed.
• The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is released.
• The gear is shifted to R (Reverse).
• The vehicle is travelling below 10 km/h (6 mph) when detecting pedestrians.
• The vehicle is travelling below 4 km/h (2 mph) when detecting objects.
• The system components, including the wide-rear-view camera and rear ultrasonic sensors, are operating normally.

  When Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist is active, a line appears behind the vehicle image in the instrument cluster.

NOTE

• Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist operates once after the gear is shifted to R (Reverse). To activate it again, shift to another gear and then back to R.
• If the system applies braking while you are reversing, braking control is released after five minutes and the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is applied.

Conditions for Ending Assistance

Braking assistance ends after five minutes. Press the brake pedal immediately and check the area around the Kia Sportage.

Braking assistance also ends under either of these conditions:

• The gear is shifted to P (Park) or D (Drive).
• You press the brake pedal with sufficient force.

The warning is cancelled when the gear is shifted to P (Park), N (Neutral), or D (Drive).
