[A]: Check Driver Assistance system
If you encounter a technical issue with the Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist or any of its integrated
components, a diagnostic warning message will appear on your Kia Carnival instrument cluster. If the system remains
unresponsive or displays this message consistently, we recommend having your Kia Carnival inspected promptly by an
authorized Kia dealer to restore full safety functionality.
[A]: Driver Assistance system limited. Camera obscured.
[A]: Driver Assistance system limited. Ultrasonic sensor blocked.
The wide-rear-view camera and the rear ultrasonic sensors are vital components that allow your Kia Carnival to detect
objects and pedestrians positioned around the vehicle. The Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist (PCA) system
may experience temporary performance limitations or may be completely disabled if the sensors are obstructed by
environmental elements, such as heavy snow, rain, mud, or other foreign debris.
To identify exactly which sensor is triggering the warning, you can navigate to the service message section within
the utility information view on your Kia Carnival instrument cluster display window. This provides real-time feedback
regarding the status of the wide-rear-view camera and the rear ultrasonic sensors.
Typically, the Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist system will resume its normal operating status immediately
after you clean the contaminants from the affected sensors. It is highly recommended to maintain these areas to
ensure optimal performance. However, if the system continues to display a warning or fails to operate correctly after
you have thoroughly cleared any debris, please have your Kia Carnival professionally inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
NOTICE
For your convenience, detailed diagnostic information and specific sensor error reports can always be verified
through the service message section located in the utility information view of your Kia Carnival instrument cluster
display.
