Kia Sportage: Features of your vehicle / Rear parking assist system
The rear parking assist system assists the driver during backward movement of
the vehicle by chiming if any object is sensed within a distance of 47 in. (120
cm) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system and it is not intended to nor does it replace
the need for extreme care and attention of the driver. The sensing range and objects
detectable by the back sensors (➀) are limited. Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as you would in a vehicle without a rear parking
assist system.
WARNING - Rear parking assist system
Never rely solely on the rear parking assist system. Always perform a visual
inspection to make sure the vehicle is clear of all obstructions before moving the
vehicle in any direction. Stop immediately if you are aware of a child anywhere
near your vehicle. Some objects may not be detected by the sensors, due to the object's
size or material.
