Kia Picanto: Radar type autonomous emergency braking / Sensor to detect the distance from the vehicle in front (front radar)

Kia Picanto JA 2017-2025 Owner's Manual / Driving your vehicle / Radar type autonomous emergency braking / Sensor to detect the distance from the vehicle in front (front radar)

The sensor is to maintain a certain distance from the vehicle in front. However, the smudged sensor with foreign substances, such as snow and rain, adversely affects the sensing performance. It may even temporarily cancel the AEB. Always keep the sensor clean.

Warning message and warning light

When the sensor cover is smudged with the foreign substances, such as snow or rain, the AEB operation may temporarily stop. In this case, the warning message appears to warn the driver. This is not a malfunction with the AEB. To operate the AEB again, remove the foreign substances.

If the sensor is smudged entirely or no object is sensed (in an open terrain etc.), The AEB might not operate normally.
