If snow, rain, mud, ice, or other foreign material accumulates around the rear bumper near the rear corner radar sensors, or if a trailer, bicycle rack, cargo carrier, or similar accessory obstructs the sensors, the detection capability of Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may be temporarily reduced. Under these conditions, the Kia Telluride may limit or disable the system until normal sensor operation is restored.
When this occurs, a warning message together with the Master Warning light () is displayed on the instrument cluster. This notification indicates that the sensors are temporarily restricted and does not necessarily mean that the system has failed.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist should resume normal operation after the rear corner radar sensors are cleaned, any accumulated snow, rain, dirt, or debris is removed, and any obstruction such as a trailer or carrier has been detached. Restarting the Kia Telluride after clearing the obstruction may also be required. Keeping the sensor areas clean helps maintain reliable performance.
If the system continues to remain unavailable even after the sensors have been cleaned and all external obstructions have been removed, have the Kia Telluride inspected by an authorized Kia dealer to determine the cause of the problem.
WARNING
-
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may still be unable to operate correctly even if no warning message is temporarily displayed on the instrument cluster.
-
The system may also be temporarily limited immediately after the vehicle is turned ON, especially in open areas where nearby objects are not detected or when the radar sensors are blocked by snow, ice, mud, or other foreign material.
WARNING
Turn OFF Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist before installing or removing a trailer, cargo carrier, or other rear-mounted accessory. Once the installation or removal is complete, turn the system back ON before driving your Kia Telluride.
TIP
You can verify the current operating status of Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist through the Service Messages section in the Utility Information View of the instrument cluster display.
