If an object remains directly in front of the in-cabin camera or between the driver and the camera for a certain period of time, Forward Attention Warning may not operate properly. In this situation, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster for several seconds, the Forward attention warning light () illuminates on the instrument cluster, and an audible warning sounds until normal operation is restored.
When the obstruction is removed or the camera can clearly detect the driver’s face again, the function should return to normal operation. If Forward Attention Warning still does not operate properly after the object is removed, have the function checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTE
-
Do not strike or apply impact to the camera surface or the area around the camera. If the in-cabin camera is damaged, Forward Attention Warning may not operate properly.
-
Do not place any object on the camera or in front of the camera while driving. Blocking the in-cabin camera may prevent the system from detecting the driver correctly.
-
When cleaning the camera, use a soft, clean cloth to avoid damaging the camera lens surface. Do not use sharp tools near the camera, and do not clean the camera with chemical products.
-
Keep the camera and the surrounding area clean and dry so the Kia Telluride can maintain proper Forward Attention Warning performance.
-
Do not attach foreign objects, including stickers or accessories, around the infrared LED located near the camera.

-
The outside brightness is low, or the vehicle is being driven at night
-
The vehicle is being driven inside a building or enclosed area, such as a basement parking area, garage, or tunnel
-
The camera case is partially damaged
