Kia Picanto: Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction and limitations / Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction

A: Check Blind-Spot Safety system

If Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist in the Kia Picanto detects a system fault, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster for a limited time and the Master warning light () illuminates.

Have the system inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends contacting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

A: Check side view mirror warning light

If an outside rear-view mirror warning light is not working correctly, a message appears on the instrument cluster for a limited time and the Master warning light () illuminates. Have Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends contacting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled

A: Blind-Spot Safety system disabled. Radar blocked.

Snow, rain or other material covering the rear bumper around a rear corner radar sensor can reduce its ability to detect vehicles. A trailer, carrier or similar attachment may also affect detection, temporarily limiting or disabling Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist.

When this happens, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster along with the Master warning light (). This message does not necessarily indicate a system fault; it may mean that detection is temporarily obstructed.

Remove the snow, rain or other material, or remove the trailer or attachment, then restart the Kia Picanto. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist should operate normally once the obstruction is cleared and the vehicle has been restarted.

If the system still does not work correctly after the obstruction or attachment has been removed, have it inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends contacting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.
