Kia Picanto: Driver Attention Warning (DAW): (if equipped) / Driver Attention Warning malfunction and limitations

Driver Attention Warning malfunction

A: Check Driver Attention Warning system

If Driver Attention Warning detects a fault, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster for a limited time and the Master warning light () illuminates.

If this happens, have the system inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends contacting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

Driver Attention Warning disabled

A: Driver Assistance system limited. Camera obscured.

Snow, rain or other material covering the sensors or the windscreen in front of the camera can reduce detection performance and temporarily limit or disable Driver Attention Warning.

If this occurs, a warning message and the Master warning light () appear on the instrument cluster. This indicates that system operation is limited.

Clear the snow, rain or other material from the affected area. Driver Attention Warning should resume normal operation once the obstruction has been removed. Keep the camera area clean.

If the system does not work correctly after the obstruction has been cleared, have it inspected by an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

WARNING

Limitations of Driver Attention Warning

Driver Attention Warning may not assess driving patterns accurately in the following situations:

• The Kia Picanto is driven aggressively or with frequent abrupt manoeuvres.

• The vehicle repeatedly crosses lane markings on purpose.

• A driver assistance function, such as Lane Keeping Assist, is controlling the vehicle.

• Lane markings are faint, blurred or no longer visible.

Leading Vehicle Departure Alert function

• When another vehicle cuts in

  A: Your vehicle; B: Vehicle ahead

  If another vehicle moves into the space in front of the Kia Picanto, Leading Vehicle Departure Alert may not identify the correct vehicle or operate as expected.

• When the vehicle ahead turns sharply

  A: Your vehicle; B: Vehicle ahead

  If the vehicle in front turns sharply, such as when turning left or right or making a U-turn, Leading Vehicle Departure Alert may not operate correctly.

• When the vehicle ahead moves off abruptly

  If the vehicle ahead pulls away suddenly, Leading Vehicle Departure Alert may not respond as intended.

• When a pedestrian or bicycle is between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead

  If a pedestrian or bicycle is between the Kia Picanto and the vehicle in front, Leading Vehicle Departure Alert may not operate correctly.

• In a car park

  If a parked vehicle in front of the Kia Picanto drives away, Leading Vehicle Departure Alert may interpret this movement as the vehicle ahead pulling off and issue an alert.

• At a tollgate or intersection

  Leading Vehicle Departure Alert may not operate correctly when passing through a busy tollgate or intersection, or where lanes frequently merge or divide.
