The Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) system is turned off.
Radar Blocked
• This warning message may appear when:
- One or both of the sensors on the rear bumper are blocked by mud, snow, or a foreign object.
- A trailer or carrier is installed.
- Driving in rural areas where the sensor does not detect other vehicles for a long period of time.
- Bad weather conditions such as heavy snow or rain.
If any of these conditions occur, the blind-spot safety button light and the system will turn off automatically.
When the BCW disabled warning message is displayed in the instrument cluster, check that the rear bumper is clean of mud and snow in the areas where the sensor is located. Remove any mud, snow, or foreign objects that may interfere with the radar sensors.
After the mud or debris is removed, the BCA will operate normally after restarting the engine.
If the BCW/BCA still does not operate normally, have your vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
