Kia Forte: Features of your vehicle / Reverse parking distance warning

The reverse parking distance warning assists the driver during backward movement of the vehicle by chiming if any object is sensed within a distance of 120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.

This system is a supplemental system and is not intended to, nor does it, replace the need for the driver's extreme care and attention. The sensing range and objects detectable by the back sensors (➀) are limited. Whenever backing-up, pay as much attention to what is behind you as you would in a vehicle without a reverse parking distance warning.

WARNING - Reverse parking distance warning

Never rely solely on the reverse parking distance warning. Always perform a visual inspection to make sure the vehicle is clear of all obstructions before moving the vehicle in any direction. Stop immediately if you are aware of a child anywhere near your vehicle. Some objects may not be detected by the sensors, due to the object's size or material.
