If the front windshield area where the Kia EV6 front view camera is installed, the front radar cover, bumper, or related sensors become covered with snow, rain, mud, dirt, ice, or other foreign material, the detection performance of Driver Attention Warning may be reduced.
Under these conditions, the Kia EV6 Driver Attention Warning function may become temporarily limited or disabled.
If this occurs, a warning message and the Master Warning light () will appear on the
instrument cluster,
but this does not necessarily indicate a permanent malfunction.
Kia EV6 Driver Attention Warning should operate normally again after the obstruction or foreign material is removed. Always keep the windshield camera area and sensors clean.
If Driver Attention Warning still does not operate properly after removing snow, rain, dirt, trailers, carriers, or other obstructions, have the Kia EV6 inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

Other information:
When the airbags in the Kia EV6 deploy, a loud noise will be heard and smoke or powder may appear inside the cabin. This is a normal result of the airbag inflator operation and does not indicate a fire. Following deployment, occupants may experience temporary breathing discomfort caused by the force of the seat belt, airbag deployment, and exposure to the harmless smoke and powder released during inflation.Range guide Distance to empty Distance to empty (low energy economy) Energy economy gauge Distance to empty (high energy economy) The Kia EV6 Range Guide is designed to help drivers achieve more efficient and economical electric driving by analyzing current energy usage and historical driving data.
