Kia EV6: Rear Cross-traffic Collision-avoidance Assist (RCCA): (if equipped) / Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction and limitations

• Even if no warning message appears on the Kia EV6 instrument cluster, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may still not operate properly under certain conditions.

• The Kia EV6 Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist system may not function correctly in open terrain or environments where nearby objects or vehicles cannot be detected immediately after vehicle startup.

Turn OFF Kia EV6 Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist before installing or removing a trailer, bicycle carrier, cargo rack, or similar attachment. Turn the system back ON after installation or removal is complete.

For additional information regarding Kia EV6 rear corner radar operation and detection performance, refer to Blind-spot Collision-avoidance Assist (BCA).

• You are driving near a vehicle or structure

  Structure

  The Kia EV6 Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist system may become restricted when reversing close to parked vehicles, walls, pillars, fences, or large structures. In these situations, the system may fail to properly detect an approaching vehicle from the left or right side.

  If this occurs, the Kia EV6 may not issue a warning or automatically apply braking assistance when needed.

  Always visually inspect the surroundings carefully while backing up.

• The vehicle is in a complex parking environment

  The Kia EV6 system may detect vehicles that are parking, reversing, turning, or pulling away near your vehicle, including vehicles exiting adjacent parking spaces.

  Under these complex parking conditions, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may provide unnecessary warnings or unexpectedly activate brake control.

  Always monitor the surroundings directly and reverse cautiously.

• The vehicle is parked diagonally

  Vehicle

  When the Kia EV6 is parked diagonally or at an unusual angle, the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist system may have difficulty detecting approaching traffic from either side.

  In this case, the system may not provide timely warnings or automatic brake intervention.

  Always confirm the area behind the Kia EV6 is clear before reversing.

• The vehicle is on or near a slope

  Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist in the Kia EV6 may not operate properly when the vehicle is positioned on steep uphill or downhill grades, or when reversing near a sloped surface.

  The system may fail to recognize vehicles approaching from the left or right side in these situations.

  Always maintain awareness of surrounding traffic while backing up the Kia EV6.

• Pulling into the parking space where there is a structure

  Structure Wall

  While reversing the Kia EV6 into a parking space near walls, columns, or structures, the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist system may detect vehicles traveling in front of the vehicle.

  This can result in unnecessary warning messages or unexpected automatic braking intervention.

  Always verify the surroundings manually while parking the Kia EV6.

• The vehicle is parked backward

  The Kia EV6 Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist system may detect vehicles moving behind the vehicle while reversing into a parking space.

  In certain situations, this may cause unnecessary alerts or temporary brake control activation.

  Always check behind the Kia EV6 carefully before and during reversing maneuvers.

• When towing a trailer or another vehicle with the Kia EV6, turn OFF Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist for safety and to prevent false warnings.

• Kia EV6 Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate correctly if affected by strong electromagnetic interference or nearby electronic equipment.

• The Kia EV6 system may require approximately 3 seconds after startup or radar initialization before Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist becomes fully operational.

• Even after restarting the Kia EV6, if the radar sensors remain blocked or malfunctioning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may continue to operate improperly because the previous settings are retained.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this Kia EV6 equipment and related driver assistance systems.
