Kia Driver Assist Service

What to Expect

During a repair service, your system may just need one or more sensors to be replaced so that you can drive your Kia with assistance. During the service, a certified technician will inspect all features of your driving assistance system and see where radar sensors are failing. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)
• High Beam Assist (HBA)
• Low Beam Assist (LBA)
• Smart Cruise Control (SCC>
• Lane Following Assist (LFA)
• Highway Driving Assisst(HDA)

Once they determine which sensor(s) need to be replaced, they will use OEM Kia parts and replace the sensor. Before returning your Kia back to you, they will test them to ensure the sensors are working properly. This service can take anywhere from a half-hour to two hours depending on how many sensors need replacing following an inspection.

When to Have Your Kia Driving Assistance Tech Inspected

When you bring your Kia in for a tune-up or multi-point inspection, our technicians will test this system and make sure that all sensors are detecting motions properly. Sometimes, the sensors can wear out on their own. Have you noticed that your Driver Assist System is no longer alerting you when other vehicles or objects get too close? Maybe you received a notification on your dash that a sensor is not working properly. All of these are signs that your Kia needs service. This feature is essential to you and your passenger’s safety, so having it serviced as soon as you can is essential.

While it will not impact your ability to drive your Kia, you will not get the added benefits of your driver-assist sensors are not working. This is especially inconvenient for Kia owners who chose their vehicle with this feature in mind. With so many vehicles on the highways and distracted drivers, having that added layer of protection with pre-collision is essential.
