Parking Distance Warning - Forward

[mattymac5]

Is the Parking Distance Warning - Forward feature only available on SX models? Or EX as well?

Many thanks in advance. Great forum I was fortunate to locate.

Only on the SX. Doesn’t look like anything has changed for 2021.

Cannot confirm for sure as I own an SX, but according to the interior view on the Kia website, it does. (So take it with a grain of salt until an EX owner can chime in for first hand info).

Welcome aboard!



EDIT: It appears all trim levels have it. I would suggest that makes sense since all trim levels include FCW/FCA.

That button on the other trims must be for the rear parking sensor then. Weird it has the ultrasonic for FCA/FCW but won't tell you if you're parking to something too close.

FCA/FCW uses a combination of the radar in the lower facia and the camera mounted at the top of the windshield.

Parking distance warning uses the small ultrasonic sensors in the rear (and in the SX, front) bumper.

Cool - thanks for the clarification!
