If the sensor is covered with dirt or other foreign matter, the vehicle to vehicle distance control may not operate correctly.
Always keep the area in front of the sensor clean.
To set vehicle-to-vehicle distance: This function allows you to program the vehicle to maintain relative distance to the vehicle ahead without depressing the accelerator pedal or brake pedal.

If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by an authorized Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck service.
