So this is what I have found after some trials….
SUN 29 SEPT ‘25
As reported earlier in the thread, upon start up the camera alert function was greyed out and was not ticked. It could not be selected.
I closed the menu.
I drove a route where I knew there would be a camera. The alert sounded as normal, both approaching and clearing the camera.
after a short while I parked and looked at the menu again. Now the alert was showing as available and it was now ticked.
I shut down and left the car for around 30mins.
On my return, I checked the menu and the alert was greyed out again.
on the return journey the alert sounded as normal and the option was back on the menu when I pulled up.
MY CONCLUSION……
Kia has made this function automatically active on start up with no means to cancel.
once triggered by a camera, it is then possible to de-select it.
I can only assume that this might be to encourage more use of the facility, possibly as a safety consideration?
