Hi there, I am not sure what Cerato you have but if like me you have a Cerato BD, press the page looking icon button on the steering wheel. It is the top left button on the right hand side of the steering wheel, it flicks through different pages on the digital dash display thing.
If you have an older Cerato it may be the top button of the three little buttons on the right side.

Is there a known problem with a body or suspension noise in the LHF of the car when turning right.For example turning at traffic lights and hit a slight bump or under brakes at low speed while turning right etc. Not loud but annoying?

My 2013 KIA Cerato Hatch on-board computer display screen has gone black and doesn't switch back on and my radio cuts in and out even when i mute or switch the radio off after few mins its on again and at the same volume and the same radio station i cant change any of my settings at all I also have no revers camera
i hope there is a way to fix this without replacing the computer unit because i don't think that has helped others since the problem still occurs

Please stop asking me questions about the Cerato. I am a car aficionado, not an expert. If my correspondence isn't good enough to be one of your ambassadors it certainly falls short of answering your followers' questions, as well. Thank you.
I came to this site seeking answers to my problem i wasn't expecting to be treated with such disrespect from someone on a site that is meant to be helpful
Hi Laura. What was the resolution for the issue with your Sat Nav? I have the same issue with my Sat Nav unit.

How do you get the front parking sensors to stay on. They turn themselves off even though you have pressed the button to turn them on. When parking you have to manually turn them on again each time! Beyond strange...
1 answer
The parking sensors will turn off after the vehicle procedes forward at approx. 20 kph. On the console you should have a button maked "P". When you are going to park the vehicle push this button and a light will illuminate showing the sensors are activated. The activated sensors will display on the driver's screen to show distance warnings (green, yellow, red) and chimes will sound accordingly. This button must be pressed to activate this parking assistance feature when you have been driving and are in a parking situation. I hope this has been helpful.

A SERIOUS CERATO PROBLEM!?
This month is the 50th Anniversary of my Drivers Licence and in all that time I've never had a problem like the following before!
Rodents have attacked the hoses & insulation under the hood of my new Cerato GT! A little research has led me to believe that KIA is now manufacturing those components with Vegetable-Oil based Materials and the rodents are finding it attractive to chew on! I'm told that the repairs are not covered by Warranty, but it seems to me that "faulty" Materials should be covered, as well as the resulting secondary damage caused by them. I'm wondering how many other BD Cerato Owners have suffered something similar??

If the battery goes flat on the flip fold key.how do i open the door to gain entry to the vehicle.
1 answer
I have a GT which has the smart key however, if it's the same this is how you do it. Use the key part to pry off the plastic on the left of the drivers door handle using the small key hole on the bottom. If you crouch down and look under the handle you will see the little hole. Using the key pry it off, try not to damage the paint. When you take it off you can see a traditional key lock. Nathan did a video on this however I am not sure how you would deactivate the alarm without a key battery. See his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTYEfBvF4co

I read somewhere that it is possible to unlock the doors as well as start the engine remotely with the GT using the Smart Key. But I can't find any confirmation or instructions. It would be great to start the engine whilst outside the car to allow it to warm up before entering... How to do??
2 answers
I have the GT too, it would be great as the car likes to warm itself up first and it would be nice to just do that remotely. As far as I know I don't think there is a way to do it, otherwise remote start would be in the feature's/specs. Maybe it's a feature for the European Ceed/Proceed.
There might be an after-market add-on that does it, but I guess that might invalidate the Kia Warranty (??)
