The rear view camera will activate
with the ignition switch on and the
shift lever in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion.
Note- during initial start up, system
may not display instantly due to the
audio system booting up.
2 ~ 4 seconds may be required
before displaying during initial
reverse selection. This occurs when
starting and immediately shifting to
reverse.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that shows behind the vehicle
through the UVO audio or navigation
display backing-up.Always keep the camera lens clean.
If lens is covered with foreign matter,
the camera may not operate normal-
ly.
The rearview camera is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe backing-up
procedures. Always drive safely and
use caution when backing up. The
rearview camera may not display
every object behind the vehicle.
REARVIEW CAMERA (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Backing Up &
Using Camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
camera when backing up. Prior
to entering your vehicle always
do a visual check of the area
behind your vehicle, and before
backing up be aware of your sur-
roundings and supplement the
rear view camera by looking over
your shoulders and checking
your rear view mirrors. Due to the
difficulty of ensuring that the
area behind you remains clear,
always back up slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.

AFLS (Adaptive Front Lighting
System) (if equipped)
Adaptive front lighting system uses
the steering angle and vehicle
speed, to keep your field of vision
wide by swiveling and leveling the
headlamp.
Change the switch to the AUTO posi-
tion when the engine is running. The
adaptive front lighting system will
operate when the headlamp is ON.
To turn off the AFLS, change the
switch to other positions. After turn-
ing the AFLS off, headlamp swiveling
no longer occurs, but leveling oper-
ates continuously.Never place anything over the sen-
sor(1) located on the instrument
panel. This will ensure better auto-
light system to turn on and off auto-
matically.
If the AFLS malfunction indicator
comes on, the AFLS is not working
properly. Drive to the nearest safe
location and restart the engine. If the
indicator continuously remains on,
have system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.

make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.

driving conditions, and it is especial-
ly helpful after dawn and before sun-
set.
The DRL system will make the head-
lights light turn OFF when:
1. The head light or fog light is ON.
