Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust the mirror angles
before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both
left-hand and right-hand outside
rearview mirrors. The mirrors can be
adjusted remotely with the remote
switch. The mirror heads can be fold-
ed back to prevent damage during an
automatic vehicle wash or when
passing through a narrow street.
The right outside rearview mirror is
convex. Objects seen in the mirror
are closer than they appear.
Use your interior rearview mirror or
direct observation to determine the
actual distance of following vehicles
when changing lanes.If the mirror is jammed with ice, do
not adjust the mirror by force. Use an
approved spray de-icer (not radiator
antifreeze) to release the frozen
mechanism or move the vehicle to a
warm place and allow the ice to melt.
Adjusting outside rearview mirror
The electric remote control mirror
switch allows you to adjust the posi-
tion of the left and right outside
rearview mirrors. To adjust the posi-
tion of either mirror, press the R or L
button (1) to select the right side mir-
ror or the left side mirror, then press a
corresponding point “ ” (2) on the
mirror adjustment control to position
the selected mirror up, down, left or
right.
After adjustment, press the R or L
button again to prevent the inadver-
tent adjustment.
WARNING- Mirror
adjustment
Do not adjust or fold the outside
rearview mirrors while the vehi-
cle is moving. This could result
in loss of control.
CAUTION - Rearview
mirror
Do not scrape ice off the mirror
face; this may damage the sur-
face of the glass. If ice should
restrict the movement of the mir-
ror, do not force the mirror for
adjustment. To remove ice, use a
deicer spray, a sponge or soft
cloth with very warm water.

Rear View Monitor will activate with
the ignition switch ON and the shift
lever in the R (Reverse) position.This function is a supplemental func-
tion only. It is the responsibility of the
driver to always check the inside/out-
side rearview mirrors and the area
behind the vehicle before and while
backing up because there is a dead
zone that can't be seen by the cam-
era.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the camera lens is covered with
foreign material, the Rear View
Monitor may not operate normally.
Always keep the camera lens clean.
However, do not use chemical sol-
vents such as strong detergents con-
taining high alkaline or volatile
organic solvents (gasoline, acetone
etc.). This may damage the camera
lens.
REAR VIEW MONITOR (RVM)
WARNING - Backing &
using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
camera when backing up. You
must always look over both
shoulders and continuously
check all three 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 espe-
cially a child, might be behind
you.ODEP041403

if any object is sensed within the dis-
tance of 100 cm (40 in.) in front and
120 cm (48 in.) behind the vehicle.This function is a supplemental func-
tion and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver.

detectable by the sensors (1) are lim-
ited. Whenever moving pay as much
attention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a Forward/Reverse

1. The warning may not sound
sequentially depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
2. Forward/Reverse Parking
Distance Warning may malfunc-
tion if the vehicle bumper height
or sensor installation has been
modified. Any nonfactory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects
less than 30 cm (12 in) from the
sensor, or it may sense an incor-
rect distance. Use with caution.
4. When the sensor is frozen or
stained with snow or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a
soft cloth.
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
Pay close attention when the vehicle
is driven close to objects on the road,
particularly pedestrians, and espe-
cially children. Be aware that some
objects may not be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects distance,
size or material, all of which can limit
the effectiveness of the sensor.
Always perform a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of all
obstructions before moving the vehi-
cle in any direction.Self-diagnosis
When you shift the gear to the R
(Reverse) position and if one or more
of the below occurs you may have a
malfunction in Forward/Reverse
Parking Distance Warning.
You don't hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently.
If this occurs, we recommend that
the system be checked by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
