Rear View Monitor functionRear View Monitor system will acti-
vate with the ignition switch on and
the shift lever in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion.
Please note that during initial start
up, the rear view monitor may not
display instantly due to the audio
system booting up.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that shows behind the vehicle
through the UVO audio or navigation
display backing-up.
It is the responsibility of the driver to
always check the inside/outside
rearview mirrors and the area behind
the vehicle before and while backing
up.
Always keep the camera lens clean. If
lens is covered with foreign matter,
the camera may not operate normally.
The rear view monitor is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe backing-up
procedures. Always drive safely and
use caution when backing up.
The rear view monitor may not dis-
play every object behind the vehicle.
REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
WARNING - Backing Up &Using Camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
monitor 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 monitor by looking
over your shoulders and check-
ing 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 espe-
cially a child, might be behind
you.

Battery saver function
The purpose of this feature is to
prevent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when
the driver removes the ignition key
and opens the driver-side door.
With this feature, the parking lights will turn off automatically if the driv-
er parks on the side of the road at
night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the ignition key is removed,
perform the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON again using the light switch
on the steering column.
Headlight escort function

The headlights (and/or taillights) will
remain on for approximately 5 min-
utes after the ignition key is removed

are turned off after 15 seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the trans-
mitter (or smart key) twice or turning
off the light switch from the headlight
or Auto light position.
If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (except driver's
door), the battery saver function
does not operate and the headlight
escort function does not turn off
automatically. Therefore, It causes
the battery to be discharged. In this
case, make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.

properly have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Don't attempt to inspect or replace
the wiring yourself to prevent mal-
function.

seconds.
If the headlight switch is in the AUTO
position, the function can only oper-
ate at night.
At this time, if you press the door
unlock button again or door lock but-
ton on the transmitter (or smart key),
