System malfunction and limitations

System malfunction

  • When Rear View Monitor system is not working properly, or the screen flickers, or the camera image does not display normally, We recommend that you have your vehicle inspected by an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

Limitations of the system

  • When the vehicle is stopped for a long time in winter or when the vehicle is parked in an indoor parking lot, the exhaust fumes may temporarily blur the image.

Warning

The Driving Rear View Monitor is a driving assist function. As the appearance on the screen may differ from the actual location, check the front/rear/side view directly for safety.

Warning
  • The Rear View Monitor is not a safety device. It only serves to assist the driver in identifying objects directly behind the middle of the vehicle. The camera does not cover the complete area behind the vehicle.

  • Never rely solely on the rear view monitor. As there are blind spots that do not appear on the camera whilst backing up and parking, You must always use methods of viewing the area behind you including looking over both shoulders as well as continuously checking all three rear view mirrors.

  • Always look around your vehicle to make sure there are no objects or obstacles before moving the vehicle in any direction to prevent a collision.

  • Always pay close attention when the vehicle is driven close to objects, particularly pedestrians, and especially children.

  • Always keep the camera lens clean. If lens is covered with foreign matter, the camera may not operate normally.

  • When stopping for a long time in winter or parking in an indoor parking lot, the image may temporarily be blurry due to the exhaust gas.
