Surround View Monitor (SVM) (if equipped)

Surround View Monitor is the parking support system that shows your surroundings around the vehicle.

  • The system is activated when the following steps are performed.

    1. Parking/View button (1, indicator ON) is pressed.

    2. The shift lever is in D (Drive), N (Neutral) or R (Reverse) and vehicle speed is under 15 km/h (10 mph).

  • The system is deactivated when one of the following is performed.

    • The Parking/View button (1, indicator OFF) is pressed again.

    • Vehicle speed is over 15 km/h (10 mph).

  • When vehicle speed is over 15 km/h (10 mph), the system will turn off.

    The system will not automatically turn on again, even though vehicle speed gets below 15 km/h (10 mph).

    Press the button (1, indicator ON) again, to turn on the system.

  • When the vehicle is backing up, the system will turn ON regardless of vehicle speed or button status.

    However, if vehicle speed is over 15 km/h (10 mph) when driving forward, SVM will turn off.

  • A indicator on the screen appears when:

    • The tailgate is opened.

    • The driver's door is opened.

    • The passenger's door is opened.

    • The outside rearview mirror is folded.

  • If the system is not operating normally, the system should be checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Warning

The system is a supplementary driving assist system. Make sure to check the vehicle's surroundings yourself for safety. Do not solely rely on what is displayed on the screen. What you see on the screen may differ from the actual vehicle's location.

Notice

Always keep the camera lens clean. The camera may not work normally if the lens is covered with foreign material.
