Rear View Monitor malfunction and limitations
Rear View Monitor malfunction
-
When Rear View Monitor 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 authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Limitations of Rear View Monitor
-
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.

-
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 while 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.
-
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 solvents such as strong detergents containing high alkaline or volatile organic solvents (gasoline, acetone etc.). This may damage the camera lens.
