Outside rear view mirror

Your vehicle is equipped with both left-hand and right-hand outside rear view mirrors.

Be sure to adjust the mirror angles before driving.

The mirrors can be adjusted remotely with the remote switch. The mirror heads can be folded back to prevent damage during an automatic car wash or when passing through a narrow street.

CAUTION

Rear View Mirrors

Do not scrape ice off the mirror face; this may damage the surface of the glass. If ice should restrict the movement of the mirror, do not force the mirror for adjustment. To remove ice, use a de-icer spray, a sponge or soft cloth with very warm water.

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.

WARNING

Mirror Adjustment

Do not adjust or fold the outside rear view mirrors while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control.

Adjusting the outside rear view mirrors

Adjusting the rear view mirrors:

  1. Move the R or L switch (1) to select the right side mirror or the left side mirror.

  2. Press a corresponding point on the mirror adjustment control (2) to position the selected mirror up, down, left or right.

  3. After adjustment, put the button into neutral (center) position to prevent inadvertent adjustment.

CAUTION
  • The mirrors stop moving when they reach the maximum adjusting angles, but the motor continues to operate while the switch is pressed. Do not press the switch longer than necessary, the motor may be damaged.

  • Do not attempt to adjust the outside rear view mirror by hand. Doing so may damage the parts.

Folding the outside rear view mirror

The outside rear view mirror can be folded or unfolded by pressing the switch as below.

The mirror will fold or unfold automatically as follows:

  • The mirror will fold or unfold when the door is locked or unlocked by the smart key.

  • The mirror will fold or unfold when the door is locked or unlocked by the button on the outside door handle.

  • The mirror will unfold when you approach the vehicle (all doors closed and locked) with a smart key in possession. (if equipped)

CAUTION

The electric type outside rear view mirror operates even though the EV button is in OFF position. However, to prevent unnecessary battery discharge, do not adjust the mirrors longer than necessary while the EV button is ON.

Do not fold an electric type outside rear view mirror by hand as this could cause motor failure.

Reverse parking aid function (if equipped)

When the gear is shifted to the R (Reverse) position, the outside rear view lever(s) will rotate downwards to aid with driving in reverse.

The position of the outside rear view mirror switch (1) determines whether or not the mirrors will move:

  • Left/Right: When either the L (Left) or R (Right) switch is selected, both outside rear view mirrors will move.

  • Neutral: When neither switch is selected, the outside rear view mirrors will not move.

The outside rear view mirrors will automatically revert to their original positions if any of the followings occur:

  • The EV button is placed to either the OFF position or the ACC position.

  • The gear is shifted to any position except R (Reverse).

  • The remote control outside rear view mirror switch is not selected.

Reverse parking aid user settings mode

If you cannot secure enough visibility with the angles provided as factory default conditions, you can readjust and store the angles of outside rear view mirrors.

The factory default angles of the right and left rear view mirrors might be set differently to improve visibility.

  1. Set the shift lever to P (Parking). Make sure that the vehicle is stopped and the mirrors are not working.

  2. Position the lever to L (left) or R (right) depending on the mirror that you want to adjust.

  3. Step on the brake pedal and shift the shift lever to R (Reverse).

  4. When the downward movement of the rear view mirror is finished, adjust the mirror to the desired angle by pressing the switches, ▼, ▲, ◀, ▶.

  5. If you shift the shift lever to a position other than R (Reverse), or change the rear view mirror selector lever to the neutral position, and the automatic return of the mirror is finished, the adjusted angle will be automatically saved.

  6. You can adjust the rear view mirror on the other side by following the same procedures (1~5).

Resetting reverse parking aid user settings mode

If you want to change the automatic control function of rear view mirrors to factory-default conditions, follow the steps below.

  1. Shift the shift lever to P (Park). Make sure that the vehicle is stopped and the mirror is not working.

  2. Choose the mirror to be adjusted by positioning the lever to L (left) or R (right).

  3. Step on the brake pedal and shift the shift lever to R (Reverse).

  4. When the downward movement of the rear view mirror is finished, press the switch (▲) to locate the mirror in the position higher than before (P, N or D).

    (Adjust the mirror in the higher position compared to its position in the driving mode)

  5. It is initialized when the shift lever is shifted to a position other than R (Reverse), or the rear view mirror selector lever is changed to the neutral position. (Initialized position will be applied from next operation)

  6. You can initialize settings for the mirror on the other side by following the same procedures (1~5).

CAUTION

We recommend following the procedures in an orderly manner to change or initialize the auto reversing user settings.

If you move to the next step before completing the previous one, the changed angle may not be changed or initialization may not work properly.
