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, have the function inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit 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.
-
The rear view camera does not cover the complete area behind the vehicle. The driver should always check the rear area directly through the inside and outside rearview mirror before parking or backing up.
-
The camera used for the rear monitor is a wide-angle lens. Since the distorted image is corrected and used, there may be a difference with the distance of the actual object.
-
If the camera lens is covered with foreign material, 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.
