Vehicle controls
control or operate abnormally. In this case, have the system inspected by a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
- When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnormal noise could occur.
If temperature rises, the noise will disappear. This is a normal condition.
- When jump starting the vehicle after battery discharge, the steering wheel may not
function properly. It is a temporary situation due to low battery voltage, and upon sta-
ble battery charging, the steering wheel will function normally again. Please move the
steering wheel around to make sure the steering wheel is functioning properly before
driving the vehicle.
僅 The heated steering wheel will turn off automatically approximately 30 minutes after
the heated steering wheel is turned on.
Mirrors
Precautions
WARNING
僅 Do not place objects in the rear seat or cargo area which would interfere with your vision
out the rear window.
僅 Do not adjust the rear view mirror while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of
control, and an accident which could cause DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, or property dam-
age.
僅 Do not modify the inside mirror and don't install a wide mirror. It could result in injury,
during an accident or deployment of the air bag.
僅 The outside rear view mirror is convex. Objects seen in the mirror are closer than they
appear.
僅 Use your interior rear view mirror or direct observation to determine the actual distance
of following vehicles when changing lanes.
僅 Do not adjust or fold the outside rear view mirrors while the vehicle is moving. This could
result in loss of control, and an accident which could cause DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, or
property damage.
CAUTION
僅 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 deicer spray, or a sponge or soft cloth with warm water.
僅 If the mirror is jammed with ice, do not adjust the mirror by force. Use an approved
spray de-icer (not cooling system antifreeze) to release the frozen mechanism or move
the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
僅 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.
僅 Do not attempt to adjust the outside rear view mirror by hand. Doing so may damage
the parts.
僅 The electric type outside rear view mirror operates even though the vehicle is in the OFF
position. However, to prevent unnecessary battery discharge, do not adjust the mirrors
longer than necessary while the vehicle is not running.
僅 In case it is an electric type outside rear view mirror, don't fold it by hand. It could cause
motor failure.
