Kia Rio: Features of your vehicle / Rear view monitor system

Rear View Monitor function

■ Type A

■ Type B

Rear View Monitor system will activate with the ignition switch on and the shift lever in the R (Reverse) position.

Please note that during initial start up, the rear view monitor may not display instantly due to the audio system booting up.

This system is a supplemental system that shows behind the vehicle through the UVO audio or navigation display backing-up.

It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the inside/outside rearview mirrors and the area behind the vehicle before and while backing up.

Always keep the camera lens clean. If lens is covered with foreign matter, the camera may not operate normally.

The rear view monitor is not a substitute for proper and safe backing-up procedures. Always drive safely and use caution when backing up.

The rear view monitor may not display every object behind the vehicle.

WARNING - Backing Up & Using Camera

Never rely solely on the rear view monitor when backing up. Prior to entering your vehicle always do a visual check of the area behind your vehicle, and before backing up be aware of your surroundings and supplement the rear view monitor by looking over your shoulders and checking your rear view mirrors.

Due to the difficulty of ensuring that the area behind you remains clear, always back up slowly and stop immediately if you even suspect that a person, and especially a child, might be behind you.
