Kia Optima: Features of your vehicle / Rear view monitor


The rear view monitor will activate with the ignition switch ON and the shift
lever in the R (Reverse) position.
The system is a supplemental system that shows the area behind the vehicle through
the audio screen while backing up.
- This system is a supplemental system only. 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.
WARNING - Backing & using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view camera. You must always use methods of
viewing the area behind you including looking over each shoulders as well as continuously
checking all three 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
suspect that a person, and especially a child, might be behind you.
