Kia Picanto rearview mirror was designed to allow the driver to see rearward through the vehicle’s rear window.
Inside rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror to centre on the view through the rear window. Make this adjustment before you start driving.
Warning
- Do not place objects in the rear seat or cargo area which would interfere with your vision through the rear window.
- Do not adjust the rearview mirror while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident which could cause death, serious injury or property damage.
Day/night rearview mirror
Make this adjustment before you start driving and whilst the day/night lever is in the day position. Pull the day/night lever toward you to reduce the glare from the headlights of the vehicles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearview clarity in the night position.
Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust mirror angles before driving. Your vehicle is equipped with both left-hand and right-hand outside rearview mirrors. 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 in a narrow street.
