Kia Carens: Mirrors / 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.
WARNING - Rearview mirrors
- The outside rearview mirror is convex. Objects seen in the mirror are
closer than they appear.
- Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to determine
the actual distance of following vehicles when changing lanes.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror face; this may damage the surface of the
glass. If ice should restrict 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 very
warm water.
CAUTION
If the mirror is jammed with ice, do not adjust the mirror by force. Use an
approved spray de-icer (not radiator antifreeze) to release the frozen mechanism
or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.

could result in loss of control, and an accident which could cause death, serious
injury or property damage.
