Kia Stinger CK: Mirrors / Outside rearview mirror
Contents:
Be sure to adjust the 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 vehicle wash or when passing through a narrow street.
The right 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 - Rearview mirror
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, a sponge or soft cloth with very warm water.
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.
WARNING - Mirror adjustment
Do not adjust or fold the outside rearview mirrors while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control.
