• This system is a supplementary

Backing up & using camera

Never rely solely on the rear
view camera when backing. You
must always use methods of
viewing the area behind you
including looking over both
shoulders as well as continu-
ously checking all three rear
view mirrors. Due to the difficul-
ty of ensuring that the area
behind you remains clear,
always back slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.

LIGHTING

Battery saver function

• The purpose of this feature is to

prevent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when
the driver turns off the engine and
opens the driver-side door.

• With this feature, the parking lights

will be turned off automatically if
the driver parks on the side of the
road at night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the engine is turned OFF,
perform the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and

ON again using the light switch
on the steering column.

Headlight escort function

If you turn the Engine Start/Stop
Button to the ACC or OFF position
with the headlights ON, the head-
lights (and/or tail lights) remain on for
about 5 minutes. However, if the dri-
ver’s door is opened and closed, the
headlights are turned off after 15
seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the smart
key twice or turning the light switch to
the OFF or Auto position.
However, if you turn the light switch
to the Auto position when it is dark
outside, the headlights will not be
turned off.

If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (except driver's
door), the battery saver function
does not operate and the headlight
escort function does not turn off
automatically. Therefore, It causes
the battery to be discharged. In this
case, make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.

If your vehicle is equipped with the
adaptive front lighting system
(AFLS), it will also operate when the
headlamp is ON.

✽

NOTICE

If your vehicle has window tint or
other types of coating on the front
windshield, the Auto light system
may not work properly.

AFLS (Adaptive Front Lighting
System) (if equipped)

Adaptive front lighting system uses
the steering angle and vehicle speed,
to keep your field of vision wide by
swiveling and leveling the headlamp.
Change the switch to the AUTO posi-
tion when the engine is running. The
adaptive front lighting system will
operate when the headlamp is ON. To
turn off the AFLS, change the switch
to other positions. After turning the
AFLS off, headlamp swiveling no
longer occurs, but leveling operates
continuously.

If the AFLS malfunction indicator
comes on, the AFLS is not working
properly. Drive to the nearest safe
location and restart the engine. If the
indicator remains on, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized K900
Kia dealer.

Auto control (if equipped)

The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls the
wiping cycle for the proper interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain stops, the
wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the Engine Start/Stop
Button is ON, the wiper will operate
once to perform a self-check of the
system. Set the wiper to OFF posi-
tion when the wiper is not in use.

When the engine Start/Stop but-
ton is ON and the windshield
wiper switch is placed in the
AUTO mode, use caution in the
following situations to avoid
damaging the rain sensors on
the windshield:
• Do not touch the upper end of

the windshield glass facing
the rain sensor.

• Do not wipe the upper end of

the windshield glass with a
damp or wet cloth.

• Do not put pressure on the

windshield glass.

CAUTION

When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch to the OFF posi-
tion so the auto wiper will not
operate.
The wiper may operate and be
damaged if the switch is set in
the AUTO mode while washing
the vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
passenger side windshield
glass. Damage to system parts
could occur and may not be cov-
ered by your vehicle warranty.
When starting the vehicle in win-
ter, set the wiper switch in the
OFF position. Otherwise, wipers
may operate and ice may dam-
age the windshield wiper blades.
Always remove all snow and ice
and defrost the windshield prop-
erly prior to operating the wind-
shield wipers.

the front of the engine compartment
on the passenger side.

Washer Pump

To prevent possible damage to
the washer pump, do not oper-
ate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty.

• To prevent possible damage

to the wipers or windshield,
do not operate the wipers
when the windshield is dry.

• To prevent damage to the

wiper blades, do not use
gasoline, kerosene, paint thin-

near them.

• To prevent damage to the

wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.

• To prevent possible damage

to the wipers and washer sys-
tem, use anti-freezing washer
fluids in the winter season or
cold weather.

ing temperatures without first
warming the windshield with
the defrosters; the washer solu-
tion could freeze on contact
