WARNING
-
Avoid utilizing the automated sensing capabilities when towing a heavy trailer, hauling a caravan, or mounting equipment that interferes with radar reflection, sensor alignment, or the overall weight distribution of your Kia EV2.
-
Towing an external load or installing a bulky roof carrier can compromise handling precision and directional control. When operating under such conditions, manually disable the automated safety functions and practice heightened driving caution.
-
The Rear Parking Distance Warning mechanism may exhibit restricted performance or fail to scan correctly when a trailer, equipment rack, or towed vehicle is attached. Refrain from relying on the system during these specific operational scenarios.
-
Ensure you properly configure the designated trailer or accessory menu within your Kia EV2 interface whenever attaching extra cargo equipment. Genuine accessory recognition or manual menu adjustments may restrict certain driver assistance features, so always review safety limitations and maintain attentive manual control.

Blind Spot Mirrors
If equipped, there is a small convex mirror built into the upper and outer corner of the driver outside mirror. It can show objects that may be in the vehicle's blind zone.
Driving with the Blind Spot Mirror
Actual Mirror View
When the approaching vehicle is a long distance away, the image in the main mirror is small and near the inboard edge of the mirror. As the vehicle gets closer, the image in the main mirror gets larger and moves outboard. As the vehicle enters the blind zone, the image transitions from the main mirror to the blind spot mirror. When the vehicle is in the blind zone, the image only appears in the blind spot mirror.
