When the Surround View Monitor on your Kia EV2 experiences a system malfunction, the live image on the screen may abnormally appear tinted green, blue, or completely black.
If the Surround View Monitor does not work properly, the screen flickers, or the camera image fails to display correctly, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.
When your Kia EV2 is stopped for an extended period in cold winter conditions or when parked inside a confined indoor parking structure, localized exhaust fumes and ambient temperature variations may temporarily blur or distort the camera image feed.
The screen may display abnormally and show an error or warning icon at the top left side under the following operating circumstances:
You open the tailgate.
You open the driver’s door, or the front passenger opens their respective door.
You fold or adjust the outside rearview mirrors.
WARNING
Always look directly for objects or obstacles around your Kia EV2 before moving the vehicle. What you see on the navigation screen may slightly differ from the vehicle’s actual physical location.
Distances shown on the Surround View Monitor screen may differ from actual distances due to wide-angle image calibration by the Wide Rear View camera. If your Kia EV2 is tilted due to heavy loaded cargo, the Rear Parking Guidelines may appear incorrect. When you are parking or driving, be sure to directly check your vehicle’s surroundings for safety.
The Surround View Monitor is engineered to be used on flat surfaces, and the image on the screen may not look correct when used on roads with varying heights, such as high kerbs and steep speed bumps.
Always keep the camera lenses clean to maintain optimal camera performance and flawless Surround View Monitor operation. Do not clean the camera lens with harsh chemical solvents that may damage the protective coating, including strong detergents containing high alkalinity or volatile organic solvents such as petrol and acetone.
Driving your Kia EV2 with the tailgate open is abnormal and hazardous. For your absolute safety, remain fully aware of your surroundings and drive with extreme caution.
TIP
The Surround View Monitor displays comprehensive images of your Kia EV2 surroundings using strategically mounted exterior cameras. The images shown on the screen may look slightly unnatural depending on the vehicle orientation and surrounding environmental conditions. Regular daily driving helps calibrate and optimize the Surround View Monitor’s image clarity.
