Kia Sorento: Surround View Monitor malfunction and limitations

• Always look for objects or obstacles around your vehicle before moving. What you see on the screen may differ from the vehicle's actual location.

• Distance shown on the Surround View Monitor screen may differ from actual distance due to image calibration by the Wide Rear View camera. If your Kia Sorento is tilted due to loaded cargo, Rear Parking Guidelines may be incorrect. When you are parking or driving, be sure to directly check your vehicle's surroundings for safety.

• The Surround View Monitor is designed to be used on a flat surface, and the image on the screen may not look correct when used on roads with varying heights, such as curbs and speed bumps.

• Always keep the camera lens clean to maintain optimal camera performance and Surround View Monitor operation. Do not clean the camera lens with chemical solvents that may damage it, including strong detergents that contain high alkaline or volatile organic solvents such as gasoline, acetone, and so on.

• Driving with the liftgate open is abnormal. For your safety, be aware and drive safely.

The Surround View Monitor displays images of your Kia Sorento's surroundings using strategically mounted exterior cameras. The images shown on the screen may look unnatural depending on the vehicle and its surrounding conditions. Daily driving can calibrate and improve the Surround View Monitor's image.
