Automatic-Dimming Night Vision Safety™ (NVS®) Mirror

The NVS® Mirror automatically minimizes glare by monitoring light levels at both the front and rear of the Kia EV6. Objects blocking the mirror sensors may reduce automatic dimming performance.

For additional information regarding NVS® mirrors and related technologies, please visit the Gentex website: www.gentex.com

The mirror automatically darkens whenever glare from following vehicles is detected behind the Kia EV6.

The automatic dimming feature defaults to the ON position each time the vehicle is started.

Integrated HomeLink® Wireless Control System

The HomeLink® Wireless Control System provides a practical replacement for up to three handheld radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to operate compatible devices such as garage door openers, electric gates, security systems, entry locks, and home lighting controls.

This integrated convenience feature enhances the premium technology experience of the Kia EV6 and reduces the need for separate remote transmitters inside the vehicle.

NOTE

NOTE

1. Programming HomeLink®

The following instructions explain how to program the HomeLink system in the Kia EV6. If you experience difficulty during setup, refer to the HomeLink website or contact HomeLink customer support before visiting a dealership.

• Visit the HomeLink website at: www.homelink.com. At the top of the page, select your vehicle manufacturer and model to access setup instructions, YouTube tutorial videos, and additional support information.

• If accessing the HomeLink website using a mobile device, scan the QR code shown below.

• Or contact HomeLink customer support directly at 1-800-355-3515

  (Please have both the Kia EV6 vehicle information and the garage opener or device model information available before calling.)

1) Programming Preparation ➤

1) Operating HomeLink®

1. Press and release the desired programmed HomeLink button (1, 2, or 3) to activate the connected garage door opener, gate operator, security system, or compatible home automation device.

The integrated HomeLink® system in the Kia EV6 provides convenient wireless access to compatible garage doors, gates, and smart home devices directly from the vehicle interior without requiring separate remote transmitters.

NOTE

2) Two-Way Communication Display Behavior

1. Press and release one of the programmed HomeLink buttons (1, 2, or 3).

2. If your garage door opener supports Two-Way Communication functionality, indicators (4) and (6) will operate as described below.

   • If indicator (4) flashes orange, the garage door is currently closing.

   • Indicator (4) changes to solid green once the garage door has fully closed.

   • If indicator (6) flashes orange, the garage door is currently opening.

   • Indicator (6) changes to solid green after the garage door has fully opened.

   • If indicator (4) or (6) does not illuminate green, the last garage door status signal may not have been received correctly. In this situation, the Kia EV6 HomeLink mirror attempts to retrieve and display the most recently known garage door status for several seconds.

The Two-Way Communication feature of the Kia EV6 improves convenience by allowing the driver to confirm garage door movement and final status directly through the mirror indicators.

3) Recalling Garage Door Status

The HomeLink mirror with Two-Way Communication technology allows the Kia EV6 driver to review the last stored status message received from the garage door opener.

To recall the last recorded status of the most recently activated device, press buttons “1 and 2” OR buttons “2 and 3” simultaneously.

• If indicator (4) illuminates solid green, the last activated garage door or connected device was successfully closed.

• If indicator (6) illuminates solid green, the last activated garage door or connected device was successfully opened.

This feature provides additional convenience and reassurance when operating garage doors remotely using the Kia EV6 HomeLink® system.

3. Erasing HomeLink® Buttons

1) Erasing and Reprogramming a Single HomeLink® Button:

1. Press and hold the specific HomeLink button that you want to erase and reprogram. Do not release the button during this step.

2. The HomeLink indicator light (7) will illuminate solid green. Release the button once the indicator light begins flashing orange, which usually occurs after approximately 20 seconds.

3. Continue with the instructions found in the “Programming a New HomeLink Button” section to complete setup of the new device.

NOTE

The Kia EV6 HomeLink system allows selective reprogramming of individual buttons without affecting other stored HomeLink settings.

2) The following instructions will erase ALL HomeLink® programming from ALL buttons:

1. Press and hold HomeLink buttons (1) and (3) simultaneously.

2. The HomeLink indicator light (7) will remain solid orange for approximately 10 seconds.

3. Release both buttons once the HomeLink indicator light (7) changes to green and begins flashing rapidly.

4. At this point, all three HomeLink buttons (1), (2), and (3) in the Kia EV6 will be completely cleared of all stored programming information.

Performing a full HomeLink reset may be useful when transferring ownership of the Kia EV6 or when replacing connected garage door systems and wireless devices.
