Rear View Monitor malfunction

If there is a problem with the Kia EV6 Rear View Monitor system, the monitor may display a green, blue, or black screen instead of the normal camera image.

If the Rear View Monitor does not operate correctly, the display flickers, or the camera image is distorted, blurred, delayed, or does not appear properly, have the Kia EV6 inspected by an authorized Kia dealer or qualified service center.

Limitations of Rear View Monitor

When the Kia EV6 remains parked for an extended period during winter weather or inside enclosed parking facilities, temporary condensation or moisture may form on the camera lens, causing the rear image to appear blurred or unclear for a short period of time.

Under the following conditions, abnormal or distorted images may appear on the Rear View Monitor display.

When the liftgate is open or not fully secured.

WARNING

The Kia EV6 rear view camera does not provide complete visibility of the entire area behind the vehicle. Before reversing or parking, always directly check the surrounding area using both the inside rearview mirror and outside mirrors for maximum safety.

Rear View Monitor images may display objects at a different distance than they actually appear because of image correction and wide-angle camera processing. In addition, rear parking guidelines may not display accurately if the Kia EV6 is tilted due to heavy cargo or uneven ground. Always visually confirm your surroundings before maneuvering.

Always keep the Kia EV6 rear camera lens clean and free from dirt, snow, water droplets, mud, or foreign material. Contamination on the lens may reduce image quality or interfere with proper operation of the Rear View Monitor system. Avoid using strong chemical cleaners, highly alkaline detergents, gasoline, acetone, or volatile solvents because these products may damage the camera lens surface.

Driving the Kia EV6 with the liftgate open is not recommended. If driving with the liftgate open is unavoidable, exercise extreme caution and continuously monitor the surrounding environment.
