Kia K4: Mirrors / Inside rearview mirror
Contents:
Adjust the inside rearview mirror so that you can view the entire rear window clearly from your driving position. Ensure this adjustment is finalized before you begin your journey in the Kia K4.
To maintain a clear view, avoid placing bulky items, boxes, or passengers in the rear seat or cargo area that could obstruct the rear window visibility.
WARNING
Mirror adjustment
For your safety, never attempt to adjust the rearview mirror while the Kia K4 is in motion. Adjusting your mirrors while driving can distract you from the road and lead to a loss of vehicle control.
WARNING
Do not modify the factory rearview mirror in any way, including the attachment of aftermarket "wide-view" or stick-on mirrors. Unauthorized modifications may cause injury during an accident or interfere with the deployment path of the airbag system.
NOTE
Mirror cleaning
To clean the mirror surface, use a soft paper towel or microfiber cloth lightly dampened with a dedicated glass cleaner. Do not spray liquid cleaner directly onto the mirror, as liquid may seep into the mirror housing and cause internal electronic damage.
Day/night rearview mirror

Day position
Night position
Perform all mirror adjustments while the vehicle is parked and the day/night lever is set to the daytime position (1).
When driving at night, pull the day/night lever toward you to the night position (2). This shifts the angle of the mirror to reduce the intense glare from the headlamps of trailing vehicles.
Please remember that while the night position significantly reduces glare, there may be a slight reduction in overall rearview clarity compared to the standard day setting.
Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM):
The Kia K4 may be equipped with an Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM), which automatically manages and reduces glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you. This feature is particularly useful during nighttime or low-light conditions.
The sensor integrated into the rearview mirror continuously monitors ambient light levels around your Kia K4 and automatically adjusts the mirror’s tint level whenever the engine is running, providing a safer and more comfortable driving experience.

Kia K4 (CL4) 2025-2026 Owner's Manual: How does the air bag system operate?
The airbag system in the Kia K4 activates (and will inflate if required) only when the ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ON position. Furthermore, the system remains operational for approximately 3 minutes after the engine has been turned off. In the event of a significant frontal or side collision, the appropriate airbags in the Kia K4 will inflate within a fraction of a second to create a protective cushion, significantly reducing the risk of serious physical injury to the cabin occupants.If you identify chips, deep scratches, or other damage to the paint finish of your Kia K4, address these areas promptly to prevent the onset of corrosion. Small surface imperfections can often be repaired using genuine touch-up paint specifically formulated for your vehicle's color code. For larger areas of paint damage or structural bodywork issues, we recommend visiting an authorized Kia dealer to ensure the repair matches the factory standards and preserves your vehicle's long-term protection.
