Kia Seltos SP2 (2021-2026) Owner's Manual: Storage compartments

The Kia Seltos storage compartments are designed for small items needed by the driver or passengers. They help keep the cabin organized and reduce loose objects while driving. To reduce the risk of theft, do not leave valuables in the storage compartments. Always keep storage compartment covers closed while driving. Do not place too many items inside a compartment, so the cover can close securely.

Kia Seltos SP2 (2021-2026) Owner's Manual: Defroster

The Kia Seltos is equipped with a defroster system designed to help remove frost, fog, and light ice from the rear window for better rear visibility. CAUTION To prevent damage to the conductors bonded to the inside surface of the rear window, never use sharp tools or abrasive window cleaners to clean the glass. If you need to defrost or defog the front windshield, use the windshield defogging and defrosting controls.
