Interior

The interior equipment of the Kia Opirus features practical details such as cup holders, sun visors with vanity mirrors, 12V power outlets and an analog clock. Each element is designed for comfort and functionality, ideal for drivers who value thoughtful design. Important notes on safe use, such as with hot liquids or power outlets, supplement this chapter. Regular care of these components also helps preserve value and ensures a good ownership experience over the long term.

Cup holder

Cups and small drink cans can be placed in the cup holders.

• Do not place containers with hot liquids that are not closed with a lid in the vehicle while driving. If hot liquids spill, you may be scalded. This could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
• To reduce the risk of injury in emergency braking or collisions, do not place open or unstable bottles, glasses, cans, etc. in the cup holders while driving.

Front

Briefly press the cover, and the cup holder will open automatically. Press the cover down to close the cup holder.

Rear

Version A

Fold the armrest down to use the cup holders.

Version B

Fold the armrest down and briefly press against the cup holder cover. The cup holder then slowly extends from the armrest.

To stow the cup holder, press it back into the armrest until it clicks into place.

NOTE

Do not place heavy cups or cans in the cup holders.

The cup holders could be damaged as a result.

Sun visor

Use the sun visors to protect yourself from glare caused by sunlight entering from the front or the side.

To use a sun visor, pull it down.

To protect yourself from sunlight entering from the side, fold down the sun visor, release it from the retaining clip (1), and swing the visor to the side.

The driver's sun visor has a pocket (2) for tickets or other papers. To use the vanity mirror, fold the sun visor down.

Then fold the mirror cover (3) up.

Pull the visor extension (4) out sideways from the sun visor if you want to extend it.

NOTE

After use, close the mirror cover carefully, then fold the sun visor back into its original position against the windshield.

If the vanity mirror cover is not fully closed, the mirror light will not switch off. This could drain the vehicle battery and may damage the sun visor.

12V power outlet*

The 12V power outlets are intended to supply power to mobile phones and other devices that can be operated from the 12V vehicle electrical system. The current draw of devices connected while the engine is running should be below 10A.

NOTE

• Use the power outlet only with the engine running, and remove the outlet cover before connecting the electrical device. If the electrical device is operated with the engine off, or if the plug remains connected for several hours, the battery could be discharged.
• Connect only electrical devices with a voltage below 12V and a current draw below 10A.
• Set the heater or air conditioning to the lowest setting before connecting devices to the 12V power outlet(s).
• Keep the 12V power outlets closed with their covers when not in use.
• Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference when connected to a vehicle's 12V power outlet. These devices can cause significant interference with the audio system and malfunctions of the electronic systems or equipment installed in the vehicle.

Clock

Analog clock*

If the battery cables were disconnected, or if the Audio/Clock fuse or the main fuse was blown, the time must be set again.

When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, the clock buttons can be operated as follows:

1. The time advances by 1 minute with each press of the button. If the button is held down for more than 3 seconds, the time advances continuously at one-minute intervals.

The interior of the Kia Opirus 2003–2011 combines comfort with well-thought-out functionality. From the cup holders to the 12V power outlet, every detail is designed to make daily driving easier while providing safety.

The sun visors with integrated vanity mirrors and the practical clock underline the Kia Opirus's high standards of comfort and ease of use. This makes every journey a pleasant experience.

Why is it important not to place hot drinks unsecured in the Kia Opirus 2003–2011?
Because spilled liquids could cause injury and impair control of the vehicle.

How is the battery protected from being discharged when using the 12V power outlet?
By using electrical devices only with the engine running and closing the outlet covers after use.
