Electrochromic Mirror (ECM)

Kia Soul. Mirrors

The electrochromic rear view mirror automatically adjusts glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you at night or in poor lighting conditions.

When the engine is running, glare is automatically controlled by a sensor installed in the rear view mirror. The sensor detects the level of light around the vehicle and automatically adjusts the mirror to control glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you.

Whenever the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position, the mirror automatically switches to its brightest setting to improve the driver's view behind the vehicle.

When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material moistened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly onto the mirror, as liquid cleaner may get into the mirror housing.

CAUTION
