Kia Picanto: Interior features / Sunvisor. Seat warmer : (if equipped)

Sunvisor

Use the sunvisor to reduce direct light entering through the windscreen or side window, positioning it to shield the light without restricting your view.

Pull the sunvisor downwards to use it in front of the windscreen.

For protection from light entering through the side window, lower the visor, release it from the retaining bracket (1), and swing it towards the side window (2).

To access the vanity mirror, lower the sunvisor and slide the mirror cover (3) open.

The ticket holder (4) provides a place to keep a tollgate ticket.

WARNING

Make sure the sunvisor does not obstruct your vision. Maintain a clear view of the road whenever the visor is in use.

Seat warmer : (if equipped)

Figure 1. Front seat

The seat warmers provide warmth for the front seats in cold weather. With the ignition switch in the ON position, press the corresponding switch to heat either the driver’s seat or the front passenger’s seat.

Keep the switches in the OFF position during mild weather or whenever additional seat heating is unnecessary.

• Each press of the switch changes the seat heating setting in the sequence illustrated below.

Front seat

• The seat warmer resets to OFF whenever the ignition switch is turned on. Select the desired heating setting again when required.

NOTE

While the seat warmer is switched ON, the heating system cycles on and off automatically according to the seat temperature.

CAUTION

• Do not clean the seats with organic solvents such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or petrol. These substances can damage the seat surfaces or the heater.

• To prevent the seat warmer from overheating, do not place insulating items such as blankets, cushions or seat covers on the seat while heating is operating. These items can trap heat against the seat surface.

• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on seats fitted with warmers. They may damage the heating components inside the seat.

• Do not replace or change the seat cover. Doing so may damage the seat warmer or the seat ventilation system.

WARNING

Seat warmer burns

Use the Kia Picanto seat warmers with particular care because excessive heat can cause burns. Burns may occur even at a low temperature setting, especially during prolonged use. The driver must exercise extra caution when the following passengers are using heated seats:

1. Infants, children, older people, people with disabilities, and patients receiving outpatient treatment.

2. People with sensitive skin or those who are particularly susceptible to burns.

3. People who are fatigued.

4. People who are intoxicated.

5. People taking medication that can cause drowsiness or sleepiness, including sleeping tablets and some cold medicines.
