Kia Stinger 2022 Mirrors Installation Instructions

The mirrors are a subtle but important part of the 2022 Kia Stinger’s beautiful design. They play a key role in improving both safety and usefulness. These mirrors, which were carefully thought out and fit in with the look of the car, show that Kia is dedicated to making a racing sedan that is both stylish and useful. The Stinger usually comes with a variety of mirror options, such as power-folding mirrors for easier access in small areas, heated mirrors to protect against frost and ice, and even auto-dimming mirrors to cut down on glare from headlights behind. With built-in blind-spot tracking and turn signal indicators, these mirrors are more than just reflective surfaces; they play an active role in making sure you drive safely and with knowledge. The 2022 Kia Stinger’s mirrors are a great example of Kia’s commitment to combining cutting-edge technology with an aesthetically pleasing design. They can be electronically adjusted to provide the best visibility, and you can also save your favorite positions for future use. This makes every trip both safe and visually interesting.

Mirrors

Inside rearview mirror

Adjust the rearview mirror so that the center view through the rear window is seen. Make this adjustment before you start driving.
Do not place objects in the rear seat or cargo area that would interfere with your vision through the rear window.

WARNING
Mirror adjustment
Do not adjust the rearview mirror while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control.

WARNING
Do not modify the inside mirror and don’t install a wide mirror. It could result in injury during an accident or deployment of the airbag.

Electrochromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)

The electric rearview mirror automatically controls the glare from the headlights of the vehicles behind you in nighttime or low light driving conditions. The sensor mounted in the mirror senses the light level around the vehicle and automatically controls the headlight glare from the vehicles behind you.
Whenever the gear is shifted into reverse (R), the mirror will automatically go to the brightest setting in order to improve the driver’s view behind the vehicle.

CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror. It may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

Integrated HomeLink씾 Wireless Control System
The HomeLink씾 Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three handheld radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate compatible devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems, and home lighting.

NOTICE
Considering the Home Security when the vehicle is parked outside the garage, the HomeLink will ONLY work when the  ENGINE START/STOP button is in ACC position or ON position.

CAUTION
Before programming HomeLink to a garage door opener or gate operator, make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent potential harm or damage. When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.
Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object signaling the door to stop and reverse – does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com, or call HomeLink customer support at 1-800-355-3515.
It is also recommended that a new battery be replaced in the hand-held transmitter of the device being trained to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio frequency.

1.  Programming HomeLink
   The following steps show how to pro-gram HomeLink. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink buttons, refer to the HomeLink website or call the HomeLink customer support toll-free number. Do this, before going back to the dealer who sold you the car.

Two-Way Communication Programming (For select garage door openers)
If your garage door opener has the ‘myQ’ logo on its side, your opener likely has Two-Way Communication capability. HomeLink has the capability to establish Two-Way Communication with your garage door opener. HomeLink can receive and display “closing” or “opening” status messages from compatible garage door openers. At any time, HomeLink can also recall and display the last recorded status communicated by the garage door opener to indicate your garage door is “closed” or “opened”.
To check if your garage door opener is compatible with this feature, refer to www.homelink.com/compatible/Two-way-Communication. If your garage door opener has this functionality, AND the Two-Way Communication indicators (4), (6) in the mirror appear while the garage door is opening/closing, then no further steps are needed. Two-Way Communication Programming is already complete. However, if your garage door opener has this functionality, AND the Two-Way Communication indicators (4), (6) in the mirror DO NOT appear while the garage door is opening/closing, use the following instructions to enable this functionality.

1.  In your vehicle, press and hold the programmed HomeLink button for 2 seconds, then release it. Confirm that the garage door is moving. AFTER it stops, you will have one minute to complete the following steps:
   • A ladder and/or second person may simplify the following steps.
2. . On your garage door opener in your garage, locate the “Learn” button
   (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener). If there is difficulty locating this button, reference the device’s owner’s manual.
3.  Press and release the “Learn” button.
4. A light on your garage door opener may flash, and your Two-Way Communication indicators (4), (6) in your vehicle may flash, confirming completion of the process.
5. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and release the programmed Home-Link button to activate your garage door. The Two-Way Communication indicators (4), (6) flash in orange when the door is moving. Do not make any additional button presses until AFTER the garage door has come to a complete stop.
6. Your Two-Way Communication programming is now complete.

NOTICE
If your garage door opener has Two-Way Communication functionality, it is possible for HomeLink to stop functioning the garage door shortly after initial programming, IF the Two-Way Communication Programming wasn’t properly completed. This usually happens after the first 10 times a programmed Home-Link button is pressed. If you experience this, completing the “Programming a New HomeLink Button” and “Two-Way Communication Programming” will restore door operation.

Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter remote signals to “time-out” (or quit) after a couple of seconds of transmission, which may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the programming procedures, replace “Programming a New HomeLink Button” step 3 with the following:
While the HomeLink indicator light (7) is flashing orange, press and release
(“cycle”) your device’s hand-held remote every two seconds until the HomeLink indicator light (7) changes from orange to green. You may now release the hand-held remote button. Then proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” step 4.
