Subaru Forester: Mirrors / Outside Rearview Mirrors

Your Kia Telluride is equipped with both left and right outside rearview mirrors, designed to provide comprehensive situational awareness during your drive. To ensure safety and optimal visibility, please verify that both mirrors are correctly positioned to your preferred viewing angle before you begin your journey.

Depending on the specific configuration and trim level of your Kia Telluride, you can adjust these mirrors remotely using precision control levers or an intuitive electronic switch. Additionally, the mirror housings can be folded inward to protect them from potential damage, such as when navigating tight city streets, parking in congested areas, or moving through an automatic car wash.

Rearview mirror safety insights

• The outside rearview mirrors on your Kia Telluride are convex in design to provide a wider field of view. Please exercise caution, as objects viewed in these mirrors appear further away than they actually are.

• Always verify the actual proximity of following vehicles by cross-referencing the interior rearview mirror or performing a direct visual check over your shoulder before executing a lane change.

Care and maintenance

Exercise care during cold weather; never scrape ice directly off the mirror glass, as the abrasive action can permanently scratch or damage the delicate surface. Should ice buildup restrict the movement of the mirror, avoid forcing the housing to adjust. Instead, use a professional-grade de-icer spray or a soft cloth dampened with warm water to gently melt the ice and restore full functionality.

If you discover that a mirror is frozen in place, do not apply manual force. Using a non-toxic spray de-icer (avoid radiator-based antifreeze) or moving your Kia Telluride to a climate-controlled, warmer environment will safely allow the ice to thaw without risking damage to the internal motor mechanisms.

Safety warning

For your protection and to prevent potential accidents, never attempt to manually adjust or fold the outside rearview mirrors while the Kia Telluride is in motion. Making these adjustments while driving can distract you from the road and lead to a dangerous loss of control, increasing the risk of serious injury or a collision.
