This document is a Quick Reference Guide for the Niro HEV Vehicle Infotainment System. It provides essential information on accessing the web manual, safety warnings, component names and functions, turning the system on and off, troubleshooting, and product specifications.
The Niro HEV Vehicle Infotainment System is designed to provide a range of in-car entertainment, navigation, and communication features. It allows users to access radio, media from storage devices, and connect mobile phones via Bluetooth for calls and media playback. The system also supports phone projection features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, enabling seamless integration with smartphones for navigation, messaging, and other apps.
The web manual for the infotainment system can be accessed by scanning a QR code provided in the guide. This can be done using a QR code reader app installed on a smartphone (available on the App Store or Google Play Store). Alternatively, the QR code can be found on the system's Home screen by navigating to "All menus > Manual" or "All menus > Settings > General > System info > Manual." Users can also directly enter the URL (http://webmanual.kia.com/DA_GEN2_V/AV/AUS/English/index.html) into their smartphone's internet browser. Scanning QR codes within specific function menus allows for quick access to relevant information for that function.
Operating the system while driving is strongly discouraged due to the risk of distraction and potential accidents. Users are advised to park the vehicle in a safe location before using functions that require multiple operations or accessing QR codes. Watching the screen while driving is also prohibited. Mobile phone usage should be limited while driving, and the Bluetooth Handsfree feature should be utilized for calls, keeping them as short as possible. The system's volume should be kept low enough to hear external sounds to avoid traffic accidents and potential hearing damage.
Users are warned against disassembling or modifying the system, as this could lead to accidents, fire, or electric shock. Liquids or foreign substances should not be allowed to enter the system, as they can cause noxious fumes, fire, or system malfunctions. If the system malfunctions (e.g., no audio output or display), its use should be stopped immediately to prevent fire, electric shock, or system failure. Any problems with the system should be reported to the place of purchase or dealer.
The infotainment system should be used with the engine running to prevent battery discharge. Installing unapproved products is not recommended, as they may cause errors and are not covered under warranty. Excessive force should not be applied to the screen, as it can damage the LCD or touch panel. When cleaning the screen or button panel, the engine should be stopped, and a soft, dry cloth should be used. Solvents like alcohol, benzene, or paint thinner, or rough cloths, can scratch or chemically damage the surface. Liquid-type air fresheners attached to the fan louvre may deform the system's surface or the louvre due to airflow.
To turn on the system, the engine must be started. A safety warning will appear, which should be read and confirmed. The system language can be changed by pressing "Language." Some functions are disabled while the vehicle is moving for safety reasons and can only be used when the vehicle is stopped and the parking brake is applied (or the transmission is in "P" for automatic vehicles). The system can be turned on when the key ignition switch is in the "ACC" or "ON" position, but prolonged use without the engine running will drain the battery. A battery warning will appear if the system is turned on without the engine running, disappearing once the engine starts. To turn off the system, press and hold the Power button on the control panel. The screen and sound will turn off. Pressing the Power button again will turn it back on. After the engine is turned off, the system will automatically turn off after a short period or as soon as the driver's door is opened, depending on the vehicle model and specifications.
The guide provides a comprehensive troubleshooting section for sound and display issues, USB playback, Bluetooth connection, and phone projection.
The system offers a user-friendly interface with both physical buttons on the control panel and steering wheel remote controls for easy access to various functions. Voice recognition is available for connected smartphones, enhancing hands-free operation. The ability to access a detailed web manual via QR codes provides convenient on-demand support. Phone projection features (Android Auto, Apple CarPlay) extend smartphone functionality to the vehicle's display.
The guide emphasizes proper cleaning procedures for the screen and buttons, recommending a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh solvents to prevent damage. In case of system malfunctions or persistent issues, users are advised to contact their place of purchase or dealer for professional assistance. The troubleshooting section helps users identify and resolve common problems, reducing the need for immediate professional intervention.
