Kia Soul: Features of your vehicle / 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.
WARNING
Rear visibility
Do not place objects in the rear seat or cargo area which would interfere with your vision out the rear window.
WARNING
Do not adjust the rearview mirror while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident which could cause death, serious injury or property damage.
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 air bag.
Day/night rearview mirror (if equipped)
Make this adjustment before you start driving and while the day/night lever is in the day position(1).
Pull the day/night lever toward you to reduce the glare from the headlights of the vehicles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearview clarity in the night position.

Electrochromic mirror (ECM)
The electric rearview mirror automatically controls the glare from the headlamp of the car behind you in nighttime or low light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the glare is automatically controlled by the sensor mounted in the rearview mirror. The sensor detects the light level around the vehicle, and automatically adjusts to control the headlamp glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in R (Reverse), the mirror will automatically go to the brightest setting in order to improve the drivers view behind the vehicle.
