Thanks so much for another super informative video. Love the format of these short, succinct and highly informative videos focussed on one topic. So so much better than some lengthy video you have to trawl through hoping to find out what you are struggling with for, invariably, your hopes to be dashed at the end. Please keep them coming. 👍👍👍😊
Very helpful video! Having just taken delivery of this vehicle 3 days ago, I have to say that I think there is a serious design flaw with this touch screen. It was an issue I read about as a bit annoying to some reviewers, but I thought it was niggling. But for me now, its a huge PIA! Here is the issue - the driver's side control knob is VERY short, perhaps 3/4" (haven't measured) So, if you have large hands or aren't extremely careful, when you try to turn the knob, it is to touch the Auto-Climate touch button or other ones and you immediately trigger the fan. Then your eyes go off the road while you have to reset the function. IMHO, thus is WAY more dangerous than hand-holding a cell phone while watching the road! A simple workaround may be to switch out the control know to one that is, say, 1 1/4" long to prevent accidentally hitting the touch screen. Are you hearing this Kia designers?? A less simple option is to flog off this otherwise fabulous car, and buy Honda CR-V, with its much better-designed HVAC/Info controls. If this were just a matter of muscle-learning I would accept it, but I fear it may be a stone in my shoe that won't go away till I dump it. Or change shoes. Curious to hear others' experience. Cheers & safe driving!
Thanks. Owned the thing for 5 months and just today needed the heater. Couldn't find the mode button and thought fans were busted. You just saved my dealership from having to deal with me. 😋
It's my pleasure! Trial and error would be to try another phone with the same cable and see if it connects., and trying a different cable if they both don't work. There are a lot of variables! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Generally the center front vents will allow airflow in the rear, and when it's set to floor, it'll come through the floor in the back too. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Not this one unfortunately. But, with Kia Connect you can remote start and pre-set having your heated front and/or rear seats set to whichever level you want! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Yep! This would just be the Rear Defroster button to the left of this section. It is static and doesn't change regardless of what mode you are in! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
I've had mine for 7 months and it has stopped working. It turns on but it's unresponsive to touch. It's stuck on temperature control and only the dials work. Is this a reoccurring issue among the Sportage hybrids?

Finally someone showing the long-press default option!! Love it!
I missed it on my initial video, but I'll keep mentioning it as I go. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

That's fair, it does take a little getting used to being careful around that area! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

@@CardinalKia thank you
Hi, which air controller adjusts the vents for the rear seats? I can't find a video that talks about that. Thank you

Does the car have the auto heat up function for the seat when we are away from the car?
Not this one unfortunately. But, with Kia Connect you can remote start and pre-set having your heated front and/or rear seats set to whichever level you want! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Hi, this car has trunk glass heater as well ? I have new kia sportage prestige smart but i can't see any icon for trunk glass heater.
Yep! This would just be the Rear Defroster button to the left of this section. It is static and doesn't change regardless of what mode you are in! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
@@CardinalKia 🤩 Thanks very much
@KasimTurkoglu You're most welcome! - Andrew

I haven't personally seen any issue with the control center yet. Best to take it to your local Kia to have it inspected! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Appreciated!
Glad to hear it, keep an eye out for more! - Andrew
I didn't knew it's a full screen..... I thought it was just Illuminated behind preset.
They took it one step further haha. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
