Video tutorial

This video shows how to reset the infotainment system of the Kia Sportage IV to factory settings. This operation can be very useful if you have messed up the settings and cannot revert them properly, resetting only the information that may have damaged the system.

You will need to re-personalise the entire system as you did when the vehicle was new, but among all the options, this is certainly the lesser evil. Go to the display, scroll to the second page, and select system information.

On the right, at the bottom, you will find the word "default"; click it and confirm (you will be asked to confirm twice). The system will restart and return to factory settings.
