There is a switch on the driver window control that shows a picture of the side mirror. You can choose fold, open or auto. Leave it in auto. You must have selected the switch to open.

The "auto" position is unmarked in the center position.

Because why should you open the book that explains 90% of everything the car can do when you can just ask the internet.

Seriously go read the manual, there are dozens of things this car can do that you wouldn’t even notice to ask about.

The manual isn't always or even often "user friendly", especially the Index. So ask away. Don't worry about asking me anything. And yes, the mirror select button is your issue. It happened to me early in the learning curve. A lot of things did.

Here's one for you: you pull up to an object as you are parking and you're sure that the parking sensors should have beeped by now, but they don't, and never do. So you park "old school" style unassisted (which in this car with its long sloping hood can be very stressful!). You wonder what happened to your parking assistant? Then you find out that "P" is turned off (it's right below the cup holders in the center console). It's supposed to turn back on automatically when it shuts off automatically once you get above 11.somethingorother mph. Mine shut off and never came back on. I read in the manual (the manual has turned into my bedtime read) about this and turned "P" back on and voila! my parking assistant is back. But now "she" won't leave me as described. "P" has never, ever since turned off and remains on continuously. I'm not complaining. Why "P" is supposed to turn off at all is a mystery to me. What's the point of having it turn itself off?

Is there and pretty pictures in there. I hate reading, I have NOOBIE disorder sorry I am a Laxy old man here who should be driving a Honda FIT..

OK I will read the manual , first I need to watch Gillian's Island for the 1000th time

You can do both; keep the manual with you at your side and let Gilligan and Company drone in the background (like white noise) while you pour over the manual's deep secrets. Btw, Kia (I suppose this is common to automobile manuals the world over) duplicates sections. I ran into the "manual gate" info in two different places. This makes your reading less "thick", and provides repetition, which is good for the middle aged synapses.
