01:17 The PBV's steering wheel can be equipped with a mobile device, and when not in use, you
01:22 can stow it away, allowing for a much wider use of the driver's seat area.
01:27 It can also be used to provide additional lighting for enhanced comfort.
01:32 Kia PBVs are designed to enhance everyone's mobility experience, even taking into account
01:38 those with mobility limitations through the inclusion of a mobility-impaired lift.
