wattage.

net-work failure

Please keep extra bulbs on hand

with appropriate wattage ratings in

case of emergencies.

The headlamp, taillight, and fog light

may light up when the head lamp

switch is turned ON, and not light up

when the taillight or for light switch is

turned ON. This may be cause by

network failure or vehicle electrical

control system malfunction. If there is

a problem, we recommend the sys-

tem be serviced by an authorized Kia

dealer.

CAUTION - Light replace-

ment

Refer to “Bulb Wattage” in chapter 8.

Be sure to replace the burned-

out bulb with one of the same

wattage rating. Otherwise, it

may cause damage to the fuse

or electric wiring system.

When changing lamps, first turn off

the engine at a safe place, firmly

apply the parking brake and detach

the battery’s negative (-) terminal.

WARNING - Working on

the lights

CAUTION - Headlamp

Lens

To prevent damage, do not

clean the headlamp lens with

chemical solvents or strong

detergents.

Prior to working on the light,

firmly apply the parking brake,

ensure that the ignition switch

is turned to the LOCK position

and turn off the lights to avoid

sudden movement of the vehi-

cle and burning your fingers or

receiving an electric shock.

Maintenance

• Lamp part malfunction due to elec-

trical control system stabilization

If you don’t have the necessary tools,

the correct bulbs and the expertise,

consult an authorized Kia dealer. In

many cases, it is difficult to replace

vehicle light bulbs because other

parts of the vehicle must be removed

before you can get to the bulb.This is

especially true if you have to remove

the headlamp assembly to get to the

bulb(s).

Removing/installing the headlamp

assembly can result in damage to

the vehicle.

If non-genuine parts or substandard

bulbs are used, it may lead to blow-

ing a fuse or other wiring damages.

✽

NOTICE

• If the light bulb or lamp connector

is removed while the lamp is still

on, the fuse box's electronic sys-

tem may log it as a malfunction.

Therefore, a lamp malfunction

incident may be recorded as a

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in

the fuse box.

A normally functioning lamp may

flicker momentarily. This momentary

occurrence is due to the stabilization

function of the vehicle's electrical

control system. If the lamp stops

flickering after a few moments, the

vehicle does not require service.

However, if the lamp goes out after

the momentary flickering, or the flick-

ering continues, we recommend the

system be serviced by an authorized

Kia dealer.

• It is normal for an operating lamp

to flicker momentarily. This is due

to a stabilization function of the

vehicle’s electronic control device.

If the lamp lights up normally

after momentarily blinking, then

it is functioning as normal.

However, if the lamp continues to

flicker several times or turns off

completely, there may be an error

in the vehicle’s electronic control

device. Please have the vehicle

checked by an authorized Kia

dealer immediately.

Do not install extra lamps or LEDs to

the vehicle. If additional lights are

installed, it may lead to lamp mal-

functions and flickering. Additionally,

the fuse box and other writing may

be damaged.
