WARNING
Working on the lights
Prior to working on the light system,
firmly apply the parking brake, ensure
that the ignition switch, EV button and
lights are turned off to avoid finger
burns or an electric shock.
CAUTION
Light replacement
Replace a burned-out bulb with one of
the same wattage rating. Otherwise, it
may cause damage to the fuse or wiring
system.
Fully install light bulbs and any parts
used to secure them. Failure to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water
entering the headlamp unit. This may
damage the headlamps or cause con
-
densation to build up on the lens. To
prevent damage or fire, make sure bulbs
are fully seated and locked.
CAUTION
Headlamp lens
To prevent damage, do not clean the
headlamp lens with chemical solvents or
strong detergents.
NOTICE
僅 If the light bulb or lamp connector is
removed while the lamp is still on, the
fuse box's electronic system may log
it as a malfunction. A lamp malfunc
-
tion incident may be recorded as a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in the
fuse box.
僅 It is normal for an operating lamp to
flicker momentarily. This is due to the
stabilization function of the vehicle's
electronic control device. It is normal if
the lamp lights normally after
momentarily blinking.
If the lamp continues to flicker several
times or turns off completely, there
may be an error in the vehicle's elec
-
tronic control device. Have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer
immediately.
