Overview
Lamp part malfunction due to network failure
Lamp part malfunction may be caused by network failure or vehicle electrical control
system malfunction. If there is a problem, have the system serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
Lamp part malfunction due to electrical control system stabilization
A normally functioning lamp may flicker momentarily. This momentary occurrence
is due to stabilization unction of the vehicle's electrical on control system. If the lamp
soon returns to normal, the vehicle does not require service.
However, if the lamp goes out after the momentary flickering, or the flickering contin
ues, have the system serviced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
• Removing/installing the headlamp assembly can result in damage to the vehicle.
Use only Kia Genuine Parts or those of an equivalent standard part. If not, it may
lead to blowing a fuse or other wiring damages.
• Do not install extra lamps or LED to the vehicle. If supplementary lights are installed,
it may lead to lamp malfunction and flickering of the lights. In addition, the fuse box
and other wiring may be damaged.
NOTE
• If the lamp connector is removed from an operating lamp activated by electricity,
the fuse box's electronic device may scan it as a malfunction. Therefore, a lamp
malfunction history may be recorded in Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in the fuse
box.
• It is normal for an operating lamp may blink temporarily. Since this occurrence is
due stabilization function of the vehicle's electronic control device, if the lamp lights
up normally after temporary blinking, there is no problem in the vehicle.
However, if the lamp continues to blink several times or turn off completely, there
may be an error in the vehicle's electronic control device. In this case, have the ve
hicle checked by a professional workshop immediately. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
• After an accident or after the headlight assembly is reinstalled, have the headlight
aiming adjusted by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
• After driving in heavy rain or washing, headlamp and taillamp lenses could appear
frosty. This condition is caused by the temperature difference between the lamp in
side and outside. This is similar to the condensation on your windows inside your
