switch is turned ON, and not light up
when the taillight or for light switch
is turned ON. This may be cause by

control system malfunction. If there
is a problem, have the system ser

䳜 Lamp part malfunction due to
electrical control system stabili
-
zation
A normally functioning lamp may
flicker momentarily. This momen
-
tary occurrence is due to stabiliza
-
tion function of the vehicle's
electrical 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 continues, have the sys
-
tem serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
䳜 If the light bulb or lamp connector
is removed from an operating
lamp activated by electricity, the
fuse box䳓s electronic device may
scan it as a malfunction. There
-
fore, a lamp malfunction history
may be recorded in Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) in the fuse
box.
䳜 It is normal for an operating lamp
may blink temporarily. Since this
occurrence is due stabilization
function of the vehicle䳓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䳓s electronic control
device. In this case, have the vehi
-
cle checked by a professional
workshop immediately. Kia rec
