Maintenance Light bulbs
䳜 If the light bulb or lamp connector
is removed from an operating
lamp activated by electricity, the
fuse box'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'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 vehi
-
cle checked by a professional
workshop immediately. Kia rec

Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a
country with opposite traffic direc
-
tion, this asymmetric part will daz
-
zle oncoming car driver. To prevent
dazzle, ECE regulation demand sev
-
eral technical solutions (ex. auto
-
matic change system, adhesive
sheet, down aiming). This head
-
lamps are designed not to dazzle
opposite drivers. So, you need not
change your headlamps in a country
with opposite traffic direction.
After driving in heavy rain or wash
-
ing, headlamp and taillamp lenses
could appear frosty. This condition
is caused by the temperature dif
-
ference between the lamp inside
and outside. This is similar to the
condensation on your windows
inside your vehicle during the rain
and doesn't indicate a problem with
your vehicle. If the water leaks into
the lamp bulb circuitry, have the
vehicle checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
