Please prepare lamps with appropri-
ate standards in case of emergen-
cies. (Refer to chapter 9 for further
information)

-
the lights

WARNING
Be sure to replace the burned-
out bulb with one of the same
wattage rating. Otherwise, it
may cause extensive wiring
damage and possible fire.
CAUTION
If you don't have necessary
tools, the correct bulbs and the
expertise, consult a profession-
al workshop. Kia recommends
to consult an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner. 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
headlight assembly to get to the
bulb(s). Removing/ installing the
headlight assembly can result
in damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION
• If unauthentic parts or sub-
standard lights are used when
changing lights, it may lead to
fuse disconnection and mal-
function, and other wiring
damages.
• Do not install extra lamps or
LED to the vehicle. If supple-
mentary lights are installed, it
may lead to lamp malfunction
and flickering of the lights. In
addition, the fuse box and
other writing may be damaged.
Lamp part malfunction due to
net-work failure
The headlamp, taillight, and fog light
may lit 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, have
the system serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
