• 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 prob-
lem, have the system serviced by a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia deal-
er/service partner.
• Lamp part malfunction due to elec-
trical 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
he momentary flickering, or the flick-
ering continues, have the system
serviced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• 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. Therefore, a lamp
malfunction history may be record-
ed 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 vehi-
cle checked by a professional
workshop immediately. Kia rec-
ommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
Maintenance
✽ ✽ NOTICE
We recommend that the headlight
aiming be adjusted after an accident
or after the headlight assembly is rein-
stalled at an authorised Kia dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or wash-
ing, headlamp and taillamp lenses
could appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature differ-
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con-
densation 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.
