Maintenance
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 ser-
viced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service part-
ner.
Lamp part malfunction due to elec
trical control system stabilization
A normally functioning lamp may
flicker momentarily. This momen-
tary occurrence is due to stabiliza-
tion 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 continues, have the sys-
tem serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised 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. There-
fore, 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 vehi-
cle checked by a professional
workshop immediately. Kia rec-
ommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
After an accident or after the head-
light assembly is reinstalled, have
the headlight aiming adjusted by a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
