Light Bulbs - Kia Soul 2022 Owner's Manual

Maintenance

Light bulbs

Light bulbs are installed in various
parts of the vehicle to provide light -
ing inside and outside the vehicle as
well as to alert other vehicles.
Bulb replacement precaution
Please keep extra bulbs on hand
with appropriate wattage ratings in
case of emergencies.
Refer to "Bulb wattage" on page 8-
4.
When changing lamps, first turn off
the vehicle at a safe place, firmly
apply the parking brake and detach
the battery's negative (-) terminal.
WARNING
Working on the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure that
turn off the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button and
turn off the lights to avoid sudden
movement of the vehicle and burn -
ing your fingers or receiving an elec -
tric shock.
Use only bulbs of the specified
wattage.
CAUTION
Light replacement
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electric wir -
ing system.
CAUTION
Headlamp Lens
To prevent damage, do not clean the
headlamp lens with chemical sol -
vents or strong detergents.
NOTICE
If the light bulb or lamp connector
is removed while the lamp is still
on, the fuse box's electronic sys -
tem may log it as a malfunction.
Therefore, a lamp malfunction
incident may be recorded as a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in
the fuse box.
It is normal for an operating lamp
to flicker momentarily. This is due
to a stabilization function of the
vehicle's electronic control device.
If the lamp lights up normally
after momentarily blinking, then
it is functioning as normal.
However, if the lamp continues to
flicker several times or turns off
completely, there may be an error
in the vehicle's electronic control
