Light Bulbs - Kia Sorento Owner's Manual

LIGHT BULBS

WARNING
Working on
-
the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switch
is turned to the LOCK position
and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
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, we recommend that
you consult an authorised Kia
dealer. In many cases, it is diffi-
cult 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 assem-
bly can result in damage to the
vehicle.
Maintenance
✽ ✽ 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, we recom-
mend that the vehicle be checked by
an authorised Kia dealer.
