Headlight And Front Fog Light Aiming (For Europe) - Kia Sorento Owner's Manual

Headlamp (HID type), Front posi-
tion (LED) lamp bulb replacement
If the light bulb does not operate, we
recommend that you checked an
authorised Kia dealer.
WARNING -
HID Headlamp low beam
(if equipped)
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON
bulb) due to electric shock dan-
ger. If the light bulb does not
operate, we recommend that
you checked an authorised Kia
dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps
are estimated by the manufacturer
to last twice as long or longer than
halogen bulbs depending on their
frequency of use. They will probably
require replacement at some point
in the life of the vehicle. Cycling the
headlamps on and off more than
typical use will shorten HID lamps
life. HID lamps do not fail in the
same manner as halogen incandes-
cent lamps. If a headlamp goes out
after a period of operation but will
immediately relamp when the head-
lamp switch is cycled it is likely the
HID lamp needs to be replaced. HID
lamping components are more com-
plex than conventional halogen
bulbs thus have higher replacement
cost.
