Bulb Replacement - Kia 2011 RIO Owner's Manual

BULB REPLACEMENT

WARNING
- Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the lights, firm-
ly apply the parking brake, ensure
that the ignition switch is turned to
the "LOCK" position and turn off
the lights to avoid sudden move-
ment of the vehicle and burning
your fingers or receiving an electric
shock.
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
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 wiring system.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If you don't have necessary tools, the
correct bulbs and the expertise, consult
an authorized Kia dealer. In many cases,
it is difficult 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 front bumper to get
to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the front bumper
or bumper hardware improperly can
result in damage to the vehicle.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused by
the temperature difference between the
lamp inside and outside. This is similar
to the condensation 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 an authorized Kia dealer.
