Light bulbs

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-
3.

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
the vehicle start/stop button is in
OFF position and turn off the lights
to avoid sudden movement of the
vehicle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric 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

䳜 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.

䳜 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
device. Please have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia
dealer immediately.

NOTICE

We recommend that the headlight
aiming be adjusted by an authorized
Kia dealer after an accident or after
the headlight assembly is rein-
stalled.

NOTICE

After driving in heavy rain or wash-
ing, headlamp and taillamp lenses
could appear frosty. This condition
is caused by the temperature dif-
ference 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, we recom-
mend that you have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

If you don't have the 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
headlamp assembly to get to the
bulb(s).

Removing/installing the headlamp
assembly can result in damage to

the vehicle. If non-genuine parts or
substandard bulbs are used, it may
lead to blowing a fuse or other wir-
ing damages.

Do not install extra lamps or LEDs to
the vehicle. If additional lights are
installed, it may lead to lamp mal-
functions and flickering. Addition-
ally, the fuse box and other writing
may be damaged.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs
Handle halogen bulbs with care.
䳜 Halogen bulbs contain pressurized

gas that will produce flying pieces
of glass if broken.

䳜 Always handle them carefully, and

avoid scratches and abrasions. If
the bulbs are lit, avoid contact
with liquids. Never touch the glass
with bare hands. Residual oil may
cause the bulb to overheat and
burst when lit. A bulb should be
operated only when installed in a
headlamp.

䳜 If a bulb becomes damaged or

cracked, replace it immediately
and carefully dispose of it.

䳜 Wear eye protection when chang-

ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool
down before handling it.
