✽✽ NOTICE
After heavy rain or washing, headlight
and taillight lenses could appear frosty.This condition is caused by the tempera-
ture difference between the lamp inside
and outside. This is similar to the con-
densation on your windows inside yourvehicle during rain and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle. If the water
leaks into the lamp bulb circuitry, havethe vehicle checked by an authorized
KIA dealer.

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.
