Driving your vehicle
Lane change signals To signal a lane change, move the turn
signal lever slightly and hold it in position.
The lever will return to the OFF position
when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one of the
turn signal bulbs may be burned out and
will require replacement.✽ ✽NOTICEIf an indicator flash is abnormally quick
or slow, bulb may be burned out or have
a poor electrical connection in the cir-
cuit.
Automatic headlight aiming
(if equipped)To provide better driver visibility and
reduce eye fatigue, the headlight aiming
(direction) is automatically controlled
depending on vehicle load and vehicle
angle (when vehicle is loaded with pas-
sengers, cargo or used for towing, the
additional load can alter the headlight
aiming point on the road surface). This
system provides constant automatic
headlight aiming under various vehicle
conditions and angles to ensure the
headlights are always pointed in the right
direction.
Front fog light (if equipped) Fog lights are used to provide improved
visibility and avoid accidents when visibil-
ity is poor due to fog, rain or snow etc.
The fog lights will turn on when fog light
switch (
➀) is turned to ON (
➁) after the
headlight switch is turned on.
To turn off the fog lights, turn the switch
to OFF.
✽ ✽ NOTICEWhen in operation, the fog lights con-
sume large amounts of vehicle electrical
power. Only use the fog lights when vis-
ibility is poor or unnecessary battery
and generator drain could occur.
CAUTION
If the automatic headlight aiming
system does not operate when thevehicle is loaded with passengersand the front portion of the vehicleis at an elevated angle, or it is not adjusting correctly, have the vehiclechecked and repaired by an author- ized Kia dealer. Do not attempt toadjust the headlights manually, damage to the automatic headlightaiming system could occur.

Headlight bulb replacement ✽
✽ NOTICEAfter 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.
WARNING
- Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake and ensure
that the ignition switch is turned to
the “LOCK” position to avoid sud-
den movement of the vehicle and
burning your fingers or receiving an
electric shock.
CAUTION
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 replacevehicle light bulbs because otherparts of the vehicle must beremoved before you can get the bulb. Especially if you must removethe front bumper to replace the lightbulbs in the front of the vehicle. This may result in damage to thevehicle.

sions. 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
