LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specifiedwattage.
✽✽ NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or wash-
ing the vehicle, headlight and tail-
light lenses could appear frosty. This
condition is caused by the tempera-
ture 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, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switchis turned to the LOCK position
and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned- out bulb with one of the samewattage rating. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the fuseor electric wiring system.
CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary tools, the correct bulbs andthe expertise, we recommend that you consult an authorizedKia dealer. In many cases, it isdifficult to replace vehicle light bulbs because otherparts of the vehicle must beremoved before you can get to the bulb. This is especially trueif you have to remove the head-light assembly to get to the bulb(s). Removing/installingthe headlight assembly canresult in damage to the vehicle.
Do not install additional bulb or LED. If you install that, thelamp may not be operatedproperly and fuse box or elec-tric wiring system may have problem.
