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.

WARNING - Halogen bulbs
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surized gas that will produce
flying pieces of glass if bro-ken.
Always handle them carefully, and avoid scratches and abra-
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 burstwhen lit.
A bulb should be operated
only when installed in a head-light.
If a bulb becomes damaged or cracked, replace it immediate-
ly and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when changing a bulb. Allow the
bulb to cool down before han-dling it.

If the light bulb is not operating, have
the vehicle checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
✽✽ NOTICE
HID/LED lamps have superior per-
formance vs. halogen bulbs.
HID/LED lamps are estimated by
the manufacturer to last twice as
long or longer than halogen bulbs
depending on their frequency of use.
They will probably require replace-
ment at some point in the life of the
vehicle. Cycling the headlamps on
and off more than typical use will
shorten HID/LED lamps life.
HID/LED lamps do not fail in the
same manner as halogen incandes-
cent lamps. If a headlamp goes out
after a period of operation but will
immediately relight when the head-
lamp switch is cycled it is likely the
HID/LED lamp needs to be
replaced. HID/LED lighting compo-
nents are more complex than con-
ventional halogen bulbs thus have
higher replacement cost. ✽✽
NOTICE
We recommend that the headlight
aiming be adjusted after an accident
or after the headlight assembly is
reinstalled at an authorized Kia
dealer.
WARNING - HID/LED
Headlight low beam (if equipped)
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON
bulb/LED) due to electric shock
danger. If the low beam (XENON
bulb/LED) is not working, have
your vehicle checked by an
authorized Kia Dealer.

Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warningand caution statements that appearon the label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash itthoroughly and frequently at least
once a month with lukewarm or cold
water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign
materials. Make sure the drain holes
in the lower edges of the doors and
rocker panels are kept clear andclean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar
deposits can damage your vehicle’s
finish if not removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain
water may not completely remove all
these deposits. A mild soap, safe for
use on painted surfaces, may beused.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the fin-ish.
APPEARANCE CARECAUTION
Do not use strong soap, chem-
ical detergents or hot water,and do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or when thebody of the vehicle is warm.
Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle.Especially, with high-pressure water, water may leak throughthe windows and wet the inte-rior.
parts and lamps, do not cleanwith chemical solvents orstrong detergents.
WARNING - Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes while driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while
maintaining a slow forwardspeed.

Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle
before waxing. Use a good quality
liquid or paste wax, and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Wax all
metal trim to protect it and to main-
tain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materi-
als with a spot remover will usually
strip the wax from the finish. Be sure to
re-wax these areas even if the rest of
the vehicle does not yet need waxing.Finish damage repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly
rust and may develop into a major
repair expense.
✽✽
NOTICE
If your vehicle is damaged and
requires any metal repair or
replacement, be sure the body shop
applies anti-corrosion materials to
the parts repaired or replaced.
CAUTION
Wiping dust or dirt off the body with a dry cloth willscratch the finish.
Do not use steel wool, abra- sive cleaners, or strong deter-gents containing high alkalineor caustic agents on chrome- plated or anodized aluminumparts. This may result in dam-age to the protective coating and cause discoloration orpaint deterioration.
CAUTION
Water washing in the engine compartment including highpressure water washing maycause the failure of electricalcircuits or engine and related part located in the enginecompartment.
Never allow water or other liq- uids to come in contact withelectrical/electronic compo- nents and air duct inside thevehicle as this may damagethem.
