pleted. If the indicator continues to

lever to the OFF position.
To signal a lane change, move the
turn signal lever slightly and hold it in

the OFF position when released.If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one

burned out and will require replace-
ment.

out or have a poor electrical connec-
tion in the circuit.

correct bulbs and the expertise, con-
sult an authorized Kia dealer. In
many cases, it is difficult to replace

before you can get to the bulb. This is
especially true if you have to remove
the headlight assembly to get to the
bulb(s). Removing/installing the
headlight assembly can result in
damage to the vehicle.

firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switch
is turned to the “LOCK” position

burning your fingers or receiv-
ing an electric shock.

out bulb with one of the samewattage rating. Otherwise, itmay cause damage to the fuseor electric wiring system.
