5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips.
If it fits loosely, we recommend that
you consult an authorised Kia dealer.
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuityou may not need for operating the vehicle, such as the cigar lighterfuse. If the headlights, fog lights, turn sig-

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
✽✽ NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or wash-
ing the vehicle, headlight and tail-
light lenses could appear foggy. 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 rain and
does not 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 authorised Kia dealer.WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switch
is turned to the “LOCK” position
(smart key: turn off the engine)
and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
getting 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 do not have necessarytools, the correct bulbs and theexpertise, we recommend that you consult an authorised Kiadealer. In many cases, it is diffi-cult to replace vehicle lightbulbs because other parts of the vehicle must be removed beforeyou can get to the bulb. This isespecially true if you have to remove the headlight assemblyto get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the head-light assembly can result indamage to the vehicle.

Maintenance
Headlight (Low, HID type),Position light/DRL (LED type)
If the light does not operate, we rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by an authorised Kia dealer.
✽✽ NOTICE
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps
are estimated by the manufacturer to
last twice as long or longer than halo-
gen bulbs depending on their fre-
quency of use. They will probably
require replacement at some point in
the life of the vehicle. Cycling the
headlamps on and off more than typ-
ical use will shorten HID lamps life.
HID lamps do not fail in the same
manner as halogen incandescent
lamps. If a headlamp goes out after a
period of operation but will immedi-
ately relight when the headlamp
switch is cycled it is likely the HID
lamp needs to be replaced. HID light-
ing components are more complex
than conventional halogen bulbs thus
have higher replacement cost.❈❈ Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a
country with opposite traffic direc-
tion, this asymmetric part will dazzle
oncoming car driver. To prevent daz-
zle, ECE regulation demand several
technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive sheet,
down aiming). This headlamps are
designed not to dazzle opposite driv-
ers. So, you need not change your
headlamps in a country with oppo-
site traffic direction.
WARNING - HID
Headlight low beam (if equipped)
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON
bulb) due to electric shock dan-
ger. If the low beam (XENON
bulb) is not working, we recom-mend that the system be
checked by an authorised Kia
dealer.
