2017 KIA OPTIMA PLUG-IN HYBRID engine

AFLS (Adaptive Front Lighting
System) (if equipped)
Adaptive front lighting system uses the
steering angle and vehicle speed, to keep your field of vision wide by swivel‐
ing and leveling the headlamp.
Change the switch to the AUTO position
when the engine is running. The adap‐ tive front lighting system will operate
when the headlamp is ON. To turn off
the AFLS, change the switch to other
positions. After turning the AFLS off,
headlamp swiveling no longer occurs,
but leveling operates continuously. If the AFLS malfunction indicator comes
on, the AFLS is not working properly.
Drive to the nearest safe location and
restart the engine. If the indicator con‐ tinuously remains on, we recommend
that the system be checked by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer.

How vehicle radio works
FM reception
0+'-
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted
by the radio antenna on your vehicle.
This signal is then received by the radio and sent to your vehicle speakers. When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best possible quality reproduction. However,
in some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station, close‐
ness of other strong radio stations or
the presence of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area.
