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.

•Lamp part malfunction due to electri‐cal control system stabilization
A normally functioning lamp may
flicker momentarily. This momentary occurrence is due to stabilization unc‐
tion of the vehicle's electrical on con‐
trol system. If the lamp soon returns
to normal, the vehicle does not re‐
quire service.
However, if the lamp goes out after he momentary flickering, or the flick‐
ering continues, we recommend the
system be serviced by an authorized
Kia dealer.
NOTICE
•If the light bulb or lamp connector
is removed from an operating
lamp activated by electricity, the
fuse box’s electronic device may
scan it as a malfunction. There‐
fore, a lamp malfunction history
may be recorded in Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) in the fuse
box.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•It is normal for an operating lamp
may blink temporarily. Since this
occurrence is due stabilization
function of the vehicle’s electronic
control device, if the lamp lights up
normally after temporary blinking,
there is no problem in the vehicle.
However, if the lamp continues to
blink several times or turn off
completely, there may be an error
in the vehicle’s electronic control
device. So we recommend that
you have the vehicle checked by
an authorized Kia dealer immedi‐
ately.
NOTICE
We recommend that the headlight
aiming be adjusted after an accident
or after the headlight assembly is
reinstalled at an authorized Kia deal‐
er.
NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or wash‐
ing, headlamp and tail lamp lenses
could appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature differ‐
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con‐
densation 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, have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
