•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, have the system
serviced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner.
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.

•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. In this case, have the vehi‐
cle checked by a professional
workshop immediately. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
After an accident or after the head‐
light assembly is reinstalled, have
the headlight aiming adjusted by a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or wash‐
ing, headlamp and taillamp 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 a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
nTraffic 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

designed not to dazzle opposite driv‐
ers. So, you need not change your
headlamps in a country with oppo‐
site traffic direction.
