• Do not disassemble a front view
camera temporarily for tinted
window or attaching any types of
coatings and accessories. If you
disassemble the camera and

cle to an authorized Kia dealer
and have the system checked to
need a calibration.
• When you replace or reinstall the windshield glass or front view
camera, take your vehicle to an

the system checked.
• Be careful that water doesn't get into the High Beam Assist unit and
do not remove or damage parts of
the High Beam Assist system.
• Do not place objects on the dash board that reflect light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. The sys-
tem may not be able to function if
sunlight is reflected. (Continued)(Continued)
• At times, the High Beam Assist
may not operate due to system
limitations. The system is for your
convenience only.
It is the responsibility of the driv-
er to drive safely and always check
the road conditions.
• When the system does not operate normally, change the lamp posi-
tion manually between the high
beam and low beam.

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

Features of your vehicle
Headlight leveling device
(if equipped)
Automatic type
To ensure the proper headlight beam
is used under various conditions, the
headlight beam levels are automati-
cally adjusted depending on the
number of passengers, the weight in
the trunk, and other driving condi-
tions.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If the headlight beam is irradiated to
the high or low position, have the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
Do not attempt to inspect or replace
the wiring yourself.
Dynamic Bending Light (DBL)
(if equipped)
Dynamic Bending Light (DBL) uses
the steering angle and vehicle speed,
to keep your field of vision wide by
swiveling and leveling the headlamp.
Change the switch to the AUTO posi-
tion when the engine is running. The
dynamic Bending Light (DBL) will
operate when the headlamp is ON.
To turn off the DBL, change the
switch to other positions. After turn-
ing the DBL off, headlamp swiveling
no longer occurs, but leveling oper-
ates continuously.
