Please keep extra bulbs on hand with
appropriate wattage ratings in case of

Refer to "Bulb wattage" on page 8-3.
When changing lamps, first turn off the
engine at a safe place, firmly apply the
parking brake and detach the battery’s
negative (-) terminal.
Working on the lights
Prior to working on the lights, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure that the
ignition switch is turned to the LOCK
position and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehicle and
burning your fingers or receiving an
electric shock.
Use only bulbs of the specified wattage.

Be sure to replace the burnedout bulb
with one of the same wattage rating.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to the
fuse or electric wiring system.

rence is due to stabilization function of
the vehicle's electrical control system. If
the lamp soon returns to normal, the
vehicle does not require service.
However, if the lamp goes out after the
momentary flickering, or the flickering
continues, we recommend the system
should be serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer.

removed while the lamp is still on, the
fuse box's electronic system may log
it as a malfunction.
Therefore, a lamp malfunction inci

Trouble Code (DTC) in the fuse box.
