Maintenance Light bulbs
䳜 If the light bulb or lamp connector
is removed while the lamp is still
on, the fuse box's electronic sys
tem may log it as a malfunction.
Therefore, a lamp malfunction
incident may be recorded as a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in
the fuse box.
䳜 It is normal for an operating lamp
to flicker momentarily. This is due
to a stabilization function of the
vehicle's electronic control device.
If the lamp lights up normally
after momentarily blinking, then
it is functioning as normal.
However, if the lamp continues to
flicker several times or turns 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.
We recommend that the headlight
aiming be adjusted by an authorized
Kia dealer after an accident or after
the headlight assembly is rein
stalled.
After driving in heavy rain or wash
ing, headlamp and taillamp lenses
could appear frosty. This condition
is caused by the temperature dif
ference between the lamp inside
and outside. This is similar to the
condensation 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, we recom
mend that you have the vehicle
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an autho
rized Kia dealer/service partner.
If you don't have the necessary
tools, the correct bulbs and the
expertise, consult a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner. In many cases, it is difficult
to replace vehicle light bulbs
because other parts of the vehicle
must be removed before you can
get to the bulb. This is especially
true if you have to remove the
headlamp assembly to get to the
bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlamp
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle. If non-genuine parts or
substandard bulbs are used, it may
lead to blowing a fuse or other wir
ing damages.
