Features of your vehicle
Headlight levelling device (if equipped)
Manual type
To adjust the headlight beam level
according to the number of the pas-
sengers and the loading weight in
the luggage area, turn the beam lev-
elling switch.
The higher the number of the switch
is positioned, the lower the headlight
beam level. Always keep the head-
light beam at the proper levelling
position, or headlights may dazzle
other road users.Listed below are the examples of
proper switch settings. For loadingconditions other than those listed
below, adjust the switch position so
that the beam level may be the near-est as the condition obtained accord-ing to the list.
Automatic type
It automatically adjusts the headlight
beam level according to the number
of passengers and loading weight inthe luggage area.
And it offers proper headlight beam
under various conditions.

WARNING
If it does not work properly even
though your vehicle is inclined
backward according to passen-
ger's posture, or the headlightbeam is irradiated to the high or
low position, we recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorised Kia dealer. Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the wiring yourself.

Maintenance
Headlight (Low, HID type),Position light/DRL (LED type)
If the light does not operate, we rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by an authorised Kia dealer.
✽✽ NOTICE
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps
are estimated by the manufacturer to
last twice as long or longer than halo-
gen bulbs depending on their fre-
quency of use. They will probably
require replacement at some point in
the life of the vehicle. Cycling the
headlamps on and off more than typ-
ical use will shorten HID lamps life.
HID lamps do not fail in the same
manner as halogen incandescent
lamps. If a headlamp goes out after a
period of operation but will immedi-
ately relight when the headlamp
switch is cycled it is likely the HID
lamp needs to be replaced. HID light-
ing components are more complex
than conventional halogen bulbs thus
have higher replacement cost.❈❈ Traffic 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
change system, adhesive sheet,
down aiming). This headlamps are
designed not to dazzle opposite driv-
ers. So, you need not change your
headlamps in a country with oppo-
site traffic direction.
WARNING - HID
Headlight low beam (if equipped)
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON
bulb) due to electric shock dan-
ger. If the low beam (XENON
bulb) is not working, we recom-mend that the system be
checked by an authorised Kia
dealer.
