Headlight levelling device (if equipped)
Manual type
To adjust the headlight beam level
according to the number of the passen-
gers and the loading weight in the lug-
gage area, turn the beam levelling
switch. The higher the number of the switch is
positioned, the lower the headlight beam
level. Always keep the headlight beam at
the proper levelling position, or head-
lights may dazzle other road users.
Listed below are the examples of proper
switch settings. For loading conditions
other than those listed below, adjust the
switch position so that the beam level
may be the nearest as the conditionobtained according to the list.
Automatic type
It automatically adjusts the headlight
beam level according to the number of
passengers and loading weight in theluggage area.
And it offers proper headlight beam
under various conditions.

irradiated to the high or low posi-
tion, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorised
Kia dealer. Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the wiring yourself.

✽✽NOTICE
If the headlight aiming adjustment is
necessary after the headlight assembly is
reinstalled, consult an authorised Kia
dealer.Headlight (Low, HID type), Position light/DRL (LED type)
If the light does not operate, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by an
authorised Kia dealer.
✽✽ NOTICE
HID lamps have superior performance
vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps are esti-
mated by the manufacturer to last twice
as long or longer than halogen bulbs
depending on their frequency of use.
They will probably require replacementat some point in the life of the vehicle.
Cycling the headlamps on and off morethan typical use will shorten HID lampslife. 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 immediately relightwhen the headlamp switch is cycled it is
likely the HID lamp needs to be replaced.
HID lighting components are more com-plex than conventional halogen bulbs
thus have higher replacement cost.
❈❈ Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is asym-
metric. If you go abroad to a country with
opposite traffic direction, this asymmetric
part will dazzle oncoming car driver. To
prevent dazzle, ECE regulation demand
several technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive sheet, down
aiming). This headlamps are designed
not to dazzle opposite drivers. So, you
need not change your headlamps in a
country with opposite 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 danger. If the
low beam (XENON bulb) is not
working, we recommend that the
system be checked by an autho-
rised Kia dealer.
