ate standards in case of emergen-
cies. (Refer to chapter 8 for further
information)
When changing lamps and sorts,
first turn off the engine at a safe
place, firmly apply the side brake and
take out the battery’s negative (-) ter-
minal.Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.✽ ✽ NOTICE
• If the light bulb or lamp connector
is removed from an operating
lamp activated by electricity, the
fuse box’s electronic device may
scan it as a malfunction.
Therefore, a lamp malfunction
history may be recorded in
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in
the fuse box.
• It is normal for an operating lamp may blink temporarily. Since this
occurrence is due stabilization
function of the vehicle’s electronic
control device, if the lamp lights
up normally after temporary
blinking, there is no problem in
the vehicle.
However, if the lamp continues to
blink several times or turn off
completely, there may be an error
in the vehicle’s electronic control
device. So please have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia
dealer immediately.
WARNING - 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 vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION -Light replace-
ment

Maintenance
If you don’t have necessary tools, the
correct bulbs and the expertise, con-
sult an authorized Kia dealer. 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 unauthentic parts or substandard
lights are used when changing lights,
it may lead to fuse disconnection and
malfunction, and other wiring dam-
ages.
Do not install extra lamps or LED to
the vehicle. If supplementary lights
are installed, it may lead to lamp mal-
function and flickering of the lights. In
addition, the fuse box and other writ-
ing may be damaged.Front lamp bulb replacement(1) Headlamp (High and DRL)

the bulbs are lit, avoid contact with
liquids. Never touch the glass with
bare hands. Residual oil may
cause the bulb to overheat and
burst when lit. A bulb should be
operated only when installed in a
headlamp.
If a bulb becomes damaged or cracked, replace it immediately
and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when chang- ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool
down before handling it.

Headlamp low (HID), Positionlamp (LED)/Side markerlamp(LED) replacement
If the light bulb does not operate,
have the vehicle checked by an
authorized 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
halogen bulbs depending on their
frequency of use. They will probably
require replacement at some point
in the life of the vehicle. Cycling the
headlamps on and off more than
typical use will shorten HID lamps
life. HID lamps do not fail in the
same manner as halogen incandes-
cent lamps. If a headlamp goes out
after a period of operation but will
immediately relamp when the head-
lamp switch is cycled it is likely the
HID lamp needs to be replaced. HID
lamping components are more com-
plex than conventional halogen
bulbs thus have higher replacement
cost.
Side repeater lamp replace-
ment
If the light bulb does not
operate,have the vehicle checked by
an authorized Kia dealer. A skilled
technician should check or repair the
side repeater lamp, for it may dam-
age related out side mirror parts of
the vehicle.
