LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
If you don’t have necessary tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise,
consult 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 headlight
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.
Do not install additional bulb or LED. If you install that, the lamp
may not be operated properly and
fuse box or electric wiring system
may have problem.Front light replacement

High Voltage Junction Block: Supplies power from the high voltage bat-
tery to the inverter, LDC, air-conditioner compressor, and PTC heater.
On-Board Charger (OBC): External device (low speed) to charge the high
voltage battery.
Inverter: Transforms direct current into alternating current to supply power
to the motor, and transforms alternating current into direct current to
charge the high voltage battery.
LDC: Transforms power from the high voltage battery to low voltage (12 V)
to supply power to the vehicle (DC-DC).
Motor: Uses electrical energy stored inside the high voltage battery to
drive the vehicle (functions like an engine in a standard vehicle).
Reduction Gear : Delivers rotational force of the motor to the tires at
appropriate speeds and torque.
High voltage battery (lithium-
ion polymer) : Stores and sup-
plies power necessary for the
electric vehicle to operate (12 V
auxiliary battery provides power to
the vehicle features such as lights
and wipers).
