light KIA STONIC 2018 Owners Manual

•Lamp part malfunction due to electri‐cal control system stabilization
A normally functioning lamp may
flicker momentarily. This momentary occurrence is due to stabilization unc‐
tion of the vehicle's electrical on con‐
trol system. If the lamp soon returns
to normal, the vehicle does not re‐
quire service.
However, if the lamp goes out after he momentary flickering, or the flick‐
ering continues, have the system
serviced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner.
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. There‐
fore, 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. In this case, have the vehi‐
cle checked by a professional
workshop immediately. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
After an accident or after the head‐
light assembly is reinstalled, have
the headlight aiming adjusted by a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or wash‐
ing, headlamp and taillamp lenses
could appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature differ‐
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con‐
densation 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, have the vehicle
checked by a professional workshop.

ized Kia dealer/service partner.

APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly and frequently at least once
a month with lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign mate‐ rials. Make sure the drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors and rocker
panels are kept clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, in‐ dustrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used. After washing, rinse the vehicle thor‐
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish.
CAUTION
•Do not use strong soap, chemicaldetergents or hot water, and donot wash the vehicle in direct sun‐light or when the body of the vehi‐cle is warm.
•Be careful when washing the sidewindows of your vehicle.Especially, with high-pressure wa‐ter, water may leak through thewindows and wet the interior.
•To prevent damage to the plasticparts and lamps, do not clean withchemical solvents or strong deter‐gents.
WARNING
nWet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test thebrakes while driving slowly to see if

they have been affected by water. Ifbraking performance is impaired, drythe brakes by applying them lightlywhile maintaining a slow forwardspeed.
High-pressure washing
• When using high-pressure washers, make sure to maintain sufficient dis‐
tance from the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive pressure can lead to component
damage or water penetration.
• Do not spray the camera, sensors or its surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock applied
from high pressure water may cause the device to not operate normally.
• Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be damaged
if they come into contact with high
pressure water.
Maintenance

Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these ma‐ terials are not removed, accelerated
rusting can occur on underbody parts
such as the fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust system, even though they
have been treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody
and wheel openings with lukewarm or cold water once a month, after off-
road driving and at the end of each
winter. Pay special attention to these areas because it is difficult to see all
the mud and dirt. It will do more harm
than good to wet down the road grime without removing it. The lower edges
of the doors, rocker panels, and frame
members have drain holes that should not clog with dirt; trapped water in
these areas can cause rusting.
WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test thebrakes while driving slowly to see ifthey have been affected by water. Ifbraking performance is impaired, dry
(Continued)

the brakes by applying them lightlywhile maintaining a slow forwardspeed.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated with a
clear protective finish. • Do not use any abrasive cleaner, pol‐ ishing compound, solvent, or wirebrushes on aluminum wheels. They
may scratch or damage the finish.
• Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
• Use only a mild soap or neutral deter‐ gent, and rinse thoroughly with wa‐
ter. Also, be sure to clean the wheels
after driving on salted roads. This helps prevent corrosion.
• Avoid washing the wheels with high- speed car wash brushes.
• Do not use any alkaline or acid deter‐ gent. It may damage and corrode the
aluminum wheels coated with a clear
protective finish.
Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion
By using the most advanced design and
construction practices to combat corro‐ sion, we produce vehicles of the highest
quality. However, this is only part of
the job. To achieve the long-term cor‐ rosion resistance your vehicle can deliv‐
er, the owner's cooperation and assis‐
tance is also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion on your vehicle are: • Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed to accumulate underneath
the vehicle.
• Removal of paint or protective coat‐ ings by stones, gravel, abrasion or
minor scrapes and dents which leave unprotected metal exposed to corro‐
sion.
High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your vehicle
is regularly exposed to corrosive mate‐ rials, corrosion protection is particularly
important. Some of the common cau‐
ses of accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air
and industrial pollution.
