CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary tools,
the correct bulbs and the expertise,
consult a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to consult an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner. In
many cases, it is difficult to replace
vehicle light bulbs because other
parts of the vehicle must be re‐
moved before you can get to the
bulb. This is especially true if you
have to remove the headlight as‐
sembly to get to the bulb(s). Remov‐
ing/ installing the headlight assem‐
bly can result in damage to the vehi‐
cle.
CAUTION
• If unauthentic parts or substan‐
dard lights are used when chang‐
ing lights, it may lead to fuse dis‐
connection and malfunction, and
other wiring damages.
• Do not install extra lamps or LED
to the vehicle. If supplementary
lights are installed, it may lead to
lamp malfunction and flickering of
the lights. In addition, the fuse box
and other writing may be dam‐
aged.
• Lamp part malýunction due to net-
work ýailure
The headlamp, tailliþht, and ýoþ liþht
may lit up when the head lamp
switch is turned ON, and not liþht up
when the tailliþht or ýor liþht switch
is turned ON. This may be cause by
network ýailure or vehicle electrical
control system malýunction. Iý there
is a problem, have the system serv‐
iced by a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
