Battery saver function
If necessary, to keep the lights on when the ignition key is removed, (smart key: turns off the engine) perform the following:
1. Open the driver-side door.
2. Turn the parking lights OFF and ON again using the light switch on the steering column.
Rear View Monitor system will activate when the back-up light is ON with the ignition switch ON and the shift lever in the R (Reverse) position. This system is a supplemental system that shows behind the vehicle through the navigation display while backingup.
The headlights (and/or taillights) will remain on for approximately 5 minutes after the ignition key is removed when the engine is turned off. However, if the driver’s door is opened and closed, the headlights are turned off after 15 seconds.
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free, calcium-based battery. If the battery becomes discharged in a short time (because, for example, the headlights or interior lights were left on while the vehicle was not in use), recharge it by slow charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the stop and tail lamp (LED) (1,2), does not operate, have your vehicle checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner. The LED lamps cannot be replaced as a single unit because it is an integrated unit.
