HAZARD WARNING FLASHER

D170400BUN

Self-diagnosis

Battery saver function

(if equipped)

If you don’t hear an audible warning

sound or if the buzzer sounds intermit-

tently when shifting the gear to the R

(Reverse) position, this may indicate a

malfunction in the rear parking assist

system. If this occurs, have your vehicle

checked by an authorized KIA dealer as

soon as possible.

• The purpose of this feature is to pre-

vent the battery from being dis-

charged. The system automatically

turns off the exterior lights when the

driver removes the ignition key and

opens the driver-side door.

• With this feature, the parking lights will

be turned off automatically if the driver

parks on the side of road at night.

WARNING

If necessary, to keep the lights on

when the ignition key is removed, per-

form the following:

Your new vehicle warranty does not

cover any accidents or damage to

the vehicle or its occupants due to

a rear parking assist system mal-

function. Always drive safely and

cautiously.

The hazard warning flasher should be

used whenever you find it necessary to

stop the car in a hazardous location.

When you must make such an emer-

gency stop, always pull off the road as far

as possible.

2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON

again using the light switch on the

steering column.

The hazard warning lights are turned on

by pushing in the hazard switch. This

causes all turn signal lights to blink. The

hazard warning lights will operate even

though the key is not in the ignition

switch.

To turn the hazard warning lights off,

push the switch a second time.
