Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

This indicator light illuminates:

• After you turn the ignition key or Engine Start/Stop button to the ON position.
  - Remains on until the engine starts.
• If there is a malfunction in the emission control system.
  In this case, we recommend that you have the vehicle checked at an authorized Kia dealer service center.

CAUTION - Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

Driving with the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated may cause damage to the emission control system, which may affect drivability and/or fuel economy.

WARNING - Gasoline Engine

If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminates, the catalytic converter may be damaged, which may result in loss of engine power. In this case, we recommend that you have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING - Diesel Engine with Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)

When the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) flashes, it may stop flashing after driving the vehicle:

- at speeds above 60 km/h, or
- in a gear higher than 2nd at 1500~2000 rpm engine speed for a certain period of time (approx. 25 minutes).

If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) continues to flash despite these procedures, we recommend that you have the DPF system checked at an authorized Kia dealer service center.

If you continue driving with the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) flashing for an extended period, the DPF system may be damaged and fuel economy may deteriorate.

If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) flashes, an error related to fuel injection quantity control may have occurred, which may result in loss of engine power, combustion noise, and poor emissions.

In this case, we recommend that you have the engine control system checked at an authorized Kia dealer.
