Headlight Follow-Me Home Feature (if equipped)

The headlights (and/or tail lights) will remain on for approximately 5 minutes after the ignition key is removed or turned to the ACC or LOCK position. However, if the driver's door is opened and closed, the headlights turn off after 15 seconds.

The headlights can be turned off by pressing the LOCK button on the transmitter (or Smart Key) twice, or by turning the light switch off or to the AUTO position.

If the driver exits the vehicle through another door (other than the driver's door), the energy saving function does not operate, and the headlight follow-me-home function does not turn off automatically. This will discharge the battery. In this case, be sure to turn off the lights before leaving the vehicle.

If the headlights do not operate properly, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

Do not attempt to inspect or replace the wiring yourself to prevent malfunction.

Headlight Welcome Function (if equipped)

When the light switch is in the ON or AUTO position and all doors (and the tailgate) are closed and locked, pressing the UNLOCK button on the transmitter (or Smart Key) will turn on the headlights for approximately 15 seconds.

If the headlight switch is in the AUTO position, this function may operate only at night.

During this time, if you press the UNLOCK button or LOCK button on the transmitter (or Smart Key) again, the headlights turn off immediately.
