Kia Sportage: Battery saver function
This vehicle is equipped with a variety of lights to illuminate the interior and exterior of the vehicle.
CAUTION
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the headlamp and interior light on for a prolonged time while the engine is not running.
Battery saver function
The purpose of this feature is to prevent the battery from being discharged if the lights are left in the ON position. The system automatically shuts off the parking lights after the engine is off and the driver's door is opened.
However, the position lamps stay ON even when the driver-side door is opened if the light switch is operated after the engine is turned off.
If necessary, to keep the lamps on turn the position lamps OFF and ON again using the headlamp switch on the steering column after the engine is turned off.
Headlamp delay function
If you place the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button in the ACC or OFF position with the headlamps ON, the headlamps (and/or parking lights) remain on for about 5 minutes. However, with the engine off if the driver's door is opened and closed, the headlamps (and/or parking lights) are turned off after 15 seconds.
The headlamps (and/or parking lights) can be turned off by pressing the lock button on the smart key twice or turning the light switch to the OFF or AUTO position. However, if you turn the light switch to the AUTO position when it is dark outside, the headlamps will not be turned off.
You can activate or deactivate the Headlamp Delay function from the User Settings Mode in the LCD display. For more details, refer to "User settings mode"
If your vehicle is equipped with additional navigation, please refer to the infotainment system manual separately supplied.
NOTICE
If the driver exits the vehicle through another door besides the driver door, the battery saver function does not operate and the headlamp delay function does not turn OFF automatically.
This may cause the battery to discharge.
To avoid battery discharge, turn OFF the headlamps manually from the headlamp switch before exiting the vehicle.
