Warning Lights
These warning lights indicate a potential issue with your Kia K5. When they appear on your dashboard, they usually light up in red, orange, or yellow. With warning lights, it’s best to proceed with caution, as, depending on the particular issue, it may need immediate attention.
Now that you know the basics of warning lights, let’s dive into some of the most common ones and what they mean for your Kia.
Airbag Warning Light
This warning light usually illuminates when you start your Kia, letting you know that your airbags are ready to go in the event of an accident. The airbag warning light glows red and looks like a person buckled up with a ball in front.
Here are some signs that your airbag warning light isn’t working as intended:
- The airbag warning light stays illuminated after the initial six seconds after start.
- The airbag warning light blinks.
- The airbag warning light stays on while you drive.
If you see any of these signs occurring in your Kia K5, it’s best to head to our service center right away. That way, we can check for any potential malfunctions with your airbags.
Engine Oil Warning Light
The engine oil warning light glows red and looks like an oil can with a single drop of oil dripping from the spout and a wavy line underneath. If this light occurs, it’s important to check your Kia K5’s engine oil level.
If the light stays on after you add and check the oil and drive your Kia for 30 to 60 miles, it’s best to contact our dealership and bring your Kia in for service.
Indicator Lights
It’s time to dive into indicator lights and their functions. Unlike warning lights, indicator lights usually show that a function in your Kia K5 is turned on rather than alerting you to an emergency. They tend to glow green, yellow, or blue.
Let’s chat about some of the most common indicator lights you may see on your Kia K5 dashboard.
Cruise Indicator
If your Kia K5 has cruise control, the cruise indicator allows you to set your desired speed, so you don’t have to press on the gas. The cruise indicator glows green and looks like a speedometer with an angled arrow pointing to the top left corner.
When activated, the cruise indicator will stay on until turned off manually.
High Beam Indicator
If you are driving in poorly lit conditions or inclement weather, you may want to activate the high beams on your Kia K5. The high beam indicator glows blue and looks like a headlight with five parallel lines to the left side of it.
