Kia Picanto (JA): Interior features / Cigarette lighter

For the cigarette lighter to work, the ignition switch must be in the ACC position or the ON position.

To use the cigarette lighter, push it all the way into its socket. When the element has heated, the lighter will pop out to the “ready” position.

If it is necessary to replace the cigarette lighter, use only a genuine Kia replacement or its approved equivalent.

WARNING

• Do not hold the lighter in after it is already heated because it will overheat.
• If the lighter does not pop out within 30 seconds, remove it to prevent overheating.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the socket of the cigarette lighter. It may damage the cigarette lighter.

CAUTION

Only a genuine Kia lighter should be used in the cigarette lighter socket. The use of plugin accessories (shavers, handheld vacuums, and coffee pots, etc.) may damage the socket or cause electrical failure.
