Adjusting instrument cluster illumination

To customize the brightness of the instrument panel illumination in your Kia K4, simply press the illumination control buttons labeled with "+" or "-" symbols. You can perform this adjustment whenever the ignition switch or the ENGINE START/STOP button is positioned in the ON state, or alternatively, whenever the vehicle's tail lights are activated.

By tailoring the cluster brightness, you can ensure optimal visibility of your Kia K4 data displays, reducing eye strain during night-time driving while maintaining clarity under bright daylight conditions.

WARNING

For your safety and the safety of others, never attempt to adjust the instrument cluster illumination while the Kia K4 is in motion. Attempting to change vehicle settings while driving can result in a loss of focus, leading to a loss of vehicle control and an accident, which may cause serious injury, fatality, or significant property damage.

Kia K4 (CL4) 2025-2026 Owner's Manual: Engine coolant

The high-pressure cooling system of the Kia K4 is equipped with a specialized reservoir pre-filled at the factory with a high-quality, year-round ethylene-glycol antifreeze coolant. This system is engineered to maintain optimal operating temperatures across diverse climates. To ensure the long-term reliability of your Kia K4, we recommend checking the antifreeze protection levels and the overall coolant volume at least once annually—ideally before the onset of the winter season—and always prior to embarking on long-distance travel to regions with significantly colder climates.
