Kia Sportage: Lighting / 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 30 seconds after the ignition key is removed and the driver’s door is opened and closed.
• With this feature, the parking lights will turn off automatically if the driver parks on the side of the road at night and opens the driver’s side door.
  If necessary, to keep the parking lights on when the ignition key is removed, perform the following:
  1) Open the driver-side door.
  2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON again using the light switch on the steering column.
