2018–2023 Kia Stinger FAQ
When should I replace the climate control air filter?
2022–2023
Replace the climate control air filter according to the Maintenance Schedule; dusty, rough roads require more frequent inspections and changes.
Page 204 in the 2023 manual →2018–2021
If filter buildup decreases airflow or causes windshield moisture, have the filter replaced by an authorized Kia dealer.
A sudden airflow decrease requires a system check at an authorized Kia dealer.
Page 236 in the 2021 manual →What should I check on the spark plugs before winter driving?
2023
Before winter driving, inspect the spark plugs and replace them if necessary; also check ignition wiring and components for cracks, wear, or damage.
Page 374 in the 2023 manual →What should I do if the air bag warning light stays on?
2023
If the light fails to turn on briefly, stays on after about 6 seconds, blinks at startup, or comes on while driving, the air bag system may be malfunctioning.
Have the air bag system inspected as soon as possible by an authorized Kia dealer.
Page 59 in the 2023 manual →What should I do if the rear LED turn signal stops working?
2023
Have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer; the integrated LED unit cannot be replaced separately, and repair should be done by a skilled technician because related parts may be damaged.
Page 477 in the 2023 manual →2022
With the headlights on, push the lever away from you to turn on the high beams; do not use them around other vehicles or leave the lights on long with the engine off.
Page 222 in the 2022 manual →How can I tell whether the automatic transmission fluid needs replacement?
2023
The fluid normally changes from red as you drive, so do not judge replacement need by color; use only specified fluid because incorrect fluid can cause malfunction or failure.
Page 429 in the 2023 manual →2022
No; the fluid starts red, normally darkens with driving, and should not be replaced based only on its color.
Page 503 in the 2022 manual →2018–2021
Do not check it under normal usage; in severe conditions, have an authorized Kia dealer change it per the scheduled maintenance.
Page 469 in the 2021 manual →How do I replace the smart key battery?
2023
- If the smart key is not working properly, replace its battery, or contact an authorized Kia dealer if unsure.
- Pry open the smart key center cover with a screw (-) driver.
- Replace the battery with a new CR2032, install it in the correct position, and reassemble the key in reverse order.
- Keep the button battery away from children because swallowing it can cause severe or fatal injuries within 2 hours.
- If you think the battery was swallowed or placed inside the body, seek immediate medical attention.
How do I know when scheduled service is due?
2022
With the service interval activated and time and distance adjusted, the display shows remaining mileage and days, or says service is required when due.
Page 177 in the 2022 manual →What should I do if my smart key does not work correctly?
2022
Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock the door, then contact an authorized Kia dealer about the smart key problem.
Page 104 in the 2022 manual →What should I do if the brake fluid level is low?
2018–2021
A gradual drop can be normal as brake linings wear, but an excessively low level requires an authorized Kia dealer to check the brake system.
If the brake system needs fluid added frequently, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
Page 478 in the 2021 manual →What does the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator mean?
2018–2021
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator means the front passenger air bag system is deactivated.
