I would take car out in dark & see which way you get the kick up.

 

Of course, I will, when it gets dark. The fact remains the diagrams do not seem correct.

 

I would expect this is yet another example of Kia’s ‘Cack Handed’ way of trying to adapt EU software to UK software and getting it wrong again, and they’ve just forgotten to reverse the images In line with the switch.

 

Perhaps. I have sent the query to my dealer.

 

It sounds similar to the dealer my sons buys his cars from, they have a specific team whose only job is to deal with the tech and tech issues. His just picked up a new Mercedes AMG CLA and the tech guy spent 40 minutes going through all the tech and making sure he understood. It is a completely different experience from buying Kia, but it should be at those prices...
I think most garages are way behind on the electronic/tech side, they have a lot of catching up to do.

 

Perhaps it needs to see some lights to activate

 

Yes, quite possibly. I hadn't thought of that. It has smart dipping switched on.

 

Think it's set up for EU cars coming to UK / Malta / Cyprus. They did not change the graphic for UK cars....

 

Most modern cars don’t have a ‘kick up’ pattern to their dipped beam lights. It’s almost flat topped, the ’kick up’ is almost unnoticeable. So when the travel mode is selected, it’s probably quite difficult to notice a difference. I’ll check tonight though as it’s good to know these things.
