Active air flap malfunction
A: Check Active Air Flap System
The active air flap system may not operate normally if the air flap is temporarily opened due to foreign factors or if the controller is contaminated by snow or rain, etc.
When the message is displayed, stop the vehicle in a safe place and check the status of the air flap.
Start the vehicle after removing the foreign matter and waiting 10 minutes. If the message remains, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

Regardless of the warning message display, if the air flaps are visually asymmetrical (vehicles with exposed flap applied), turn off the engine, inspect the air flap and restart after about 10 minutes.

The active air flap system is actuated by motors. Do not disturb actuation or apply force excessively. It may cause failure.
Active air flap system could be activated regardless of the vehicle condition.(Parking, driving, charging, etc.)
