Active air flap malfunction

OCV095020N

  1. Check Active Air Flap System

The active air flap system might not operate normally if foreign substances have temporarily opened the air flap, or if snow or rain have contaminated the controller.

When the message displays on the instrument cluster, park the vehicle in a safe place and check the status of the air flap.

Start the vehicle after performing the necessary work like foreign matter removal and waiting 10 minutes. If the pop-up remains up, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION

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

  • The active air flap system is actuated by motors. Do not disturb actuation or apply force excessively. It may cause failure.

NOTE

Active air flap system could be activating regardless of the vehicle condition. (Parking, driving, charging, etc.)
