Introduction to the main indicator symbols on the car dashboard: 1. Door Status Indicator: Shows whether the doors are fully closed. The corresponding light turns on when a door is open or not properly closed, alerting the driver that the door is not securely shut. The light turns off once the door is closed. 2. Parking Brake Indicator: This light turns on when the parking brake lever is pulled up. It automatically turns off when the handbrake is released. In some car models, this light may also indicate insufficient brake fluid. 3. Battery Indicator: Displays the working status of the battery. It lights up when the ignition is turned on and turns off after the engine starts. If it does not light up or remains lit continuously, the generator and circuit should be checked immediately. 4. Fuel Indicator: Alerts the driver when fuel is running low. When this light turns on, it indicates that the fuel is nearly depleted. Typically, the vehicle can still travel about 50 kilometers after the light comes on before running out of fuel. 5. Washer Fluid Indicator: Shows the level of windshield washer fluid. If the fluid is nearly empty, this light turns on, reminding the driver to refill the washer fluid. The light turns off after adding the cleaning solution.

What to Do When the Kia Trunk Won't Open?

If the car is in the unlocked state, both the doors and the trunk will be locked. In this case, simply unlocking the vehicle will allow the trunk to open normally. If the car has been involved in a collision causing the trunk latch to deform, the trunk may also fail to open. In such a situation, the trunk latch needs to be repaired or replaced. If the trunk latch is stuck, the trunk may be difficult to open due to friction. In this scenario, applying lubricant to the latch position for lubrication should resolve the issue.
