Checklist when collecting your K5.
1. Check the accessories (Lighter, Ashtray Cup, iPod cable, tools in the trunk).
2. Service Book and Manual.
3. Check for dents and scratches (Interior and exterior).
4. Check the details in the grant and insurance.
5. Check the coolant, hydraulics and engine oil level.
6. Check the switches.
7. Check the tyre pressure. New K5 always over inflate. (Please make sure front 33psi back 32psi)
8. Check the fuel level.


Vehicle Break-In Process.
No special break-in period is needed. By folowing a few simple precaustion for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine
• While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to perperly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
• Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.
• Don't tow a traler during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation.

5 years Unlimited Mileage Warranty

Good idea. The two older thread has over 300 pages, i hope you guys can PM me the list/contact and I will update here. Thanks.

I had this problem before. Because I send for Sierra Glow before, so I went back to him, wash and recoat... back to normal. Not to worry bro.

Yes, is not smooth anymore. Anyway, washing the car is still as easy. like how u feel, I thought this Sierra Glow didn't really work. But last week I didn't wash my white color K5 for over a week, as u know, how bad it will look on a white color car. When I start spraying water, most of the dirt came off easily.

I did my Sierra Glow first day i got my car and is 1.5 months old now, meter has clock over 5000km, I drove to Kuantan and Melaka. I dunno is't me only, I don't really see any stone chip on my front bumper and side mirror. Because of Sierra Glow? Maybe my car is still new. How about yours?

For minor stone chips, maybe Mr Choong SG can help.

If I am not mistken, they will clean the existing wax. Anyway, call up Mr. Choong first to book an appoitment.

I have already received mine. from the instruction manual, it looks like we need to remove the bumper to install it. DAMM!!!

Now waiting for the full strip tail light. When receive all, I will send for installation. Or you want to do it for me?

I bought 1 set 4 pieces. I heard KIA Malaysia is selling each side (the outer one) for almost 1K. I intend to keep or sell the outer one just incase someone needs it.

I saw the guide from Optima forums. But I am not up to that level yet. You can ask me to replace bulb, not a problem, but to remove bumper...

Added on August 15, 2012, 4:23 pmI bought the full set including the outer light. But I only intend to change the inner one only and keep the outer one for backup since KIA MALAYSIA is selling each side (the outer one) for almost 1K

What warranty do they cover for tail lights?

You are right, have to re-wire. Because I have seen someone already did it (one of the owner here), thats why I dare to buy.

Yes, someone actually ordered from Jayong Mall just the inner part for about 350USD. That one have to speacial order, email to Jayong Mall.

Sheet!!! My wife saw the LED reflector. She said if I install this LED reflector, she won't sit in my K5 anymore... too AH BENG she said... how leh??? sell it off?

No problem... can't wait to receive my item.

Done my full strip 2 Way LED Tail Light.

Only replace the inner lights. When plug and play, only tail light lights up. I have to add on one more wiring to make it function for brake light. Fog light still function.

Both. normal night driving and brake. Exactly the same function as the outer lights.

Added on August 17, 2012, 9:56 amYes, this one she recommend. She said looks nicer. But LED reflector at bumper is NO NO, too ah beng. So, who wants to buy from me the LED reflector... brand new.

My mistake, the fog light is still functioning. So when switch on rear fog light, the inner light will be brighter than outer lights.

So the inner lights will on during normal night driving and also brake, just like the outer light function and still have fog light function.

I bought 590USD for 1 set 4 pieces (inner + outer lights). But I only swap the inner light, and keep the outer light for backup.

If u don't do extra wiring, it will only be normal night light. No brake light.
