How to find ambient lighting settings in a Kia EV4
The EV4 ambient-lighting controls sit inside the vehicle lighting menu. Check for the fitted system before searching for cabin effects that may differ between equipment specifications and software versions.
Checked against the MY2027 English owner manual for this model on 27 October 2026. Equipment and software can differ; use the instructions and controls fitted to your own vehicle.
With the vehicle in its ON state, open Settings > Vehicle > Lights > Ambient lighting. Use the choices actually shown by your equipped EV4.
Before you start
Park before navigating infotainment. This is an optional lighting feature, so its absence from a particular car is not evidence that a hidden activation code or a reset is needed.
Follow these steps
Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.
Check the result
The manual identifies ambient lights around the front instrument panel, front doors and upper/lower centre console. Check the fitted locations when judging the result; it does not promise that every interior surface is illuminated.
