Common Problem

Horn Malfunction
A recurring issue with the 2019 Kia Picanto is the horn going off unexpectedly, particularly after a deep car wash. This problem seems to be related to water ingress in the driver's footwell, which can cause electrical issues leading to the horn sounding continuously. Some users have found that removing the horn fuse temporarily resolves the issue until the water dries out.
Shift to Park Warning and Beeping
Another reported problem involves a constant beep and a "Shift to P" warning, even when the car is not in motion. This issue has been frustrating for some owners, and solutions are not always straightforward. One suggestion was to check if the driver door is properly closed or to disconnect and reconnect the battery, which might reset the system.
Battery Issues
Some users have experienced battery-related problems, such as difficulty starting the car or flickering dash lights. These issues may persist even after replacing the battery. Possible causes include a faulty alternator or an electrical system draining the battery while the car is idle. Regular checks and ensuring the battery is fully charged can help mitigate these problems.
Parking Gear Concerns
There have been reports of Kia Picanto models lacking a traditional parking gear, which can be concerning for those unfamiliar with this setup. The recommended practice is to park the car in neutral and apply the parking brake, especially on inclines. Ensuring the wheels are turned towards the curb can provide additional safety.
