WARNING
- Fuse replace-ment
 Never replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of the
same rating.
 A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly a
fire.
 Never install a wire instead of the proper fuse - even as a temporary
repair. It may cause extensive
wiring damage and possibly a
fire.
 Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the sys-
tem.
This vehicle has two fuse panels, one
located in the driver's side knee bolster,
the other in the engine compartment
near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has
blown, the element inside the fuse will be
melted.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using
the system involved and immediately
consult an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Fuse replacement
1. Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.
2. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided on the
main fuse box in the engine compart-
ment.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
Spare fuses are provided in the fusepanel.
4. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an Authorized Kia
Dealer.

In case of an emergency
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse ofthe same rating from a circuit you maynot need for operating the vehicle, suchas the radio or room lamp fuse.If the headlights or other electrical com-
ponents do not work and the fuses are
OK, check the fuse block in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced. To check the fuse or relay in the engine
compartment, remove the engine com-
partment shroud.
1. Turn the ignition switch and all other
switches off.
2. Remove the fuse box cover by remov- ing the bolt on the cover and unhook-
ing the tab on one end and tilting the
cover back toward the other end.
3. Check the fuses. If one is blown, replace it with a new one of the same
rating.
✽ ✽NOTICEAfter checking the fuse box in the engine
compartment, securely install the fuse
box cover. If not, electrical failures may
occur from water leaking in.
