FUSES
A vehicle's electrical system is protect-
ed from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one
located in the driver's side panel bol-
ster, others in the engine compart-
ment 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.
Before replacing a blown fuse, move
to safe place, turn off the engine and
all electric devices, and disconnect the
negative battery cable.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and we rec-
ommend that you consult an author-
ized Kia dealer.
Four kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, battery fuse terminal and
multi fuse type for higher amperage
ratings.Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on
electric wiring to the vehicle.
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 or aluminum
foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It
may cause extensive wiring
damage and a possible fire.
CAUTION - Fuse replace-
ment
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the
system.

WARNING - Electrical Fire
• Always ensure replacements
fuses and relays are securely
fastened when installed.
Failure to do so can result in a
vehicle fire.
• We recommend that you do not
remove fuses, relays and termi-
nals that are fastened with
bolts or nuts. If they are not
completely re-installed, such
looseness may cause electrical
arcing and a possible fire. If
fuses, relays and terminals fas-
tened with bolts or nuts need
replacement, consult with an
authorized Kia dealer.

Maintenance
3. Pull the suspected fuse straight
out. Use the removal tool provided
in the engine compartment fuse
panel.
4. Check the removed fuse; replace it
if it is blown.
5. 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.
If you do not have a spare, use a
fuse of the same rating from a circuit
you may not need for operating the
vehicle, such as the cigarette lighter
fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the engine compartment. If a fuse
is blown, it must be replaced.Fuse switch
Your vehicle is equipped with a fuse
switch to prevent battery discharge if
your vehicle is parked without being
operated for prolonged periods.
Use the following procedures before
parking the vehicle for prolonged
periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail
lights.
3. Open the driver’s side panel cover
and move the fuse switch up to the
OFF position.
