Maintenance
Battery recharging by battery
charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.
Battery recharging by vehicle
After a jump start from a good bat-
tery, run the engine for 20-30 min-
utes at idle or driving the vehicle
before it is shutoff. Vehicle may not
restart if you shut it off before the
battery had chance to adequately
recharge.
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precautions:
The battery must be removed fromthe vehicle and placed in an area
with good ventilation.
Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or flame near the battery.
Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce the charging
rate if the battery cells begin
gassing (boiling) violently or if the
temperature of the electrolyte of
any cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
Wear eye protection when check- ing the battery during charging. Disconnect the battery charger in
the following order.
1.Turn off the battery charger main switch.
2.Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery terminal.
3.Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery terminal.
Before performing maintenance or recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.
The negative battery cable must be removed first and installed last
when the battery is disconnected.
Operation related to the battery should be done at an authorized
Kia Premium dealer.

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bol-
ster, another is in the engine com-
partment.
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.
Before replacing a blown fuse, dis-
connect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an authorized Kia
Premium dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: bladetype for lower amperage rating, car-tridge type, and fusible link for higheramperage ratings.
Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on
electric wiring of the vehicle.
Fuse replacement
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 alu- minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
a possible fire.
WARNING
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the
system.

panel.
10. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
11. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tight-
ly in the clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an authorized
Kia Premium dealer.If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuityou may not need for operating thevehicle, such as the cigarette lighterfuse.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specifiedwattage.
If you don’t have necessary tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise,
consult an authorized Kia Premium
dealer. In many cases, it is difficult
to replace vehicle light bulbs
because other parts of the vehicle
must be removed before you can
get to the bulb. This is especially
true if you have to remove the
headlight assembly to get to the
bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.
Do not install additional bulb or LED. If you install that, the lamp
may not be operated properly and
fuse box or electric wiring system
may have problem.✽ NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or wash-
ing, headlight and taillight lenses
could appear frosty. This condition
is caused by the temperature differ-
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con-
densation on your windows inside
your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with
your vehicle. If the water leaks into
the lamp bulb circuitry, have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
Kia Premium dealer.
Working on the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the LOCK
position and turn off the lights
to avoid sudden movement of
the vehicle and burning your
fingers or receiving an electric
shock.
WARNING
Light Replacement
Be sure to replace the burned-
out bulb with one of the same
wattage rating. Otherwise, it
may cause damage to the fuse
or electric wiring system.
