(see the example) ❈The actual battery label in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
1. CMF60L-BCI : The Kia model
name of battery
2. 12V : The nominal voltage
3. 60Ah (20HR) : The nominal capaci-
ty (in Ampere hours)
4. 92RC : The nominal reserve
capacity (in min.)
5. 550CCA : The cold-test current in amperes by SAE
6. 440A : The cold-test current in
amperes by EN Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in 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.(Continued)
Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the batterycells begin gassing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature
of the electrolyte of any cell
exceeds 49°C (120°F).
Wear eye protection when checking the battery during
charging.
Disconnect the battery charg- er in the following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery ter-minal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery ter-minal.

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 thefuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s sidefuse 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 we
recommend that you consult an
authorized Kia dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, and fusible link for higher
amperage ratings. ✽
✽
NOTICE
The actual fuse/relay panel label
may differ from equipped items.
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
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to removefuses because it may cause ashort circuit and damage the system.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specifiedwattage.
✽✽ NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or wash-
ing the vehicle, headlight and tail-
light lenses could appear frosty. This
condition is caused by the tempera-
ture difference between the lamp
inside and outside. This is similar to
the condensation 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, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switchis turned to the LOCK position
and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned- out bulb with one of the samewattage rating. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the fuseor electric wiring system.
CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary tools, the correct bulbs andthe expertise, we recommend that you consult an authorizedKia dealer. In many cases, it isdifficult to replace vehicle light bulbs because otherparts of the vehicle must beremoved before you can get to the bulb. This is especially trueif you have to remove the head-light assembly to get to the bulb(s). Removing/installingthe headlight assembly canresult in damage to the vehicle.
Do not install additional bulb or LED. If you install that, thelamp may not be operatedproperly and fuse box or elec-tric wiring system may have problem.
