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
compartment fuse relay box (if
equipped). Refer to the fuse panel
chart on the fuse panel cover to
identify the likely problem fuse or
electrical circuit.3. Check the removed fuse; replace it
if it is blown. The number of fuses
vary according to the vehicle
model. Check both the passenger
and engine compartment fuse box
covers.
4. Push in a new fuse of the same rat-
ing, 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 vehi-
cle, such as the radio or room lamp
fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components 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.
1. Turn the ignition switch and all
other switches off.
2. Remove the fuse block cover by
unhooking 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.IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY6-8

On 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to
tow the vehicle with the front wheels
on the ground (without dollies) and
the rear wheels off the ground.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the rear of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the front.When towing your vehicle in an emer-
gency without wheel dollies (2WD
Vehicles or Part-time 4WD Vehicles):
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
2. Place the transmission shift lever
in N (Neutral).
3. Place the transfer shift knob for
part-time 4WD operation in the 2HI
position.
4. Release the parking brake.

NOTICEFailure to place the transmission
shift lever in N (Neutral) and the
transfer shift knob for part-time
4WD operation to 2HI may cause
internal damage to the transmis-
sion.
CAUTION
Do not use the hook under the
rear of the vehicle for towing
purposes. The hook is designed
ONLY for transport tie-down. If
the tie-down hook is used for
towing, the tie-down hook will
be damaged and this could lead
to serious injury.Tie-down hook

Use a towing strap less than 5 m
(16 feet) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing
strap is not loosened during towing.When Your Vehicle is Being Towed
by Another Vehicle Other Than a
Tow Truck (In Case Of an
Emergency) (2WD Vehicles or
Part-time 4WD Vehicles)
Turn the ignition switch to ACC so
the steering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transmission shift lever in
N (Neutral).
Place the transfer shift knob for
part-time 4WD operation in the 2HI
position.

✽ ✽
NOTICERemove the rear drive shaft if it is
necessary to exceed 45km/h (28
mph) and/or 80km (50 miles). If the
drive shaft cannot be removed, stop
every 80km (50 miles) and start
the engine. Allow the engine to idle
for a few minutes. This will ensure
that the transmission is sufficiently
lubricated.

WARNING
- Battery
dangers
Always read the follow-
ing instructions carefully
when handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes
and all other flames or
sparks away from the
battery.
Hydrogen, which is a
highly combustible gas,
is always present in bat-
tery cells and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the
reach of children
because batteries con-
tain highly corrosive
SULFURIC ACID. Do not
allow battery acid to
contact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If any electrolyte gets
into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean
water for at least 15 min-
utes and get immediate
medical attention. If pos-
sible, continue to apply
water with a sponge or
cloth until medical atten-
tion is received.
If electrolyte gets on
your skin, thoroughly
wash the contacted area.
If you feel a pain or a
burning sensation, get
medical attention imme-
diately.
Wear eye protection
when charging or work-
ing near a battery.
Always provide ventila-
tion when working in an
enclosed space.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Never attempt to charge the
battery when the battery
cables are connected.
The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.

WARNING- Working on the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake
and ensure that the ignition
switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position to avoid sudden move-
ment of the vehicle and burning
your fingers or receiving an
electric shock.
WARNING- Halogen Bulbs
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surized gas that will produce
flying pieces of glass if bro-
ken.
Always handle them carefully,
and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never
touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause
the bulb to overheat and burst
when lit. A bulb should be
operated only when installed
in a headlight.
If a bulb becomes damaged or
cracked, replace it immediate-
ly and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when
changing a bulb. Allow the
bulb to cool before handling
it.
