ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
PROTECTIONFuses
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has two fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side kick panel,
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.
Always replace a blown fuse with one
of the same rating.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an authorized Kia
dealer.
Two kinds of fuses are used: stan-
dard for lower amperage rating and
main for higher amperage ratings.Fuse Replacement
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse
panel.

WARNING- 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 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 dam-
age the system.
