Snow tires

If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28
kPa) more air pressure than the
pressure recommended for the stan-
dard tires on the tire label on the dri-
ver's side of the center pillar, or up to
the maximum pressure shown on the
tire sidewall, whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.

• When driving on roads covered

with snow or ice, drive at less than
20 mph (30 km/h).

• Do not use tire chains on vehicles

equipped with aluminum wheels.

• If snow chains must be used, use

the Auto Sock

®

(fabric snow chain).

• If you hear noise caused by chains

contacting the body, retighten the
chain to avoid contact with the
vehicle body.

• To prevent body damage, retighten

the chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).

* Auto Sock

®

is a trade mark of Auto

sock.

Tire chains

Tire chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the drive wheels (rear
wheels).
Be sure that the chains are installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do
not continue to use tire chains when
they are no longer needed.

Radial-ply tires

Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance and
smoother high speed ride. The radi-
al-ply tires used on this vehicle are of
belted construction, and are selected
to complement the ride and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
Radial-ply tires have the same load
carrying capacity, as bias-ply or bias
belted tires of the same size, and use
the same recommended inflation
pressure. Mixing of radial-ply tires
with bias-ply or bias belted tires is
not recommended.

Any combinations of radial-ply and
bias-ply or bias belted tires when
used on the same vehicle will seri-
ously deteriorate vehicle handling.
The best rule to follow is: Identical
radial-ply tires should always be
used as a set of four.
Longer wearing tires can be more
susceptible to irregular tread wear. It
is very important to follow the tire
rotation interval shown in this section
to achieve the tread life potential of
these tires. Cuts and punctures in
radial-ply tires are repairable only in
the tread area, because of sidewall
flexing. Consult your tire dealer for
radial-ply tire repairs.

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 K900
Kia dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, and fusible link for higher
amperage 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.

Drive side panel

• When replacing a blown fuse

or relay, make sure the new
fuse or relay fits tightly into
the clips. Failure to tightly
install the fuse or relay may
cause damage to the wiring
and electric systems.

• Do not remove fuses, relays

and terminals fastened with
bolts or nuts. The fuses,
relays and terminals may be
not be fastened correctly
which may cause vehicle
damage.

CAUTION

Do not input any other objects
except fuses or relays into
fuse/relay terminals such as a
driver or wiring. It may cause
contact failure and system mal-
function.

CAUTION

Electrical Fire

Always ensure replacements
fuses and relays are securely
fastened when installed. Failure
to do so can result in a vehicle
fire.

6.Pull the main service cover over

7mm (0.28 in) to toward the front of
the vehicle.

7.Lift the main service cover up and

then remove the main service
cover. Be careful not to damage
the holder under the main service
cover.

8.Open the fuse panel cover.

9.Pull the suspected fuse straight

out. Use the fuse puller provided in
the engine compartment fuse
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
K900 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.
