FUSES

A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 3 (or 4) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the other in the motor com-
partment 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 melt.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s side
fuse panel.
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
dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: micro
mini type for lower amperage rating,
cartridge type, and multi fuse for
higher amperage ratings.

• Replace the fuse with the ignition

“OFF”, switch off of all electrical
devices and then separation (-) ter-
minal from the battery in a safe
place.

• Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on

electric wiring of the vehicle.

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 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.

NOTICE

The actual fuse/relay panel label
may differ depending on equip-
ment/options.

CAUTION

- Fuse

Replacement

Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the
system.

CAUTION

- Fuse

Replacement

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.

WARNING

- Fuse fire

Do not remove fuses, relays and
terminals fastened with bolts or
nuts. The fuses, relays and ter-
minals may be fastened incom-
pletely, and it may cause a pos-
sible fire. If fuses, relays and
terminals fastened with bolts or
nuts are blown, we recommend
that you consult with an author-
ized Kia dealer.

WARNING

- Electrical Fire

• Always ensure replacements

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

• We recommend that you do not

remove fuses, relays and termi-
nals that are fastened with
bolts or nuts. If they are not
completely re-installed, such
looseness may cause electrical
arcing and a possible fire. If
fuses, relays and terminals fas-
tened with bolts or nuts need
replacement, consult with an
authorized Kia dealer.

Maintenance

Inner panel fuse replacement

1. Turn the ignition switch and all

other switches off.

2. Open the fuse panel cover.

3. Pull the suspected fuse straight

out. Use the fuse puller provided
on the motor compartment fuse
panel cover.

4. Check the removed fuse; replace it

if it is blown.

Spare fuses are provided in the
motor compartment fuse panel.

5. Push in a new fuse of the same

rating, 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
vehicle, such as the power outlet
fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the motor compartment. If a fuse is
blown, it must be replaced.

LIGHT BULBS

Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.

• If you don’t have necessary tools,

the correct bulbs and the expertise,
consult an authorized Kia 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.

WARNING

-

Lights

Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switch
is 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

- 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.

WARNING

- Halogen

bulbs

Handle halogen bulbs with care.
• Halogen bulbs contain pres-

surized gas that will produce
flying pieces of glass if bro-
ken.

7 65

Maintenance

• Always handle them carefully, and

avoid scratches and abrasions. 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 immediately
and carefully dispose of it.

• Wear eye protection when chang-

ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool
down before handling it.

1. Turn off the vehicle and open the

hood.

2. Disconnect the power connector

from the back of the headlight
assembly.

3. Disconnect the negative battery

cable.

4. Loosen the retaining bolts.

Follow the steps 1 to 6 from the pre-
vious page.
7. Remove the headlight bulb cover

by turning it counterclockwise.

8. Disconnect the headlight bulb

socket-connector.

9. Unsnap the headlight bulb retain-

ing wire by depressing the end
and pushing it upward.

10. Remove the bulb from the head-

light assembly.

11. Install a new headlight bulb and

snap the headlight bulb retaining
wire into position by aligning the
wire with the groove on the bulb.

12. Connect the headlight bulb sock-

et connector.

13. Install the headlight bulb cover by

turning it clockwise.

14. Connect the power connector to

the back of the headlight assem-
bly.

15. Reinstall the headlight assembly

to the body of the vehicle.
