Fuses

This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver's side panel
bolster, 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 melt.

If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver's side
fuse panel.

If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem.
Avoid using the system involved and
immediately consult an authorized
Kia dealer.

Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating,
cartridge type, and multi fuse for
higher amperage ratings.

WARNING

Fuse replacement
䳜 Never replace a fuse with any-

thing but another fuse of the
same rating.

䳜 A higher capacity fuse could cause

damage and possibly a fire.

䳜 Never install a wire or aluminum

foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It
may cause extensive wiring dam-
age and a possible fire.

䳜 Do not arbitrarily modify or add-

on electric wiring to the vehicle.

NOTICE

䳜 When replacing a fuse, Turn

ENGINE START/STOP button to
the OFF position and turn off
switches of all electrical devices
then remove battery (-) terminal.

䳜 The actual fuse/relay panel label

may differ from equipped items.

WARNING

Electrical Fire
Always ensure replacements fuses
and relays are securely fastened
when installed. Failure to do so can
result in a vehicle fire.
Do not remove fuses, relays and
terminals fastened with bolts or
nuts. The fuses, relays and termi-
nals may be fastened incompletely,

Fuses

and it may cause a possible fire. If
fuses, relays and terminals fastened
with bolts or nuts are blown, we
recommend that you consult with
an authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION

When replacing a blown fuse or
relay, make sure the new fuse or
relay fits tightly into the clips. Fail-
ure to tightly install the fuse or
relay may cause damage to the wir-
ing and electric systems.

CAUTION

䳜 Do not input any other objects

except fuses or relays into fuse/
relay terminals such as a screw-
driver or wiring. It may cause con-
tact failure and system
malfunction.

䳜 Do not plug in screwdrivers or

aftermarket wiring into the ter-
minal originally designed for fuse
and relays only. The electrical
system and wiring of the vehicle
interior may be damaged or
burned due to contact failure.

䳜 If you directly connect the wire on

the taillight or replace the bulb
which is over the regulated capac-
ity to install trailers etc., the inner
junction block can get burned.

WARNING

Electrical wiring repairs
All electrical repairs should be per-
formed by authorized Kia dealer-
ships using approved Kia parts.
Using other wiring components,
especially when retrofitting multi-
media or theft alarm system, car
phone or radio may cause vehicle
damage and increase the risk of a
vehicle fire.

NOTICE

Remodeling Prohibited
Do not rewire your vehicle in any
way as doing so may affect the per-
formance of several safety features
in your vehicle. Rewiring your vehicle
may also void your warranty and
cause you to be responsible for any
subsequent vehicle damage which
may result.

Fuses

Replacing inner panel fuse
1. Turn the ENGINE START/STOP

button to the OFF positio and all
other switches off.

2. Open the fuse panel cover.

3. Pull the suspected fuse straight

out. Use the removal tool pro-
vided on the engine fuse panel
cover.

4. Check the removed fuse; replace it

if it is blown.
Spare fuses are provided in the
engine 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 autho-
rized Kia dealer.

If you do not have a spare, use a
fuse of the same rating from a cir-
cuit you may not need for operating
the vehicle, such as the power outlet
fuse.

If the head lamp, turn signal lamp,
stop signal lamp, fog lamp, DRL, tail
lamp, High Mounted Stop Lamp
(HMSL) 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.

NOTICE

If the headlamp, fog lamp, turn sig-
nal lamp, or tail lamp malfunction
even without any problem to the
lamps, have the vehicle checked by
an authorized Kia dealer for assis-
tance.

Light bulbs

Light bulbs

Light bulbs are installed in various
parts of the vehicle to provide light-
ing inside and outside the vehicle as
well as to alert other vehicles.

Bulb replacement precaution

Please keep extra bulbs on hand
with appropriate wattage ratings in
case of emergencies.

Refer to "Bulb wattage" on page 8-
4.

When changing lamps, first turn off
the vehicle at a safe place, firmly
apply the parking brake and detach
the battery's negative (-) terminal.

WARNING

Working on the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure that
the vehicle start/stop button is in
OFF position and turn off the lights
to avoid sudden movement of the
vehicle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.

Use only bulbs of the specified
wattage.

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 wir-
ing system.
Fully install light bulbs and any parts
used to secure them. Failure to do
so may result in heat damage, fire,
or water entering the headlight unit.
This may damage the headlights or
cause condensation to build up on
the lens. To prevent damage or fire,
make sure bulbs are fully seated
and locked.

CAUTION

Headlamp Lens
To prevent damage, do not clean the
headlamp lens with chemical sol-
vents or strong detergents.

NOTICE

䳜 If the light bulb or lamp connector

is removed while the lamp is still
on, the fuse box's electronic sys-
tem may log it as a malfunction.
Therefore, a lamp malfunction
incident may be recorded as a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in
the fuse box.

䳜 It is normal for an operating lamp

to flicker momentarily. This is due

61

Maintenance

Light bulbs

to a stabilization function of the
vehicle's electronic control device.
If the lamp lights up normally
after momentarily blinking, then
it is functioning as normal.
However, if the lamp continues to
flicker several times or turns off
completely, there may be an error
in the vehicle's electronic control
device. Please have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia
dealer immediately.

NOTICE

We recommend that the headlight
aiming be adjusted by an authorized
Kia dealer after an accident or after
the headlight assembly is rein-
stalled.

NOTICE

After driving in heavy rain or wash-
ing, headlamp and taillamp lenses
could appear frosty. This condition
is caused by the temperature dif-
ference 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 you have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

If you don't have the 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
headlamp assembly to get to the
bulb(s).

Removing/installing the headlamp
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle. If non-genuine parts or
substandard bulbs are used, it may
lead to blowing a fuse or other wir-
ing damages.

Do not install extra lamps or LEDs to
the vehicle. If additional lights are
installed, it may lead to lamp mal-
functions and flickering. Addition-
ally, the fuse box and other writing
may be damaged.
