Maintenance
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 aluminium
foil instead of the proper fuse
even as a temporary repair. It
may cause extensive wiring dam-
age and a possible fire.
Do not arbitrarily modify or addon
electric wiring of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.
NOTICE
When replacing fuse, turn the
ignition "OFF" and turn off
switches of all electrical devices
then remove battery (-) terminal.
The actual fuse/relay panel label
may differ from equipped items.
CAUTION
When replacing a blown fuse or
relay with a new one, make sure
the new fuse or relay fits tightly
8 62
into the clips. The incomplete fas-
tening fuse or relay may cause
the vehicle wiring and electric
systems damage and a possible
fire.
Do not remove fuses, relays and
terminals fastened with bolts or
nuts. The fuses, relays and termi-
nals may be fastened incom-
pletely, and it may cause a
possible fire. If fuses, relays and
terminals fastened with bolts or
nuts are blown, consult a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to consult an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
Do not input any other objects
except fuses or relays into fuse/
relay terminals such as a driver or
wiring. It may cause contact fail-
ure and system malfunction.
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.
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.
