Kia Sonet QY 2021 Owner's Manual page 399

Maintenance
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 a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating,
cartridge type, and multi fuse for
higher amperage ratings.
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 add-
on electric wiring to 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 a 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.
