Maintenance
If it fits loosely, we recommend that
you 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 cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlights or taillights, stop
lights, courtesy lamp, day time running
lights (D.R.L) do not work and the fuses
are OK, check the fuse panel in the en‐
gine compartment. If a fuse is blown, it
must be replaced.
Fuse switch
OJF075024
Always, put the fuse switch at the ON
position.
9-54
If you move the switch to the OFF posi‐
tion, some items such as audio and dig‐
ital clock must be reset and transmitter
(or smart key) may not work properly.
If the fuse switch is in OFF, a warning
sign will illuminate on the dashboard.
CAUTION
• Put all switches in ON when driv‐
ing.
• If the vehicle remains idle for over
1 month, put all switches in OFF to
prevent the batteries from being
discharged.
• Excluding long-term parking for
over 1 month, the contact points
of switches may wear out upon
extensive use. Please refrain from
excessive use of switches.

the clip designed for changing fuses
located in the engine room fuse
box. Upon removal, securely insert
reserve fuse of equal quantity.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace it
if it is blown. To remove or insert
the fuse, use the fuse puller in the
engine compartment fuse panel.
