Maintenance
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
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 aluminum
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.
NOTICE
When replacing a fuse, Turn igni -
tion to the OFF position and turn
off switches of all electrical
devices; then remove the battery
(-) terminal.
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,
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
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.
