FUSES

A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-

tected from electrical overload dam-

age by fuses.

This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one

located in the driver’s side panel bol-

ster, the other in the engine compart-

ment 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.

Before replacing a blown fuse, move

to safe place, turn off the engine and

all electric devices, and then discon-

nect the negative battery cable.

Always replace a blown fuse with

one of the same rating.

If the replacement fuse blows, this

indicates an electrical problem. Avoid

using the system involved and imme-

diately consult an authorized Kia

dealer.

Three kinds of fuses are used: blade

type for lower amperage rating, car-

tridge type, and multi fuse for higher

amperage ratings.

NOTICE

The actual fuse/relay panel label

may differ from equipped items.

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 alu-

minum foil instead of the

proper fuse - even as a tem-

porary repair. It may cause

extensive wiring damage and

a possible fire.

Maintenance

Instrument panel fuse replace-

ment

1. Turn the ignition switch and all

other switches off.

2. Open the fuse panel cover.

3. Pull the suspected fuse straight

out. Use the removal tool provided

in the engine compartment fuse

panel.

4. Check the removed fuse; replace it

if it is blown.

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 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 cigar lighter

fuse.

If the headlights or other electrical

components do not work and the

fuses are OK, check the fuse block in

the engine compartment. If a fuse is

blown, it must be replaced.

WARNING - Electrical

Fire

• When replacing a blown fuse

or relay with a new one, make

sure the new fuse or relay fits

tightly into the clips The incom-

plete fastening 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 terminals may be fastened

incompletely, and it may cause

a possible fire. If fuses, relays

and terminals fastened with

bolts or nuts are blown, we rec-

ommend that you consult with

an authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION - Fuse

Replacement

except fuses or relays into

fuse/relay terminals such as a

driver or wiring. It may cause

contact failure and system mal-

function.

Memory fuse

Your vehicle is equipped with the

memory fuse to prevent battery dis-

charge if your vehicle is parked with-

out being operated for prolonged

periods. Use the following proce-

dures before parking the vehicle for

prolonged periods.

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Turn off the headlights and tail

lights.

3. Open the driver’s side panel cover

and pull up the memory fuse.

If the memory fuse is pulled up from

the fuse panel, the warning chime,

audio, clock and interior lamps, etc.,

will not operate. Some items must be

reset after replacement. Refer to

“Battery” in this section.

Even though the memory fuse is

pulled up, the battery can still be dis-

charged by operation of the head-

lights or other electrical devices.
