Maintenance

FUSES

■ Blade type

A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-

tected from electrical overload dam-

age by fuses.

WARNING - Fuse replace-

ment

This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,

one located in the driver’s side panel

bolster, the other in the engine com-

partment near the battery.

• Never replace a fuse with any-

thing but another fuse of the

same rating.

■ Cartridge type

• A higher capacity fuse could

cause damage and possibly a

fire.

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.

• 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.

■ Multi fuse

If the electrical system does not

work, first check the driver’s side

fuse panel.

Always replace a blown fuse with

one of the same rating.

• Do not modify or add-on elec-

tric wiring to the vehicle.

If the replacement fuse blows, this

indicates an electrical problem. Avoid

using the system involved and imme-

diately consult an authorized Kia

dealer.

■ BFT

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.

Three kinds of fuses are used: blade

type for lower amperage rating, car-

tridge type, and multi fuse for higher

amperage ratings.

Maintenance

✽

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, make sure the new

fuse or relay fits tightly into

the clips. Failure to tightly

install the fuse or relay may

cause damage to the wiring

and electric systems.

• Do not input any other objects

except fuses or relays into

fuse/relay terminals such as a

driver or wiring. It may cause

contact failure and system

malfunction.

•

• Do not plug in screwdrivers or

aftermarket wiring into the ter-

minal originally designed for

fuse and relays only. The elec-

trical system and wiring of the

vehicle interior may be dam-

aged or burned due to contact

failure.

WARNING - Electrical Fire

• Do not remove fuses, relays

and terminals fastened with

bolts or nuts.The fuses, relays

and terminals may not be fas-

tened correctly which may

cause vehicle damage.

Always ensure replacements

fuses and relays are securely

fastened when installed. Failure

to do so can result in a vehicle

fire.

• If you directly connect the

wire on the taillight or replace

the bulb which is over the reg-

ulated capacity to install trail-

ers etc., the inner junction

block can get burned.

8 56

Maintenance

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 power outlet

fuse.

Inner panel fuse replacement

If the head lamp, turn signal lamp,

stop signal lamp, fog lamp, DRL, tail

lamp, HMSL do not work and the

fuses are OK, check the fuse panel

in the engine compartment. If a fuse

is blown, it must be replaced.

OYB076027

3. Pull the suspected fuse straight

out. Use the removal tool provided

on the engine compartment fuse

panel cover.

✽

NOTICE

OYB076026

If the headlamp, fog lamp, turn signal

lamp, or tail lamp malfunction even

without any problem to the lamps,

have the vehicle checked by an

authorized Kia dealer for assistance.

1. Turn the ignition switch and all

other switches off.

2. Open the fuse panel cover.

4. Check the removed fuse; replace it

if it is blown.

If the switch is located in the “OFF”

position, a caution indicator will be

displayed in the cluster.

Spare fuses are provided in the

engine compartment fuse panel.

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.

8 57

Maintenance

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.

Memory fuse

CAUTION - Fuse Panel

Covers

The contact points of the

switches may wear out with

excessive use. Please refrain

from excessive use of the

switches (except for long-term

parking for over 1 month).

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.

✽

NOTICE

Set all switches to ON before driv-

ing.

•

OYB076037

•

If the vehicle is going to be unused

for over 1 month, set all switches

to OFF to prevent the batteries

from draining.

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.

engine compartment fuse panel.

4. 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.

CAUTION

After checking the fuse panel in

the

engine

compartment,

OYB076029

securely install the fuse panel

cover through the audible click-

ing sound.

OYB076028

If the multi fuse is blown, it must be

removed as follows:

1. Turn the ignition switch and all

other switches off.

If not, electrical failures may

occur from water contact.

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Remove the fuse panel cover by

pressing the tab and pulling the

cover up. When the blade type

fuse is disconnected, remove it by

using the clip designed for chang-

ing fuses located in the engine

compartment fuse box. Upon

removal, securely insert reserve

fuse of the same rating.

2. Disconnect the negative battery

cable.

3. Remove the nuts shown in the pic-

ture above.

4. Replace the fuse with a new one

of the same rating.

5. Reverse these steps to reinstall

the multi fuse.

Maintenance

✽

NOTICE - Window tinting pre-

caution

CAUTION

CAUTION - Random

wiring prohibited when

retrofitting equipment

Do not disassemble nor assem-

ble the multi fuse when it is

secured with nuts and bolts.

Incorrect or partial assembly

torque may cause a fire. Have

the vehicle checked by an

authorized Kia dealer.

Window

tint(especially

metallic

film) might cause communication

disorder or poor radio reception,

and malfunction of the automatic

lighting system due to excessive

change of illumination inside the

vehicle. The solution used might also

flow into electric, electronic devices

causing disorder and failure.

Use of random wiring in the

vehicle might cause danger due

to failure and damage of the

vehicle’s performance.

Using random wires especially

when retrofitting AVN or theft

alarm system, remote engine

control, car phone or radio

might damage the vehicle or

cause fire.

CAUTION

Visually inspect the battery cap

to ensure it is securely closed.

If the battery cap is not securely

closed, moisture may enter the

system and damage the electri-

cal components.

CAUTION - Remodeling

Prohibited

Do not try remodeling the vehi-

cle in any way. It is illegal, and

may affect the vehicle's perform-

ance, durability, and safety. The

manufacturer's warranty does

not cover any problems caused

by remodeling. Remodeling the

vehicle can cause malfunction of

the vehicle, wiring damage, bat-

tery discharge, connector dam-

age, or fire.
