FUSES

G210000AAM

A vehicle’s electrical system is protected

from electrical overload damage by

fuses.

This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one locat-

ed 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.

Always replace a blown fuse with one of

the same rating.

If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-

cates 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 rat-

ings.

WARNING - Fuse replace-

ment

• 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

instead of the proper fuse - even

as a temporary repair. It may cause

extensive wiring damage and a

possible fire.

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.

Inner panel fuse replacement

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 on the

engine compartment fuse panel cover.

4. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it

is blown.

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.

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.

If the headlights or other electrical com-

ponents 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.

Your vehicle is equipped with a memory

fuse to prevent battery discharge if your

vehicle is parked without being operated

for prolonged periods. Use the following

procedures 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 out the memory fuse.

✽✽

NOTICE

• If the memory fuse is pulled out 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 out, the battery can still be dis-

charged by operation of the head-

lights or other electrical devices.
