Maintenance

FUSES

A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 3 (or 4) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, others in the engine com-
partment 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 be melted.
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.
Before replacing a blown fuse, dis-
connect the negative battery cable.
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 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 alu-

minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary 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.
