ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
PROTECTION
FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has two fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side kick panel, the
other in the engine compartment near the
battery. A fuse panel chart is provided
later in this section.
If any of your vehicle’s lights,
accessories, or controls do not work,
check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a
fuse has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted. Always replace a
blown fuse with one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows out, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and
immediately consult an Authorized Kia
Dealer.
Two kinds of fuses are used: standard for
lower amperage rating, and main for
higher amperage ratings.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.

WARNING - Fuse
Replacement
• Never replace a fuse with
anything but another fuse of
the same type and rating.
• A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly
a fire.
• Never install a wire in place
of the proper fuse - even as a
temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring
damage and possibly a fire.
• Do not use a screwdriver or
any other metal object to
remove fuses because it may
cause a short circuit and
damage the system.
