A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
the others in the engine compartment
near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, accesso
-
ries, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has
blown, the element inside the fuse would
be melted.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, discon
-
nect the negative battery cable.
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 a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to consult an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car
-
tridge type, and multi fuse for higher
amperage ratings.
WARNING
Fuse replacement
僅 Never replace a fuse with anything
but another fuse of the same rating.
僅 A higher capacity fuse could cause
damage and possibly a fire.
僅 Never install a wire or aluminum foil
instead of the proper fuse even as a
temporary repair. It may cause exten
-
sive wiring damage and a possible
fire.
僅 Do not arbitrarily modify or addon
electric wiring of the vehicle.
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.
