1. Turn the ignition switch and all other
switches off.
2. Pull the suspected fuse straight out.
Use the removal tool provided on the
main fuse box in the engine
compartment. Refer to the fuse panel
chart on the fuse panel cover to
identify the likely problem fuse or
electrical circuit.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace if it
is blown.
Four (4) spare fuses are provided in the
engine compartment fuse panel cover.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.
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 radio or clock (Room) fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
are OK, check the fuse box in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced.
1. Turn the ignition switch and all other
switches OFF.
2. Remove the fuse box cover by
turning the plastic knob located in the
cover counterclockwise until the
cover can be removed.
3. Check the fuses. If one is blown,
replace it with a new one of the same
rating.

TOWINGIf emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an
Authorized Kia Dealer or a competent
tow-truck service. Proper lifting and
towing procedures are necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle. State and
local laws applicable to towing vehicles
must be followed.

TOWING WITH A VEHICLE
OTHER THAN A TOW TRUCK
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by an Authorized Kia
dealer or a commercial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook.
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer it
and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard-surfaced roads for a short
distance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition. Do not try to tow your vehicle when
the wheels are stuck in mud, sand or
similar substances that prevent the
vehicle from being driven out under
its own power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than
the vehicle doing the towing.
The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other
frequently.

Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.
To avoid damaging the hook, do not
pull from the side or at a vertical
angle. Always pull straight ahead. Use a towing strap less than 5 m (16
feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth
(about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing
strap is not loosened during towing.
6-17
✻
NOTICE
• Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
Using a portion of the vehicle
other than the tow hooks for
towing may damage the body of
your vehicle.
Use only a cable or chain
specifically intended for use in
towing vehicles. Securely fasten
the cable or chain to the towing
hook provided.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which would
place excessive stress on the
emergency towing hook and
towing cable or chain. The hook
and towing cable or chain may
break and cause serious injury
or damage.
If the towing vehicle can hardly
move, do not forcibly continue
the towing. Contact an
Authorized Kia dealer or a
commercial tow truck service
for assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight
ahead as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle
during towing.

10. Remove the lug nuts by turning them
counterclockwise, then remove the
wheel.
11. Mount the spare tire into position and
tighten the nuts by hand. Install the
lug nuts with the beveled edge
inward.
12. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise
and lower the vehicle until it touches
the ground.
Tighten the lug nuts firmly in an “X”
pattern.Once the lug nuts have been tightened,
lower the vehicle fully to the ground and
continue to tighten the lug nuts until they
are completely secured.
If you are unsure of the tightness of the
wheel lug nuts, have them checked at the
nearest service station. The specified
tightening torque is 76 ft. lb (103 N·m).

CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the wheel studs and nuts. During
wheel removal, make certain that
the same nuts removed are
reinstalled - or, if replaced, that
nuts with metric threads and the
same configuration are used.
Installation of a non-metric thread
nut on a metric stud or vice-versa
will not secure the wheel to the hub
properly and will damage the stud
so that it must be replaced. Note
that most U.S. lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use
extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt,
consult an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Damaged studs may result in wheel
loss and personal injury.

3. Remove the engine oil filter with an
oil filter wrench.
4. Use a clean rag to clean the oil filter
mounting surface on the engine.
5. Apply a small amount of engine oil
to the new oil filter O-ring seal.6. Install the oil filter and tighten it.
(Refer to the oil filter caution label
for tightening instructions.)
7. Replace the drain plug tightly after
the oil has thoroughly drained.
8. Refill the engine with new oil to the
F mark on the dipstick. Do not
overfill.
9. Re-install the oil filler cap securely.
10. Start the engine and inspect around
the oil filter seal for leaks.
Stop the engine.
Check the oil level and fill to the F
mark, if necessary.
OIL CAPACITY
2400cc Engine
- Without filter change : 4.0 liters
- With filter change : 4.3 liters
2700cc Engine
- Without filter change : 4.5 liters
- With filter change : 4.8 liters
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to “Recommended Lubricants” later in
this section)
CAUTION
Both the oil and engine are hot. Do
not burn yourself.✻
NOTICE
When installing the replacement oil
filter, do not allow the oil filter
gasket to remain on the oil filter
mounting surface. This will cause
oil leakage and engine damage.
Remove the old gasket completely
so that a new gasket will properly
seat and seal.
✻
NOTICE
• Follow these instructions
carefully. An improper oil filter
installation can cause oil leakage
and engine damage.
• Although oil filters may have the
same external appearance, their
internal designs differ
significantly. These filters are not
interchangeable. To avoid
potential engine damage, use only
the specified filter. Consult an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
