ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
PROTECTIONFUSESA 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 REPLACEMENTIf 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.

IMPORTANT-USE OF
COMPACT SPARE TIREYour vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare tire.
This compact spare tire takes up less
space than a regular-size tire. This tire is
smaller than a conventional tire and is
designed for temporary use only.
The compact spare should be inflated to
420kPa ( 60 psi).When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
 Under no circumstances should you
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher
speed could damage the tire.
 Ensure that you drive slowly enough
for the road conditions to avoid all
hazards. Any road hazard, such as a
pothole or debris, could seriously
damage the compact spare.
 Any continuous road use of this tire
could result in tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, and possible personal
injury.
 Do not exceed the vehicle’s
maximum load rating or the load-
carrying capacity shown on the
sidewall of the compact spare tire.
 Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 25
mm (1in.), which could result in
damage to the vehicle.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
6-20
CAUTION
 You should drive carefully when
the compact spare is in use. The
compact spare should be
replaced by the proper
conventional tire and rim at the
first opportunity.
 The operation of this vehicle is
not recommended with more
than one compact spare tire in
use at the same time.
CAUTION
This spare tire should be used only
for VERY short distances.
Compact spares should NEVER be
used for long drives or extended
distances.✻
NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust to
the specified pressure, as necessary.

TIRE SIZE DESIGNATIONA tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replacement
tires for your car. The following explains
what the letters and numbers in the tire
size designation mean.
Example tire size designation :
P205/60R15 82T
P- Applicable vehicle type (tires marked
with the prefix “P” are intended for use
on passenger cars; however, not all tires
have this marking).
205- Tire width in millimeters.
60- Aspect Ratio. The tire’s section
height as a percentage of tire width.
R- Tire construction code (radial).
15- Rim diameter in inches.
82- Load Index: A numerical code
associated with the maximum load the
tire can carry.
T- Speed Rating symbol. See the speed
rating chart in this section for additional
information.
✻
NOTICE
• When replacing tires, never mix
radial, bias-belted, and bias-type
tires. All four tires should be of
the same size, design and
construction. Use only the tire
sizes listed on the Tire Label
attached to the passenger’s door.
Make sure that all tires and
wheels are the same size and
have the same load-carrying
capacity. Use only tire and wheel
combinations recommended on
the Tire Label or by an
Authorized Kia Dealer. Failure
to follow these precautions can
adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
• The use of any other tire size or
type may seriously affect ride,
handling, ground clearance, tire
clearance, and speedometer
alibration.
• Driving on worn-out tires is very
hazardous and will reduce
braking effectiveness, steering
accuracy, and raction.
• It is best to replace all four tires
on your vehicle at the same time.
If that is not possible, then
replace the two front or two rear
tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect vehicle handling.
