KEYSThe key number is stamped into the plate
attached to the key set. If you should lose
your keys, this number will enable an
Authorized Kia Dealer to duplicate the
keys easily. Remove the plate and store it
in a safe place. Also, record the number
and keep it in a safe and handy place, but
not in the vehicle.Your vehicle has two master keys and a
sub key. The master key will open all
locks on your vehicle.
The sub key will only function in the
ignition and the door locks.Leaving your sub key with a parking
attendant will ensure that your vehicle’s
trunk, trunk lid release, glove box
compartment and rear trunk access may
not be unlocked in your absence.

WARNING - Ignition Key
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous even if the key is not
in the ignition. Children copy
adults and they could place the
key in the ignition. The ignition
key would enable children to
operate power windows or
other controls, or even make
the vehicle move which could
result in serious bodily injury or
even death. Never leave the
keys in your vehicle with
unsupervised children.
CAUTION
Use only Kia original parts for the
ignition key in your vehicle. If an
aftermarket key is used, the
ignition switch may not return to
ON after START. If this happens,
the starter will continue to operate
causing damage to the starter
motor and possible fire due to
excessive current in the wiring.

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.

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

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.
