ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Fuses
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has two fuse panels,
one located in the driver's side knee
bolster, the other in the engine com-
partment near the battery. If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse
has blown, the element inside thefuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s sidefuse panel.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an Authorized Kia
Dealer.
Two kinds of fuses are used: stan-
dard for lower amperage rating and main for higher amperage ratings.

WARNING - Fuse replace-
ment
 Never replace a fuse with any- thing but another fuse of the same rating.
 A higher capacity fuse could cause damage through over-
heating and possibly a fire.
 Never install a wire instead 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 dam-
age the system.

OWNER MAINTENANCE
Owner maintenance schedule
The following lists are vehicle checks and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or an AuthorizedKia Dealer at the frequencies indicat-
ed to help ensure safe, dependable
operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by war-
ranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.
When you stop for fuel:
 Check the engine oil level.
 Check coolant level in coolant reservoir.
 Check the windshield washer fluid level.  Look for low or under-inflated tires.
While operating your vehicle:
 Note any changes in the sound of
the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
 Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steer-
ing effort or looseness in the steer-
ing wheel, or change in its straight-ahead position.
 Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when traveling on smooth, levelroad.
 When stopping, listen and check for strange sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.
 If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.
 Check automatic transaxle P (Park) function.
 Check parking brake.
 Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air conditioning system after use is
normal).
At least monthly:
 Check coolant level in the coolantrecovery reservoir.
 Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flash-
ers.
 Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare.
At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall) :
 Check radiator, heater and air con- ditioning hoses for leaks or da-
mage.
 Check windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with clean cloth dampened
with washer fluid.
 Check headlight alignment.
 Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
 Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function.
 Check for worn tires and loose wheel lug nuts.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow out
under pressure. This could
cause serious injury.

FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL)
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays
an important role of separating water
from fuel and accumulating the waterin its bottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter,
the warning light comes on when the
ignition key is in the “ON” position.If this warning light illumi-
nates, take your car to the
authorized Kia dealer and
have the system checked. AIR CLEANER
Element cleaning
This element may be air cleaned or replaced, depending on its condition.
Unless it is very dirty, merely shake it
to remove foreign particles. Eachtime this filter is inspected, wipe theinside of the air cleaner housing and
cover with a damp cloth. If the vehi-
cle is operated in extremely dusty or
sandy areas, clean or replace thiselement more often than at the usual
recommended intervals.
Element replaecment
1. Loosen the air cleaner cover
attaching clips and open the cover.

CAUTION
If the water accumulated in thefuel filter is not drained at prop-er times, damages to the major parts such as the fuel systemcan be caused by water perme-ation in the fuel filter.

BATTERY
WARNING- Battery
dangers
Always read the follow-
ing instructions carefully
when handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or
sparks away from the
battery.
Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas,
is always present in bat-
tery cells and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries con-
tain highly corrosive
SULFURIC ACID. Do not
allow battery acid to con-
tact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.
(Continued)(Continued)If any electrolyte getsinto your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for
at least 15 minutes and
get immediate medical
attention. If possible,
continue to apply water
with a sponge or clothuntil medical attention isreceived.
If electrolyte gets on
your skin, thoroughlywash the contacted area.
If you feel a pain or a
burning sensation, getmedical attention imme-
diately.
Wear eye protection when charging or work-
ing near a battery.
Always provide ventila-
tion when working in an
enclosed space.
(Continued)(Continued)
 When lifting a plastic-casedbattery, excessive pressure on
the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
 Never attempt to charge the battery when the battery
cables are connected.
 The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.

EXTERIOR CARE
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warningand caution statements that appearon the label. Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash itthoroughly and frequently at least
once a month with lukewarm or cold
water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign
materials. Make sure the drain holes
in the lower edges of the doors and
rocker panels are kept clear andclean. Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar
deposits can damage your vehicle’s
finish if not removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain
water may not completely remove all
these deposits. A mild soap, safe for
use on painted surfaces, may beused.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the fin-ish.
✽✽
NOTICE
Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents or hot water, and do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight orwhen the body of the vehicle iswarm.
CAUTION
 Water washing in the engine compartment may cause thefailure of electrical circuitslocated in the engine compart- ment.
 Pay extreme attention to wash the engine compartment byusing water.
WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes while driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while
maintaining a slow forwardspeed.
