The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls that door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition key is removed or turned
to the ACC or LOCK position.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the power windows cannot
be operated even within the 30 sec-
onds after the ignition key removal.
While driving, if you notice buffeting
and pulsation (wind shock) with
either side window open, you should
open the opposite window slightly to
reduce the condition.✽
NOTICE
• To prevent the power window sys-
tem from the possibility of dam-
age, do not open or close two win-
dows at the same time. This will
also ensure the longevity of the
fuse.
• Never try to operate the main
switch on the driver's door and the
individual door window switch in
opposing directions at the same
time. If this is done, the window
will stop and cannot be opened or
closed.CAUTION - Windows
•Always double check to make
sure all arms, hands, head and
other obstructions are safely
out of the way before closing a
window.
• Do not allow children to play
with the power windows.Keep
the driver’s door power win-
dow lock switch in the LOCK
position (depressed).Serious
injury can result from uninten-
tional window operation by
the child.
• Do not extend face or arms
outside through the window
opening while driving.

Digital clock
Whenever the battery terminals,
ROOM LP fuse, or Power Connect
are disconnected, you must reset the
time.
When the ignition switch is in the
ACC or ON position, the clock but-
tons operates as follows:•HOUR:
Pressing the “H” button with your
finger, a pencil or similar object will
advance the time displayed by one
hour.
• MINUTE:
Pressing the “M” button with your
finger, a pencil or similar object will
advance the time displayed by one
minute.• RESET:
To clear away minutes, press the
“R” button with your finger, a pencil
or similar object. Then the clock will
be set precisely on the hour.
For example, if the “R” button is
pressed while the time is between
9:01 and 9:29, the display will be
reset to 9:00.
9:01 ~ 9:29 ➾9:00
9:30 ~ 9:59 ➾10:00
To change the 12 hour format to the
24 hour format, press the “R” button
for more than 4 seconds.
For example, if the “R” button is
pressed for more than 4 seconds
while the time is 10:15 p.m., the dis-
play will be changed to 22:15.

In case of an emergency
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 panel
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 the
fuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s side
fuse 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.

fuse panel.
5. 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 cigar lighter
fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse block in
the engine compartment. If a fuse is
blown, it must be replaced.
