Driving your vehicle
Lane change signals To signal a lane change, move the turn
signal lever slightly and hold it in position.
The lever will return to the OFF position
when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one of the
turn signal bulbs may be burned out and
will require replacement.✽ ✽NOTICEIf an indicator flash is abnormally quick
or slow, bulb may be burned out or have
a poor electrical connection in the cir-
cuit.
Automatic headlight aiming
(if equipped)To provide better driver visibility and
reduce eye fatigue, the headlight aiming
(direction) is automatically controlled
depending on vehicle load and vehicle
angle (when vehicle is loaded with pas-
sengers, cargo or used for towing, the
additional load can alter the headlight
aiming point on the road surface). This
system provides constant automatic
headlight aiming under various vehicle
conditions and angles to ensure the
headlights are always pointed in the right
direction.
Front fog light (if equipped) Fog lights are used to provide improved
visibility and avoid accidents when visibil-
ity is poor due to fog, rain or snow etc.
The fog lights will turn on when fog light
switch (
➀) is turned to ON (
➁) after the
headlight switch is turned on.
To turn off the fog lights, turn the switch
to OFF.
✽ ✽ NOTICEWhen in operation, the fog lights con-
sume large amounts of vehicle electrical
power. Only use the fog lights when vis-
ibility is poor or unnecessary battery
and generator drain could occur.
CAUTION
If the automatic headlight aiming
system does not operate when thevehicle is loaded with passengersand the front portion of the vehicleis at an elevated angle, or it is not adjusting correctly, have the vehiclechecked and repaired by an author- ized Kia dealer. Do not attempt toadjust the headlights manually, damage to the automatic headlightaiming system could occur.

In case of an emergency
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 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 damage the sys-
tem.
This vehicle has two fuse panels, one
located in the driver's side knee bolster,
the other in the engine compartment
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 indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using
the system involved and immediately
consult an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Fuse replacement
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 compart-
ment.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
Spare fuses are provided in the fusepanel.
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.
