CAUTION
Because the sidewall of the low
aspect ratio tyre is shorter thanthe normal, the wheel and tyre of the low aspect ratio tyre iseasier to be damaged. So, followthe instructions below.
- When driving on a rough road or off road, drive cautiouslybecause tyres and wheels maybe damaged. And after driving,inspect tyres and wheels.
- When passing over a pothole, speed bump, manhole, or kerbstone, drive slowly so that thetyres and wheels are not dam-aged.
- If the tyre is impacted, we rec- ommend that you inspect thetyre condition or contact an authorised Kia dealer.
- To prevent damage to the tyre, inspect the tyre condition andpressure every 3,000km.
Low aspect ratio tyre (if equipped)
Low aspect ratio tyres, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided
for sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tyres
are optimized for handling and brak-
ing, it may be more uncomfortable to
ride in and there is more noise com-
pare with normal tyres.WARNING - Tyre temperature
The temperature grade for this
tyre is established for a tyre that
is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat
build-up and possible sudden
tyre failure. This can cause loss
of vehicle control and serious
injury or death.

CAUTION
 It is not easy to recognize thetyre damage with your owneyes. But if there is the slight-est hint of tyre damage, eventhough you cannot see the tyre damage with your owneyes, have the tyre checked orreplaced because the tyre damage may cause air leak-age from the tyre.
 If the tyre is damaged by driv- ing on a rough road, off road,pothole, manhole, or kerb stone, it will not be covered bythe warranty.
 You can find out the tyre infor- mation on the tyre sidewall.

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 3 (or 4) fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
others 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 bemelted.
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.
Before replacing a blown fuse, move to
safe place, turn off the engine and all
electric devices, and disconnect the neg-
ative battery cable.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using
the system involved and we recommend
that you consult an authorised Kia deal-
er.
Four kinds of fuses are used: blade typefor lower amperage rating, cartridge type, battery fuse terminal and multi fuse typefor higher amperage ratings.
✽✽ NOTICE
The actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items.
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 or aluminum foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring damage
and a possible fire.
 Do not arbitrarily modify or addon electric wiring of the vehi-
cle.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fusesbecause it may cause a short circuit and damage the system.

Maintenance
Inner panel fuse replacement
1. Turn the ignition switch and all otherswitches off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover. 3. Pull the suspected fuse straight out.
Use the removal tool provided in the
engine compartment fuse panel.
4. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips.
If it fits loosely, we recommend that you
consult an authorised 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, suchas the cigar lighter fuse.
If the headlights, fog lights, turn signallights, position lights or interior lights do not work and there is nothing wrong with
the bulbs, we recommend that you con- sult with an authorised Kia dealer.
OJD072016ROGDE071017R
CAUTION
 When replacing a blown fuse or relay with a new one, make sure
the new fuse or relay fits tightly into the clips. The incomplete fas-tening fuse or relay may cause the vehicle wiring and electric sys-
tems damage and a possible fire.
 Do not remove fuses, relays and terminals fastened with bolts ornuts. The fuses, relays and termi-
nals may be fastened incomplete-ly, and it may cause a possiblefire. If fuses, relays and terminalsfastened with bolts or nuts are
blown, we recommend that youconsult with an authorised Kiadealer.
 Do not input any other objects except fuses or relays intofuse/relay terminals such as adriver or wiring. It may cause con-tact failure and system malfunc-
tion.
 Do not plug in screwdrivers or aftermarket wiring into the termi-nal originally designed for fuse and relays only. The electrical
system and wiring of the vehicle interior may be damaged orburned due to contact failure.

 After checking the main fuse, install the cover securely when
you close the cover, check the locking sound.
If not, electrical failures mayoccur from water leaking in.
 Visually inspect the battery cap for secure closing. If the battery
cap is not securely latched, the electrical system may be dam-aged to due influx of moistureinto the system.
