Maintenance
(Continued)
After performing maintenancework, the battery cap and fuse
box cover are required to
close. The connector is alsorequired to connect if per-
formed. If not, it can malfunc-tion because the electric com-
ponents are exposed to mois-
ture.WARNING - Maintenance
work
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be danger-
ous. You can be seriously
injured while performing some
maintenance procedures. If
you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the propertools and equipment to do the
work, we recommend that the
system be servied by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Working under the hood with the engine running is danger-
ous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear jew-
elry or loose clothing. These
can become entangled in mov-
ing parts and result in injury.
Therefore, if you must run the
engine while working under the
hood, make certain that you
remove all jewelry (especially
rings, bracelets, watches, and
necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose
clothing before getting near theengine or cooling fans.
(Continued)
CAUTION
Do not put heavy objects orapply excessive force on topof the engine cover (ifequipped) or fuel related parts.
When you inspect the fuel system (fuel lines and fuelinjection devices), we recom- mend that you contact anauthorized Kia dealer.
Do not drive long time with the engine cover (if equipped)removed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When checking the engine room, do not go near fire.
Fuel, washer fluid, etc. are flammable oils that may causefire.
Before touching the battery, ignition cables and electricalwiring, you should disconnectthe battery "-" terminal. Youmay get an electric shock from the electric current.
When you remove the interior trim cover with a flat bed (-)driver, be careful not to dam-age the cover.
Be careful when you replace and clean bulbs to avoidburns or electrical shock.

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bol-
ster, another is in the engine com-
partment.
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.
Before replacing a blown fuse, dis-
connect the negative battery cable.
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 we
recommend that you consult an
authorized Kia dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, and fusible link for 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.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to removefuses because it may cause ashort circuit and damage the system.

If you do not have a spare, use a fuse
of the same rating from a circuit you
may not need for operating the vehi-
cle, such as the cigarette lighter fuse.

components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the engine compartment. If a fuse
is blown, it must be replaced.Fuse switch
Always, put the fuse switch at the ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF position, some items such as audio
and digital clock must be reset and
