Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged in a
short time (because, for example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while the vehicle was not in use),
recharge it by slow charging (trickle)
for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A for two hours.
(Continued)
The battery contains lead.
Do not dispose of it after
use. Please return the bat-
tery to an authorized Kia
dealer to be recycled.
When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive pressure on the
case may cause battery acid to
leak, resulting in personal injury.
Lift with a battery carrier or with
your hands on opposite corners.
Never attempt to recharge the battery when the battery cablesare connected.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never
touch these components with theengine running or the ignition
switched on.

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 authorized Kia dealer.
Four kinds of fuses are used: blade typefor lower amperage rating, cartridge type,battery fuse terminal and multi fuse type
for higher amperage ratings.✽✽ NOTICE
The actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items.
WARNING - Fuse
replacement
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 add- on electric wiring of the vehicle.
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 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, 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 authorized Kia dealer.
OJD072016OGD071017
CAUTION
When replacing a blown fuse or
relay with a new one, make surethe new fuse or relay fits tightly into the clips. The incomplete fas-
tening fuse or relay may cause thevehicle wiring and electric sys-tems damage and a possible fire.
Do not remove fuses, relays and terminals fastened with bolts or
nuts. The fuses, relays and termi-nals may be fastened incomplete-ly, and it may cause a possible fire.If fuses, relays and terminals fas-
tened with bolts or nuts are blown, we recommend that you consultwith an authorized Kia dealer.
Do not input any other objects except fuses or relays into
fuse/relay terminals such as a driv-er or wiring. It may cause contactfailure and system malfunction.
Do not plug in screwdrivers or aftermarket wiring into the terminaloriginally designed for fuse and relays only. The electrical systemand wiring of the vehicle interior
may be damaged or burned due to contact failure.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specifiedwattage.
✽✽ NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or washing
the vehicle, headlight and taillight lenses
could appear foggy. This condition is
caused by the temperature difference
between the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicle during
rain and does not indicate a problem
with your vehicle. If the water leaks into
the lamp bulb circuitry, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure
that the ignition switch is turned to
the “LOCK” position (smart key:turn off the engine) and turn off the
lights to avoid sudden movement
of the vehicle and burning your fin-
gers or getting an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb with one of the same wattagerating. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the fuse or electric
wiring system.
CAUTION
If you do not have necessary tools, the correct bulbs and theexpertise, we recommend thatyou consult an authorized Kia
dealer. In many cases, it is diffi-cult to replace vehicle light bulbsbecause other parts of the vehiclemust be removed before you can
get to the bulb. This is especially true if you have to remove theheadlight assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlightassembly can result in damage to the vehicle.
Do not install additional bulb or LED. If you install that, the lamp
may not be operated properly andfuse box or electric wiring systemmay have problem.

APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical clean-
er or polish. Read all warning and cautionstatements that appear on the label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughlyand frequently at least once a month with
lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road driv-
ing, 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. Ensure
drain holes in the lower edges of the
doors and rocker panels are kept clean.
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 sur-
faces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish. High-pressure washing
When using the High Pressure car wash
system for cleaning the exterior of your
vehicle, be aware that without following
the proper precautions, it may damage
your car.
Never let the high pressure car wash
nozzle come too close to the windows,
soft materials, light system (headlights,
taillights and such), camera, sensors,
bumpers, rubber (including tires), and
also the underside of the vehicle.
The high pressure could damage these parts especially if injected from a
short distance.
Never clean a specific point on the
vehicle for a prolonged time. Applying
the high pressure car wash nozzle fora prolonged time it could damage and
harm the vehicle.
Even while the high pressure car wash nozzle is applied from a distance for a
limited time only, always bear in mind
that a direct stream would greatly
affect the surface of the vehicle.
Always use high pressure car washes which supply jet spray nozzle system,not direct stream nozzle system
WARNING - Wet brakes
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 for-
ward speed.
CAUTION
Do not use strong soap, chemical detergents or hot water, and donot wash the vehicle in directsunlight or when the body of the
vehicle is warm.
Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle.Especially, with high-pressurewater, water may leak through the
windows and wet the interior.
To prevent damage to the plastic parts and lamps, do not cleanwith chemical solvents or strongdetergents.
