6.Pull the main service cover over 7mm (0.28 in) to toward the front of
the vehicle.
7.Lift the main service cover up and then remove the main service
cover. Be careful not to damage
the holder under the main service
cover.
8.Open the fuse panel cover. 9.Pull the suspected fuse straight
out. Use the fuse puller provided in
the engine compartment fuse
panel.
10. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
11. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tight-
ly in the clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an authorized
K900 Kia dealer.If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuityou may not need for operating thevehicle, such as the cigarette lighterfuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
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.

2.Remove the fuse panel cover bypressing the tab and pulling up.
When the blade type fuse is dis-
connected, remove it by using the
clip designed for changing fuses
located in the engine room fuse
box. Upon removal, securely insert
reserve fuse of equal quantity.
3.Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. To remove or insert
the fuse, use the fuse puller in the
engine compartment fuse panel.
4.Push in a new fuse of the same rat- ing, and make sure it fits tightly in
the clips. If it fits loosely, consult an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.Main fuse
If the main fuse is blown, it must be
removed as follows:
1.Remove the fuse panel cover onthe right side in the engine com-
partment.
2.Remove the nuts shown in the pic- ture above.
3.Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
4.Reinstall in the reverse order of removal.
✽ NOTICE
If the main fuse is blown, consult an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.

Fuse Panel Cover
After checking the fuse panel in
the engine compartment,
securely install the fuse panel
cover. If not, electrical failures
may occur from water contact.
CAUTION
Visually inspect the battery cap
to ensure it is securely closed.
If the battery cap is not secure-
ly closed, moisture may enter
the system and damage the
electrical components.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specifiedwattage.
If you don’t have necessary tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise,
consult an authorized K900 Kia
dealer. In many cases, it is difficult
to replace vehicle light bulbs
because other parts of the vehicle
must be removed before you can
get to the bulb. This is especially
true if you have to remove the
headlight assembly to get to the
bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly 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 and
fuse box or electric wiring system
may have problem.✽ NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or wash-
ing, headlight and taillight lenses
could appear frosty. This condition
is caused by the temperature differ-
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con-
densation on your windows inside
your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with
your vehicle. If the water leaks into
the lamp bulb circuitry, have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
K900 Kia dealer.
Working on the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that Engine Start/Stop
button is in the LOCK position
and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
WARNING
Light Replacement
Be sure to replace the burned-
out bulb with one of the same
wattage rating. Otherwise, it
may cause damage to the fuse
or electric wiring system.

Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in
the canister are drawn into the
engine intake manifold through the
purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve(PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM); when the engine
coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evap-
orated fuel is not taken into the
engine. After the engine warms-up
during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to
the engine.
3. Exhaust emission control system
The Exhaust Emission Control
System is a highly effective system
which controls exhaust emissions
while maintaining good vehicle per-
formance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modi-
fied. Modification of your vehicle
could affect its performance, safety
or durability and may even violate
governmental safety and emis-
sions regulations.
In addition, damage or perform-
ance problems resulting from any
modification may not be covered
under warranty.
Use of unauthorized electric devices may cause: Abnormal
vehicle operation, Wire damage,
Battery discharge, Fire.
Be careful not to damage your
vehicle by use of unauthorized
electric devices.
Engine exhaust gas precautions
(carbon monoxide)
Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes.
Therefore, if you smell exhaust
fumes of any kind inside your vehi-
cle, have it inspected and repaired
immediately. If you ever suspect
exhaust fumes are coming into
your vehicle, drive it only with all
the windows fully open. Have your
vehicle checked and repaired
immediately.

Specifications, Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug, or
dipstick before checking or draining
any lubricant. This is especially
important in dusty or sandy areas
and when the vehicle is used on
unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug
and dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the engine and
other mechanisms that could be
damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-
ty engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those
recommended could result in engine
damage. When choosing an oil, consider the
range of temperature your vehicle
will be operated in before the next oil
change.
Proceed to select the recommended
oil viscosity from the chart.
