✽NOTICE
• It is not easy to recognize the tire
damage with your own eyes. But if
there is the slightest hint of tire
damage, even though you cannot
see the tire damage with your own
eyes have the tire checked or
replaced because the tire damage
may cause air leakage from the
tire.
• If the tire is damaged by driving
on a rough road, off road, pothole,
manhole, or curb stone, it will not
be covered by the warranty.
• You can find out the tire informa-
tion on the tire sidewall.CAUTION
Because the sidewall of the low
aspect ratio tire is shorter than
the normal, the wheel and tire of
the low aspect ratio tire is easi-
er to be damaged. So, follow the
instructions below.
• When driving on a rough road
or off road, drive cautiously
because tires and wheels may
be damaged. And after driv-
ing, inspect tires and wheels.
• When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tires and wheels are not dam-
aged.
• If the tire is impacted, we rec-
ommend that you inspect the
tire condition or contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
• To prevent damage to the tire,
inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 3,000km.

FUSES
A vehicle's electrical system is protect-
ed from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one
located in the driver's side panel bol-
ster, others in the engine compart-
ment 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.
Before replacing a blown fuse, move
to safe place, turn off the engine and
all electric devices, and disconnect the
negative battery cable.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and we rec-
ommend that you consult an author-
ized Kia dealer.
Four kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, battery fuse terminal and
multi fuse type for higher amperage
ratings.Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on
electric wiring to the vehicle.
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 - Fuse replace-
ment
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the
system.

Maintenance
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, 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, such as the cigarette lighter
fuse.
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.Fuse switch
Your vehicle is equipped with a fuse
switch to prevent battery discharge if
your vehicle is parked without being
operated for prolonged periods.
Use the following procedures before
parking the vehicle for prolonged
periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail
lights.
3. Open the driver’s side panel cover
and move the fuse switch up to the
OFF position.

✽NOTICE
• If the fuse switch is in the OFF
position, the warning chime,
audio, clock and interior lamps,
etc., will not operate. Some items
must be reset after replacement.
Refer to “Battery” in this chapter.
• Even when the fuse switch is in the
OFF position, the battery can still
be discharged by operation of the
headlights or other electrical
devices.
Engine compartment fuse
replacement
1.Turn the ignition switch and all
other switches off.
2.Remove the fuse panel cover by
pressing the tab and pulling the
cover 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
rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips. If it fits loosely, consult
an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION - Fuse panel
covers
After checking the fuse panel in
the engine compartment,
securely install the fuse panel
cover. If not, electrical failures
may occur from water contact.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
If you don’t have necessary tools, the
correct bulbs and the expertise, con-
sult an authorized 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.Front lights replacement
(1) Headlight (High)
(2) Headlight (Low)
(3) Front turn signal light
(4) Front fog light
(5) Front position light
(6) Side marker
WARNING - Lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switch
is turned to the “LOCK” position
and turn off the lights to avoid
burning your fingers or receiv-
ing an electric shock.
CAUTION - 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.
