A vehicle’s electrical system is protec‐
ted from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the others in the engine com‐ partment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, accesso‐
ries, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will
melt.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, discon‐ nect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with one
of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi‐
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved and immediately
consult an authorized Kia dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car‐ tridge type, and multi fuse for higher
amperage ratings.
WARNING
