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,
such as the cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlights or taillights, stop lights, courtesy lamp, day time running
lights (D.R.L) do not work and the fuses
are OK, check the fuse panel in the en‐ gine compartment. If a fuse is blown, it
must be replaced.
