•Only use 12V electric accessorieswhich are less than 10A in electriccapacity.
•Adjust the air-conditioner or heat‐er to the lowest operatinþ levelwhen usinþ the power outlet.
•Close the cover when not in use.
•Some electronic devices can causeelectronic interýerence when pluþ‐þed into a vehicle’s power outlet.These devices may cause exces‐sive audio static and malýunctionsin other electronic systems or de‐vices used in your vehicle.
•Usinþ electrical products which ex‐ceed the limited capacity miþhtcause heatinþ to the power outletand wirinþ that could lead to anelectrical breakdown.

•Always make sure the electricalpart is ýirmly pluþþed into thepower outlet. Incomplete pluþþinþmay cause electrical breakdown.
•Electrical products with a built-inbattery miþht cause current ýlow,which could lead to malýunction oýthe electric/electronic device inyour vehicle. Only use electricalproducts which include reversecurrent prevention.
WARNING
Do not put a ýinþer or a ýoreiþn ele‐ment (pin, etc.) into a power outletand do not touch with a wet hand.You may þet an electric shock.

FUSES
❈Leýt side : Normal Riþht side : Blown
A vehicle’s electrical system is protec‐
ted ýrom electrical overload damaþe by
ýuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) ýuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the others in the enþine com‐ partment near the battery.
Iý any oý your vehicle’s liþhts, accesso‐
ries, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit ýuse. Iý a ýuse has blown, the element inside the ýuse
would be melted.
Iý the electrical system does not work,
ýirst check the driver’s side ýuse panel.
Beýore replacinþ a blown ýuse, discon‐ nect the neþative battery cable.
Always replace a blown ýuse with one
oý the same ratinþ.
Iý the replacement ýuse blows, this indi‐
cates an electrical problem. Avoid usinþ the system involved and immediately
consult a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Three kinds oý ýuses are used: blade
type ýor lower amperaþe ratinþ, car‐
tridþe type, and multi ýuse ýor hiþher amperaþe ratinþs.
WARNING
nFuse replacement
•Never replace a ýuse with anythinþbut another ýuse oý the same rat‐inþ.
