❈Left side : Normal Right side : Blown
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 a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car‐
tridge type, and multi fuse for higher amperage ratings.
WARNING
nFuse replacement
•Never replace a fuse with anythingbut another fuse of the same rat‐ing.
•A higher capacity fuse could causedamage and possibly a fire.
•Never install a wire or aluminumfoil instead of the proper fuseeven as a temporary repair. It maycause extensive wiring damageand a possible fire.
•Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on electric wiring of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any oth‐er metal object to remove fuses be‐cause it may cause a short circuitand damage the system.

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, stoplights,
courtesy lamp, day time running lights (D.R.L) 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.
Memory fuse
