✽ ✽
NOTICE
If you connect unauthorized elec-
tronic devices to the battery, the bat-
tery may be discharged. Never use
unauthorized devices.
Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.WARNING- Risk of elec-
trocution
Never touch the electrical motor
while the vehicle is running.
This system works with high
voltage which can "zap" you.
WARNING- Recharging battery
Never attempt to recharge the
battery when the battery cables
are connected.
WARNING- Battery lead compound
Battery posts, terminals, and
related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 3 (or 4) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the other in the motor com-
partment 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 melt.
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.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an authorized Kia
dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: micromini type for lower amperage rating,cartridge type, and multi fuse forhigher amperage ratings.
Replace the fuse with the ignition “OFF”, switch off of all electrical
devices and then separation (-) ter-
minal from the battery in a safe
place.
Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on electric wiring of the vehicle.
WARNING- Fuse
replacement
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 alu- minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
a possible fire.

Inner panel fuse replacement
1. Turn the ignition switch and allother switches off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover. 3. Pull the suspected fuse straight

panel cover.
4. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
Spare fuses are provided in themotor compartment fuse panel.
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 circuityou may not need for operating thevehicle, such as the power outletfuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the motor compartment. If a fuse is
blown, it must be replaced.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specifiedwattage.
If you don’t have necessary tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise,
consult 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.
Do not install additional bulb or LED. If you install additional bulbs
or LEDs, the lamps may not oper-
ate properly and there may be
problems in the fuse box or electric
wiring system.
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
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION- Light
replacement
Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb with one of the samewattage rating. Otherwise, itmay cause damage to the fuseor electric wiring system.
