Maintenance

FUSES

■ Blade type

A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-

tected from electrical overload dam-

age by fuses.

WARNING - Fuse replace-

ment

This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,

one located in the driver’s side panel

bolster, the other in the engine 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.

• 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.

■ Cartridge type

■ Multi fuse

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: blade

type for lower amperage rating, car-

tridge type, and multi fuse for higher

amperage ratings.

• Do not arbitrarily modify or

add-on electric wiring to the

vehicle.

■ BFT

CAUTION

Do not use a screwdriver or any

other metal object to remove

fuses because it may cause a

short circuit and damage the

system.

✽

NOTICE

(Continued)

CAUTION

• When replacing fuse, turn the

ignition “OFF” and turn off

switches of all electrical devices

then remove battery (-) terminal.

• The actual fuse/relay panel label

may differ from equipped items.

The electrical system and

wiring of the vehicle interior

may be damaged or burned

due to contact failure.

• If you directly connect the

wire on the taillight or replace

the bulb which is over the reg-

ulated capacity to install trail-

ers etc., the inner junction

block can get burned.

• When replacing a blown fuse

or relay, make sure the new

fuse or relay fits tightly into

the clips. Failure to tightly

install the fuse or relay may

cause damage to the wiring

and electric systems.

• Do not remove fuses, relays

and terminals fastened with

bolts or nuts.The fuses, relays

and terminals may not be fas-

tened correctly which may

cause vehicle damage.

WARNING - Electrical Fire

Always ensure replacements

fuses and relays are securely

fastened when installed. Failure

to do so can result in a vehicle

fire.

WARNING - Electrical

wiring repairs

All electrical repairs should be

performed by authorized Kia

dealerships using approved Kia

parts. Using other wiring com-

ponents, especially when retro-

fitting the audio system or theft

alarm system, or remote engine

control may cause vehicle dam-

age and increase the risk of a

vehicle fire.

CAUTION

• Do not input any other objects

except fuses or relays into

fuse/relay terminals such as a

driver or wiring. It may cause

contact failure and system

malfunction.

• Do not plug in screwdrivers or

aftermarket wiring into the ter-

minal originally designed for

fuse and relays only.

Maintenance

Inner panel fuse replacement

✽

NOTICE - Remodeling

Prohibited

Do not rewire your vehicle in any

way as doing so may affect the per-

formance of several safety features

in your vehicle. Rewiring your vehi-

cle may also void your warranty and

cause you to be responsible for any

subsequent vehicle damage which

may result.

✽

NOTICE - Window tinting

precaution

3. Pull the suspected fuse straight

out. Use the removal tool provided

on the engine compartment fuse

panel cover.

4. Check the removed fuse; replace it

if it is blown.

Spare fuses are provided in the

engine compartment fuse panel.

5. Push in a new fuse of the same

rating, and make sure it fits tightly

in the clips.

OQL075023

Window tint(especially metallic

film) might cause communication

disorder or poor radio reception,

and malfunction of the automatic

lighting system due to excessive

change of illumination inside the

vehicle. The solution used might also

flow into electric, electronic devices

causing disorder and failure.

1. Turn the ignition switch and all

other switches off.

2. Open the fuse panel cover.

If the switch is located in the “OFF”

position, a caution indicator will be

displayed in the cluster.

If it fits loosely, consult an authorized

Kia dealer.

7 63

Maintenance

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 power outlet

fuse.

Fuse switch

CAUTION - Fuse Panel

Covers

• Set all switches to ON before

driving.

If the head lamp, turn signal lamp,

stop signal lamp, fog lamp, DRL, tail

lamp, HMSL do not work and the

fuses are not blown, check the fuse

panel in the engine compartment. If a

fuse is blown, it must be replaced.

• If the vehicle is going to be

unused for over 1 month, set

all switches to OFF to prevent

the batteries from draining.

• The contact points of the

switches may wear out with

excessive use. Please refrain

from excessive use of the

switches (except for long-term

parking for over 1 month).

✽

NOTICE

OQL075025

If the headlamp, fog lamp, turn sig-

nal lamp, or tail lamp malfunction

even without any problem to the

lamps, have the vehicle checked by

an authorized Kia dealer for assis-

tance.

Always set the fuse switch to the ON

position before using the vehicle.

If you move the switch to the OFF

position, some items such as audio

and digital clock must be reset and

transmitter (or smart key) may not

work properly. When the switch is

Off, the caution indicator will be dis-

played on the instrument cluster.

Always place the fuse switch in the

ON position while driving the vehicle.

If the switch is located in the “OFF”

position, a caution indicator will be

displayed in the cluster.

3. Check the removed fuse; replace it Multi fuse

if it is blown. To remove or insert

Engine compartment fuse

replacement

the fuse, use the fuse puller in the

engine compartment fuse panel.

4. 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.

CAUTION

After checking the fuse panel in

the

engine

compartment,

OQL075027

securely install the fuse panel

cover through the audible click-

ing sound.

OQL075026

If the multi fuse is blown, it must be

removed as follows:

1. Turn the ignition switch and all

other switches off.

If not, electrical failures may

occur from water contact.

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Disconnect the negative battery

cable.

3. Remove the nuts shown in the pic-

ture above.

4. Replace the fuse with a new one

of the same rating.

2. Remove the fuse panel cover by

pressing the tab and pulling the

cover up. When the blade type

fuse is disconnected, remove it by

using the clip designed for chang-

ing fuses located in the engine

compartment fuse box. Upon

removal, securely insert reserve

fuse of the same rating.

5. Reverse these steps to reinstall

the multi fuse.

Maintenance

Main fuse

✽

NOTICE

Do not disassemble nor assemble the

multi fuse when it is secured with

nuts and bolts. Incorrect or partial

assembly torque may cause a fire.

Have the vehicle checked by an

authorized Kia dealer.

The electronic system may not func-

tion correctly even when the engine

compartment and internal fuse

box’s individual fuses are not dis-

connected. In such case the cause of

the problem may be disconnection

of the main fuse (BFT type), which is

located inside the positive battery

terminal (+) cap.

Since the main fuse is designed more

intricately than other parts, have the

vehicle checked by an authorized

Kia dealer.

OQL075028

If the main fuse is blown, it must be

removed as follows:

CAUTION

1. Turn off the engine.

Visually inspect the battery cap

to ensure it is securely closed.

If the battery cap is not securely

closed, moisture may enter the

system and damage the electri-

cal components.

2. Disconnect the negative battery

cable.

3. Remove the nuts shown in the pic-

ture above.

4. Replace the fuse with a new one

of the same rating.

5. Reverse these steps to reinstall

the main fuse.
