Fuse replacement

✽

NOTICE

Do not use a screwdriver or any

other metal object to remove fuses

because it may cause a short circuit

and damage the system.

Driver’s side panel

1. Turn the ignition switch and all

other switches off.

2. Open the left side trim of the dri-

ver’s instrument panel. Do not

remove the trim from the panel

completely.

3. Pull the suspected fuse straight

out. Use the removal tool provided

in the fuse panel.

4. Check the removed fuse; replace it

if it is blown.

Spare fuses are provided in the

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 circuit

you may not need for operating the

vehicle, such as the cigar lighter

fuse.

If the headlights or other electrical

components do not work and the

fuses are OK, check the fuse block in

the engine compartment. If a fuse is

blown, it must be replaced.
