FUSES

A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-

tected from electrical overload dam-

age by fuses.

This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one

located in the driver’s side panel bol-

ster, the other in the engine compart-

ment 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: blade

type for lower amperage rating, car-

tridge type, and multi fuse for higher

amperage ratings.

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.

CAUTION - Fuse

replacement

Do not use a screwdriver or any

other metal object to remove

fuses because it may cause a

short circuit and damage the

system.
