Replacing an Inside Panel Fuse

1. Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.

2. Open the fuse panel cover.

3. Remove the suspected fuse. Use the removal tool provided on the engine compartment fuse panel cover.

4. Inspect the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.

Spare fuses are located in the engine compartment fuse panel.

5. Insert a new fuse of the same rating and make sure it is fully seated in the clips.

If it does not seat securely, contact an authorized Kia dealer.

If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuit that you may not need to operate the vehicle, such as the power outlet fuse.

If the headlights or other electrical components do not work and the fuses are good, check the fuse panel in the engine compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced.

Fuse Switch

Always keep the fuse switch in the ON position.

If you move the switch to the OFF position, some items such as the audio and digital clock must be reset, and the transmitter (or smart key) may not operate properly.

CAUTION

Always set the fuse switch to the ON position while driving the vehicle.
