Replacing an Engine Compartment Fuse

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

2. Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling the cover upward. When the blade-type fuse is disconnected, remove it using the fuse puller located in the engine compartment fuse panel. When removing, firmly insert a spare fuse of the same rating.

3. Inspect the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. To remove or insert a fuse, use the fuse puller in the fuse block in the engine compartment.

4. Insert a new fuse of the same rating and make sure it is firmly seated in the clips. If it does not seat securely, contact an authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION

Always install the engine compartment fuse panel cover securely to protect against power supply failures that may occur due to contact with water. Listen for an audible click to confirm that the fuse panel cover is securely fastened.

Multi Fuse

If the multi fuse is blown, remove it as follows:

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

3. Remove the nuts shown in the illustration above.

4. Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.

5. Perform these steps in reverse order to reinstall the multi-fuse.

✽ NOTICE

Do not disassemble or reassemble the multi-fuse if it is secured with nuts and bolts. Incorrect or incomplete torque during assembly may cause a fire. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

Main Fuse

If the main fuse is blown, remove it as follows:

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

3. Remove the nuts shown in the illustration above.

4. Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.

5. Perform these steps in reverse order to reinstall the main fuse.

✽ NOTICE

The electronic system may malfunction even if the engine compartment and individual fuses in the interior fuse panel are not blown. In this case, the cause of the problem may be disconnection of the main fuse.

Because the main fuse has a more complex structure than other parts, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
