Engine compartment fuse replacement

1
Turn the ignition and all other switches off.
2
Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling the cover up.
3
Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. To remove or insert 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, securely install the fuse panel cover.

Electrical failures may occur from water contact.

NOTICE

If the multi fuse is blown, consult an authorized Kia dealer.

NOTICE

The electronic system may not function correctly even when the engine compartment and internal fuse box's individual fuses are connected. The cause of the problem may be disconnection of the main fuse (BFT type), which is located inside the positive battery terminal (+) cap (for plug-in hybrid vehicle). Since the main fuse is designed more intricately than other parts, visit the nearest authorized Kia dealer.

Main fuse (Multi fuse)

If the main fuse is blown, it must be removed as follows:

1
Turn off the engine.
2
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3
Remove the nuts shown in the picture above.
4
Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
5
Reinstall in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION

Visually inspect the battery cap for secure closing. If the battery cap is not securely latched, the electrical system may be damaged due to influx of moisture into the system.
