Precautions

WARNING

  • Never replace a fuse with anything but another fuse of the same rating.

  • A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly a fire.

  • Never install a wire or aluminum foil instead of the proper fuse even as a temporary repair. It may cause extensive wiring damage and a possible fire.

  • Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on electric wiring of the vehicle.

CAUTION

  • When replacing a blown fuse or relay with a new one, make sure the new fuse or relay fits tightly into the clips. The incomplete fastening fuse or relay may cause the vehicle wiring and electric systems damage and a possible fire.

  • Do not remove fuses, relays and terminals fastened with bolts or nuts. The fuses, relays and terminals may be fastened incompletely, and it may cause a possible fire. If fuses, relays and terminals fastened with bolts or nuts are blown, consult a professional workshop. Kia recommends to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

  • Do not input any other objects except fuses or relays into fuse/relay terminals such as a driver or wiring. It may cause contact failure and system malfunction.

  • Do not plug in screwdrivers or aftermarket wiring into the terminal originally designed for fuse and relays only. The electrical system and wiring of the vehicle interior may be damaged or burned due to contact failure.

  • If you directly connect the wire on the taillight or replace the bulb which is over the regulated capacity to install trailers etc., the inner junction block can get burned.

  • Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to remove fuses because it may cause a short circuit and damage the system.

NOTE

  • When replacing fuse, press the EV button to the OFF position and turn off switches of all electrical devices then remove battery (-) terminal.

  • The actual fuse/relay panel label may differ from equipped items.
