Replacing motor room fuse

Replacing blade/cartridge type fuses

Operation

  1. Turn the vehicle and all other switches off.

  2. Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling the cover up.

    When the blade type fuse is disconnected, remove it by using the clip (1) designed for changing fuses located in the motor room fuse box. Upon removal, securely insert reserve fuse of equal quantity.

  3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. To remove or insert the fuse, use the fuse puller in the motor 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 a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you consult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

CAUTION

  • After checking the fuse panel in the motor compartment, securely install the fuse panel cover through the audible clicking sound. If not, electrical failures may occur from water contact.

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

NOTICE

  • The electronic system may not function correctly even when the motor room and internal fuse box's individual fuses are not disconnected. In such case the cause of the problem may be disconnection of the main fuse (BFT type), which is located inside the positive battery terminal (+) cap. Since the main fuse is designed more intricately than other parts, visit a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit the nearest authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

  • If the multi fuse is blown, consult a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you consult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
