Blade/cartridge type fuse replacement

1
Turn the vehicle and all other switches off.

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 engine 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 engine compartment fuse panel.

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 through the audible clicking sound.

If not, 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 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 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.
