Inner panel fuse replacement

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

  2. Open the fuse panel cover.

If the switch is located in the “OFF” position, a caution indicator will be displayed in the cluster.

To identify the location of a specific fuse, please refer to the inside of the fuse panel cover and the description list in this section.

  1. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided on the motor compartment fuse panel cover.

  2. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.

    Spare fuses are provided in the motor compartment fuse panel.

  3. 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 to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuit you may not need for operating the vehicle, such as the power outlet fuse.

If the head lamp, turn signal lamp, stop signal lamp, fog lamp, DRL, tail lamp, HMSL do not work and the fuses are OK, check the fuse panel in the motor compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced.

NOTICE

If the headlamp, fog lamp, turn signal lamp, or tail lamp malfunction even without any problem to the lamps, have the vehicle checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Fuse switch

Always set the fuse switch to the ON position before using the vehicle.

If you move the switch to the OFF position, some items such as audio and digital clock must be reset and transmitter (or smart key) may not work properly. When the switch is Off, the caution indicator will be displayed on the instrument cluster.

CAUTION
  • Put all switches in ON when driving.

  • If the vehicle remains idle for over 1 month, put all switches in OFF to prevent the batteries from being discharged.

  • Excluding long-term parking for over 1 month, the contact points of switches may wear out upon extensive use. Please refrain from excessive use of switches.
