Replacing components
• Do not remove fuses, relays and terminals fastened with bolts or nuts. The fuses, re
lays 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 profes
sional workshop. Kia recommends to consult an authorised Kia dealer/service part
ner.
• 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 de
signed for fuse and relays only. The electrical system and wiring of the vehicle inte
rior 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.
• 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 secure
ly latched, the electrical system may be damaged to due influx of moisture into the
system.
• If you don't have necessary tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise, consult a pro
fessional workshop. Kia recommends to consult an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
• In many cases, it is difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs because other parts of
the vehicle must be removed before you can get to the bulb. This is especially true
if you have to remove the headlight assembly to get to the bulb(s). Removing/in
stalling the headlight assembly can result in damage to the vehicle.
• Removing/installing the headlamp assembly can result in damage to the vehicle.
Use only Kia Genuine Parts or those of an equivalent standard part. If not, it may
lead to blowing a fuse or other wiring damages.
• Do not install extra lamps or LED to the vehicle. If supplementary lights are installed,
it may lead to lamp malfunction and flickering of the lights. In addition, the fuse box
and other wiring may be damaged.
NOTE
• The wiper could not operate for approximately 10 seconds when the wiper is oper
ated without washer fluid or the blades are frozen. This is not a malfunction, it is a
wiper protection system activated by motor overload circuit within the wiper motor.
• The front windscreen should be cleaned with water hose and wiped with clean towel
with wiper blades raised up. Also, the wiper blades should be wiped clean when the
grease or wax is applied to the blades.
