Maintenance
• Commercial hot waxes applied by automatic car washes have been known to make
the windscreen difficult to clean. And it is the responsibility of customers to wash
and manage the vehicle with adequate methods and materials.
• When replacing the climate control air filter install it properly. Otherwise, the system
may produce noise and the effectiveness of the filter may be reduced.
• Your vehicle is equipped with maintenance free battery. If your vehicle is equipped
with the battery marked with LOWER and UPPER on the side, you can check the
electrolyte level. The electrolyte level should be between LOWER and UPPER. If the
electrolyte level is low, it needs to add distilled (demineralized) water (Never add
sulfuric acid or other electrolyte). When refill, be careful not to splash the battery
and adjacent components. And do not overfill the battery cells. It can cause corro
sion on other parts. Make sure that the cell caps are tightened.
Contact a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia deal
er/service partner.
• Before replacing a blown fuse, disconnect the negative battery cable.
• If the electrical system does not work, first check the driver's side fuse panel.
• Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating.
• If the replacement fuse blows, this indicates an electrical problem. Avoid using the
system involved and immediately consult a professional workshop. Kia recommends
to consult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
• 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.
• The electronic system may not function correctly even when the motor room and in
ternal 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 intricate
ly than other parts, visit a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit the near
est authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
• If the multi fuse is blown, consult a professional workshop. Kia recommends to con
sult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
• If the light bulb or lamp connector is removed from an operating lamp activated by
electricity, the fuse box's electronic device may scan it as a malfunction. Therefore,
a lamp malfunction history may be recorded in Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in
the fuse box.
• It is normal for an operating lamp may blink temporarily. Since this occurrence is
due stabilization function of the vehicle's electronic control device, if the lamp lights
up normally after temporary blinking, there is no problem in the vehicle.
However, if the lamp continues to blink several times or turn off completely, there
may be an error in the vehicle's electronic control device. In this case, have the ve
hicle checked by a professional workshop immediately. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
