ELECTRIC CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Fuses
504
If any of your vehicle's lights, accessories,
or controls do not work, check the fuses.
If a fuse has blown, the-wire inside it will
be broken.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same specified rating.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid using
the system involved and immediately con-
sult an AuthorizedKia Dealer.

Fuse Replacement
CAUTION
Never replace a fuse with anything
but another fuse of the same or
lower rating. A higher capacity fuse
could cause damage and even start
a fire.
Never install a wire instead of the
proper fuse — even for a temporary
repair. It may cause extensive
wiring damage and possibly a fire.
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.

. Turn the ignition switch and all other
switches off.
Pull the suspected fuse straight out
with the removal tool provide on the
fuse box cover.
. Check the removed fuse; replace if it is
blown.
Push in a new fuse of the same rating,
and make sure it fits tightly in the clips.
If it fits loosely, have an Authorized Kia
Dealer fix it. If you do not have a
spare, use a fuse of the same rating
(or lower) from a circuit you may not
need.
