Replacing engine compartment fuse
Operation
-
Turn the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button 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 designed for changing fuses located in the engine room fuse box. Upon removal, securely insert reserve fuse of equal quantity.
-
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 a professional workshop. Kia recommends to consult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
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.
Replacing main fuse (multi fuse)
Operation
-
Turn ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button to OFF position.
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
-
Remove the nuts shown in the picture above.
-
Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
-
Reinstall in the reverse order of removal.
Visually inspect the battery cap for secure closing. If the battery cap is not securely latched, the electrical system may be damaged to due influx of moisture into the system.
-
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 positive battery terminal (+) cap. Since the main fuse is designed more intricately than other parts, visit a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit the nearest authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
-
If the multi fuse is blown, consult a professional workshop. Kia recommends to consult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
