Inner panel fuse replacement

Turn the ignition switch and allother switches off.

Open the fuse panel cover.

Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided in the main fuse box in the engine compartment.

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

Spare fuses are provided in the instrument panel fuse panel (or 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.

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 cigarette lighter fuse.

If the headlights or taillights, stoplights, day time running lights (D.R.L) do not work and the fuses are OK, check the fuse panel in the engine compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced.

Even without any problem to the lamps, have a check at a professional workshop for assistance. Kia recommends to visit the nearest authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

Fuse switch

Always, put the fuse switch at the ON position.

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.

If the fuse switch is in OFF, a warning sign will illuminate on the dashboard.

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.
