Replacing motor room fuse

Operation

Press the EV button to the OFF position and turn 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 motor 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 motor 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 authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

CAUTION

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.

NOTICE
