Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car‐
tridge type, and fusible link for higher
amperage ratings.
WARNING
n
Fuse replacement
• Never replace a fuse with anything
but another fuse of the same rat‐
ing.
• A higher capacity fuse could cause
damage and possibly a fire.
• Never install a wire or aluminum
foil instead of the proper fuse
even as a temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring damage
and a possible fire.
• Do not arbitrarily modify or add-
on electric wiring of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any oth‐
er metal object to remove fuses be‐
cause it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.
NOTICE
The actual fuse/relay panel label
may differ from equipped items.
CAUTION
• When replacing a blown fuse or re‐
lay with a new one, make sure the
new fuse or relay fits tightly into
the clips. The incomplete fastening
fuse or relay may cause the vehi‐
cle wiring and electric systems
damage and a possible fire.
• Do not remove fuses, relays and
terminals
fastened with bolts or
nuts. The fuses, relays and termi‐
nals may be fastened incomplete‐
ly, and it may cause a possible fire.
If fuses, relays and terminals fas‐
tened with bolts or nuts are blown,
consult a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to consult an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.

• Do not input any other objects ex‐
cept fuses or r
elays into fuse/relay
terminals such as a driver or wir‐
ing. It may cause contact failure
and system malfunction.
• Do not plug in screwdrivers or af‐
termarket
wiring into the terminal
originally designed for fuse and re‐
lays only. The electrical system
and wiring of the vehicle interior
may be damaged or burned due to
contact failure.
