1. Turn the ignition switch and all other

switches off.

2. Pull the suspected fuse straight out.

Use the removal tool provided on the
main fuse box in the engine compart-
ment fuse relay box (if equipped).
Refer to the fuse panel chart on the
fuse panel cover to identify the likely
problem fuse or electrical circuit.

3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it

is blown. The number of fuses vary
according to the vehicle model. Check
both the passenger and engine com-
partment fuse box covers.

4. Push in a new fuse of the same rating,

and make sure it fits tightly in the clips.

If it fits loosely, consult an authorized Kia
dealer.

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 cigar lighter fuse.

If the headlights or other electrical com-
ponents do not work and the fuses are
OK, check the fuse block in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced.
