The third-generation KIA Forte, also known as the fourth-generation Cerato (models from 2019 to 2023), provides information on where to find the fuse panels inside the vehicle, as well as the function of each fuse and relay. This resource helps you understand the layout and purpose of the fuses in your KIA Forte or Cerato.
Table of Contents
Cigar lighter (power outlet) fuse in the KIA Forte / Cerato is located in the Instrument panel fuse box (see fuse “POWER OUTLET” – Cigarette Lighter), and in the Engine compartment fuse box (fuses “POWER OUTLET 2” – Front Power Outlet, “POWER OUTLET 1” – Power Outlet Relay).
