Kia Cerato 2004 Owner's Manual

kia, the company
Now that you are the owner of a Kia Vehicle, you’ll probably be asked a lot of questions about your vehicle and the company like “What is a Kia?,” “Who is Kia?,” “What does ‘Kia’ mean?”
The first syllable, Ki, in the word “Kia” means “to arise from to the world” or “to come up out of to the world.” The second syl­lable, a, means “Asia.” So, the word Kia, means “to arise from” or “to come up out of Asia to the world.”
Enjoy your Vehicle!
i
Thank you for choosing a Kia vehicle. When you require service, remember that your dealer
knows your vehicle best. Your dealer has factory-trained technicians, recommended special tools, genuine Kia replacement parts and is dedicated to your complete sat­isfaction.
Because subsequent owners require this important infor­mation as well, this publication should remain with the vehicle if it is sold.
This manual will familiarize you with operational, main­tenance and safety information about your new vehicle. It is supplemented by a Warranty and Maintenance book that provides important information on all warranties regarding your vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with an audio system, you will also have a Kia Integrated Audio System manual explaining its operation. We urge you to read these publications carefully and follow the recommendations to help assure enjoyable and safe oper­ation of your new vehicle.
Kia offers a great variety of options, components and fea­tures for its various models.
Therefore, the equipment described in this manual, along with the various illustrations, may not all be applicable to your particular vehicle.
The information and specifications provided in this man­ual were accurate at the time of printing. Kia reserves the right to discontinue or change specifications or design at any time without notice and without incurring any obli­gation. If you have questions, always check with your Kia Dealer.
We assure you of our continuing interest in your motor­ing pleasure and satisfaction in your Kia vehicle.

Introduction
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS
No special break-in period is need­ed. By following a few simple precau­tions for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to the perform­ance, economy and life of your vehi­cle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emer­gencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.

WARNING - Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in a vehicle with the ignition key is dangerous even if the key is not in the ignition. Children copy adults and they could place the key in the ignition. The ignition key would enable children to operate power windows or other controls, or even make the vehi­cle move, which could result in serious bodily injury or even death. Never leave the keys in your vehicle with unsupervised children.

3. Install the battery in the reverse order of removal.
NOTICE
The keyless entry system transmit­ter is designed to give you years of troublefree use, however it can mal­function if exposed to moisture or static electricity. If you are unsure how to use your transmitter or replace the battery, contact an authorized Kia dealer.
For replacement transmitters, see an Authorized Kia Dealer for reprogram­ming.
NOTICE
• Using the wrong battery can cause the transmitter to malfunction. Be sure to use the correct battery.

Knowing your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic engine immobilizer system to reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com­prised of a small transponder in the ignition key, and antenna coil in the key cylinder and BCM (Body Control Module) in the instrument panel.
With this system, whenever you insert your ignition key into the igni­tion switch and turn it to ON, the antenna coil in the ignition switch receives a signal from the transpon­der in the ignition key and then sends the signal to the BCM (Body control Module).
The BCM checks the signal whether the ignition key is valid.
If the key is determined to be valid, the engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid, the engine will not start.
To deactivate the immobilizer sys­tem:
Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder and turn it to the ON posi­tion.
To activate the immobilizer sys­tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi­tion. The immobilizer system acti­vates automatically. Without a valid ignition key for your vehicle, the engine will not start.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition key is an important part of the immobilizer system. It is designed to give years of trou­blefree service, however you should avoid exposure to mois­ture, static electricity and rough handling. Immobilizer system malfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust the immobilizer system because it could cause the immobilizer system to malfunction and should only be serviced by an authorized Kia dealer. Malfunctions caused by improp­er alterations, adjustments or modifications to the immobilizer system are not covered by your vehicle manufacturer warranty.

Power windows (if equipped)
The ignition switch must be in the ON position for power windows to oper­ate. Each door has a power window switch that controls that door’s win­dow. However, the driver has a power window lock switch which can block the operation of passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation (wind shock) with either side window open, you should open the opposite window slightly to reduce the condi­tion.
NOTICE
To prevent the power window sys­tem from the possibility of damage, do not open or close two windows at the same time. This will also ensure the longevity of the fuse.
Manual windows (if equipped)
Use the window crank to open and close each window.
CAUTION
• Make sure heads and hands are safely out of the way before closing a window.
• Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keep the driver’s door power win­dow lock switch in the LOCK position (depressed). Serious injury can result from uninten­tional window operation by the child.
• Do not extend face or arms outside through the window opening while driving.
• Always double check to make sure all arms, hands and other obstructions are safely out of the way before closing a win­dow

(Continued)
• Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap portion of the safety belt, or lap belt, snug and low across the hips. This position puts your safety belts in the best position to protect you in case of an accident.
• In order to avoid unnecessary airbag injuries including the possibility of severe injury or death, always sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel so that your chest is away at least 250 mm (10 inch­es) away from the steering wheel.
WARNING
• Loose objects in the driver’s foot area could interfere with the operation of the foot ped­als, possibly causing an acci­dent. Loose objects might interfere with the seat slide mechanism. Do not place any­thing under the front seats.
• Children should never be left unattended in the car.
WARNING - Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust seat while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident caus­ing death, serious injury, or property damage.
• Do not allow anything to inter­fere with the normal position of the seatback. Storing items against a seatback or in any other way interfering with proper locking of a seatback could result in serious or fatal injury in a sudden stop or col­lision.
