Kia MAGENTIS 2006 Owner 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?”.
Here are some answers. First, Kia is the oldest car company in Korea. It’s a company that has thousands of employees focused on
building high-quality vehicles at affordable prices because the employees own a significant percentage of the company.
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!
FOREWORD

When you require service, remember that your authorized Kia
dealer knows your vehicle best. Your dealer has factory-trained

Your vehicle has two master keys and a
sub key. The master key will open all
locks on your vehicle.
The sub key will only function in the
ignition and the door locks.
Leaving your sub key with a parking
attendant will ensure that your vehicle’s
trunk, trunk lid release, glove box
compartment and rear trunk access may
not be unlocked in your absence.
MMSA3070
The key number is stamped into the plate
attached to the key set. If you should lose
your keys, this number will enable an
Authorized Kia Dealer to duplicate the
keys easily. Remove the plate and store it
in a safe place. Also, record the number
and keep it in a safe and handy place, but
not in the vehicle.
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.
CAUTION
Use only Kia original parts for the
ignition key in your vehicle. If an
aftermarket key is used, the
ignition switch may not return to
ON after START. If this happens,
the starter will continue to operate
causing damage to the starter
motor and possible fire due to
excessive current in the wiring.

the trunk and the glove box.
One side of the key has the Kia logo
and the other side has the “S”
symbol.
CAUTION
Don’t lose your ID key or forget the
password.
Always keep your ID key in a place
where you remember and record
your password. If you don’t have
both the password and ID key,
consult your authorized Kia dealer.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
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 IU (Immobilizer Unit) 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 IU (Immobilizer
Unit).
The IU (Immobilizer Unit) checks the
signal and determines 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.
✻ NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not
use the key with other immobilizer
keys around. Otherwise the engine
may not start or may stop soon
after it starts. Keep each key
separately not to have any
malfunction after you receive your
new vehicle.

equipment.
3-8
LIMP HOME (OVERRIDE)
PROCEDURE
When you turn the ignition key to the
ON position, if the IMMO indicator
remains on continuously after blinking 6
times, your transponder equipped in the
ignition key is out of order. You cannot
start the engine without the lime home
procedure. To start the engine, you have
to input your password by using the
ignition switch.
The following procedure is how to input
your password of “2345” as an example.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON
position. The IMMO indicator ( )
will blink 6 times and remain on
indicating the beginning of the limp
home procedure.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC
position.
3. To enter the first digit (in this example
“2”), turn the ignition key to the ON
and ACC position twice. Perform the
same procedure for the next digits
between 3 seconds and 10 seconds
(for example, for “3”, turn the ignition
ON and ACC 3 times).
4. If all of the digits have been input
successfully, you have to start the
engine within 10 seconds. If you
attempt to start the engine after 10
seconds, the engine will not start and
you will have to input your password
again.
After performing the limp home
procedure, you have to see an authorized
Kia dealer immediately to inspect and
repair your ignition key or immobilizer
system.
CAUTION
If you cannot start your engine in
spite of limp home procedure, have
your vehicle towed by an
authorized Kia dealer for
inspection and necessary repairs.
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition
key is an important part of the
immobilizer system. It is designed
to give years of trouble free 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.

SEATS
WARNING - Drivers
• Never adjust the driver’s seat
or seatback when the vehicle
is moving. Doing so could
cause loss of control, and
serious personal injury or
death.
• Do not allow packages or
other objects to interfere with
the normal position of a
seatback. These objects may
prevent the seatback from
locking, which could result in
serious injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or
collision.
• Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and
the lap portion of the safety
belt snug and low across the
hips.
• Children can be killed or
injured by the passenger air
bag. The back seat is the
safest place for children 12
and under. Make sure all
children use seat belts or
child seats.
