Kia Magentis 2008 Owner's Manual
kia, the company
Congratulations! Your selection of a Kia was a wise investment. It
will give you years of driving pleasure. 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 is a company that has thousands of employees focused on building
high-quality vehicles at affordable prices.
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.”
Drive safely and enjoy your Kia!

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.

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
ICU (Immobilizer Control Unit) in the
steering shaft.
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 ECU (Engine
Control Unit).
The ECU 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.
✽✽
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 keys
separate to avoid immobilizer malfunctions.
Limp home (override) procedure
When you turn the ignition key to the ON
position, if the IMMO indicator goes off
after blinking 5 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 5
times and go off indicating the beginning of the limp home procedure.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC posi-
tion.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories near
the key or ignition switch.
The engine may not start for the
metal accessories may interrupt the
transponder signal from normally
transmitting.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
Immobilizer password is a customer unique password and should
be kept confidential. Do not leave
this number anywhere in your vehicle.

Knowing your vehicle
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 30 seconds. If you attempt to
start the engine after 30 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.
✽✽
NOTICE
If you cannot start your engine in spite
of limp home procedure, have yourvehicle towed by an authorized Kia dealer
for inspection and necessary repairs.

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.
✽✽
NOTICE
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.

2. Slide the seat to the desired position.
3. Release the lever and make sure the

WARNING - Loose objects
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

WARNING - Seating posi-
tion
In order to avoid unnecessary air
bag injuries including the possibility of severe injury or death, always
sit as far back as possible by moving the seat far back, while still
maintaining good vehicle control.
Serious injury or death may be
caused due to the deployment of
the passenger’s air bag.
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.
• Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright lap portion of
the safety belt is snug and low
across the hips. This puts your
safety belts in the best position to
protect you in case of an accident.
• In order to avoid unnecessary air
bag 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 at least 250 mm (10
