Kia Opirus 2006 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?”
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.
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

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.
✽✽
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.
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.

Knowing your vehicle
Power windows
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 .Howe ver , the driv er 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.
CAUTION
• Make sure hands and face 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 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
