Introduction

Gasoline containing alcohol and
methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),
and gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are being marketed along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded gasoline.

Do not use gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or
gasohol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability prob­lems and damage to the fuel system.

Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.

Vehicle damage or driveability problems
may not be covered by the manufactur­er’s warranty if they result from the use
of:

1. Gasohol containing more than 10%
ethanol.

2.Gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

No special break-in period is needed. By
following a f e w 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.

CAUTION

Never use gasohol which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of any
gasohol product which impairs dri­vability.

Features of your vehicle

This system is designed to provide pro­tection from unauthorized entry into the
car. This system is operated in three
stages: the first is the "Armed" stage, the
second is the "Theft-alarm" stage, and
the third is the "Disarmed" stage. If trig­gered, the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard warning
lights.

Armed stage

Park the car and stop the engine. Arm
the system as described below.

1. Remove the ignition key from the igni­tion switch.

2. Make sure that all doors, the engine
hood and tailgate are closed and
latched.

3. Lock the doors using the transmitter of
the keyless entry system.

After completion of the steps above, the
hazard warning lights will blink once to
indicate that the system is armed.

If any door, tailgate or engine hood
remains open, the hazard warning lights
won’t operate and theft-alarm will not
arm. After this, if all doors, tailgate and
engine hood are closed, the hazard
warning lights blink once.

The system can be armed by locking the
doors with the key from the front doors or
tailgate. However, the hazard warning
lights are not operated.

• If any door, tailgate or engine hood
remains open, the system will not
be armed. If this happens, re-arm
the system as described previous.

• Do not arm the system until all pas­sengers have left the vehicle. If the
system is armed while a passen­ger(s) remains in the vehicle, the
alarm may be activated when the
remaining passenger(s) leave the
vehicle. If any door, tailgate or
engine hood is opened within 30
seconds after entering the armed
stage, the system is disarmed to
prevent unnecessary alarm.

manufacturer warranty.

39

Features of 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
Immobilizer Control Unit (or Smartra
Unit).

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:

Tur n 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.

✽✽

NOTICE

If you need additional keys or lose your
keys, consult your authorized Kia dealer .

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 posi­tion.

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.

Features of your vehicle

103

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.

This device complies with Industry
Canada Standard RSS-210. Operation

is subject to the following two conditions:

1.This device may not cause interfer­ence, and

2. This device must accept any interfer­ence, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the
device.

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.

WARNING

Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
