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.

IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
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 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.

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.

(Continued)
(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 10 inches (250 mm) away from the steering wheel.
