Kia Spectra 2007 User 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!

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.
WARNING

the ignition key in your vehicle.
If an aftermarket key is used,the
ignition switch may not return

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 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 Immobilizer unit.
The 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.
This device complies with
Industry Canada Standard RSS-
210. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2.This device must accept any interference, including interf erence that
may cause undesired operation of
the device.

successfully, you have to start the
engine within 10 seconds. If you

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

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
If you cannot start your engine
in spite of limp home procedure,
have your vehicle towed by an
authorized Kia dealer for

WARNING
Driving or riding in a vehicle
with a front seatback reclined
could lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. If a front
seat is reclined during an accident, the occupant’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of
the safety belt applying great
force to the unprotected
abdomen. Serious or fatal internal injuries could result. The
driver must advise the front passenger to keep the seatbacks in
comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in
motion.

Headrest adjustment
Adjusting the height up and down
The headrest not only provides comfort for the driver and passengers,
but also helps to protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button (2) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desired
position (3). For best protection,
adjust the headrest so its center is as
high as your ears.
Removal
To remove the headrest, raise it as
far as it can go then press the
release button (1) while pulling
upward (2).
Active headrest (if equipped)
The active headrest is designed to
move forward and upward during a
rear impact.This helps to prevent the
driver's and front passenger’s head
from moving backward and thus
helps prevent neck injuries.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of head and
neck injuries, do not drive the
vehicle with the headrest
removed or improperly positioned.
Do not adjust the driver’s headrest while driving.
