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,inKithe word “Kia” means “to arise from to

the world” or “to come up out of to the world.” The second syllable, means “Asia.” So, the word, meansKia “to arise from”

or “to come up out of Asia to the world.”

Drive safely and enjoy your Kia!

Key operations

Master key

Used to start the engine, lock and unlock the doors, and open the trunk (if equipped).

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.

WARNING

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.

IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

1

2

3

4

OHD046100

 

Your vehicle is equipped with an

5

electronic engine immobilizer system

 

to reduce the risk of unauthorized

 

vehicle use.

6

Your immobilizer system is com-

 

prised of a small transponder in the

 

7

ignition key, and antenna coil in the

key cylinder and Immobilizer unit in

 

the instrument panel.

8

With this system, whenever you

 

insert your ignition key into the igni-

 

9

tion 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 RSS210. 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.

WARNING

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

3 6

Limp home (override) procedure

When you turn the ignition key to the ON position, if the IMMO indicator remains on continuously after blinking 6 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 6 times and remain on indicating the beginning of the limp home procedure.

2.Turn the ignition key to the ACC position.

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.

Knowing your vehicle

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 - Objects on floor

Loose objects in the driver’s foot area could interfere with the operation of the foot pedals, possibly causing an accident. Do not place anything under the front seats.

WARNING - Seating position

Never attempt to adjust seat while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident causing death or serious injury.

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.

WARNING

Driving or riding in a vehicle

 

1

with a front seatback reclined

could lead to serious or fatal

 

 

injury in an accident. If a front

2

seat is reclined during an acci-

dent, the occupant’s hips may

 

3

slide under the lap portion of

the safety belt applying great

force to

the unprotected

 

4

abdomen. Serious or fatal inter-

nal injuries could result. The

 

 

driver must advise the front pas-

 

5

senger to keep the seatbacks in

comfortably

upright position

 

 

whenever the vehicle is in

6

motion.

desired position (1). To lower the

 

8

headrest, push and hold the release

button (2) on the headrest support

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.

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.
