Kia Sportage 2005 Owner's Manual

kia, tthe ccompany

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!

i

Thank you for choosing a Kia vehicle.
When you require service, remember that your dealer

knows your vehicle best. Your dealer has factory-trained
technicians, recommended special tools, genuine Kia
replacement parts and is dedicated to your complete sat­isfaction.

Because subsequent owners require this important infor­mation as well, this publication should remain with the
vehicle if it is sold.

This manual will familiarize you with operational, main­tenance and safety information about your new vehicle. It
is supplemented by a Warranty and Consumer
Information manual that provides important information
on all warranties regarding your vehicle. If your vehicle
is equipped with an audio system, you will also have a
Kia Integrated Audio System manual explaining its oper­ation. We urge you to read these publications carefully
and follow the recommendations to help assure enjoyable
and safe operation of your new vehicle.

Kia offers a great variety of options, components and fea­tures for its various models.

Therefore, the equipment described in this manual, along
with the various illustrations, may not all be applicable to
your particular vehicle.

The information and specifications provided in this man­ual were accurate at the time of printing. Kia reserves the
right to discontinue or change specifications or design at
any time without notice and without incurring any obli­gation. If you have questions, always check with your
Kia Dealer.

We assure you of our continuing interest in your motor­ing pleasure and satisfaction in your Kia vehicle.

VEHICLE HANDLING
INSTRUCTIONS

As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correct­ly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.

Specific design characteristics (high­er ground clearance, track, etc.) give
this vehicle a higher center of gravity
than other types of vehicles. In other
words they are not designed for cor­nering at the same speeds as con­ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu­vers. Again, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control, an accident or vehicle
rollover. Be sure to read the “on­pavement” and “off-road” driving
guidelines, in section 5 of this manu­al.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN
PROCESS

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.

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.

CAUTION

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)

Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
to reduce the risk of unauthorized
vehicle use.

1

Your immobilizer system is com­prised of a small transponder in the

2

ignition key, and antenna coil in the
key cylinder and Immobilizer Control
Unit (or Smartra Unit).

3

With this system, whenever you
insert your ignition key into the igni-

4

tion switch and turn it to ON, the
antenna coil in the ignition switch
receives a signal from the transpon-

5

der in the ignition key and then sends
the signal to the ECU (Engine
Control Unit).

6

The ECU checks the signal whether
the ignition key is valid.

7

If the key is determined to be valid,
the engine will start.

8

If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.

9

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.

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.T urn the ignition ke y 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.

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).

83

Knowing your vehicle

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.

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 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.

This device complies with
Industry Canada Standard RSS-

210. Operation is subject to the fol-

lowing two conditions:

/window open, you will draw
dangerous exhaust fumes into
your vehicle causing serious
injury or death to vehicle
occupants.

If you must drive with the rear
hatch/window open, keep the
air vents open so that addi­tional outside air comes into
the vehicle.

• Occupants should never ride
in the rear cargo area where
no restraints are available. To
avoid injury in the event of an
accident or sudden stops,
occupants should always be
properly restrained.

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.

individual door window switch in
opposing directions at the same
time. If this is done, the window
will stop and cannot be opened or
closed.

CAUTION

• Make sure heads and hands
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 lock 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.
