WARNING
- Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in a
vehicle with the ignition key is dan-
gerous even if the key is not in the
ignition. Children copy adults and
they could place the key in the igni-
tion. 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.

Restrictions in handling keysWhen leaving keys with parking lot and
valet attendants, the following proce-
dures will ensure that your vehicle’s trunk
and glove box compartment cannot be
opened in your absence.1. Unlock the glove box with the master
key and open it.
2. Set the trunk lid control button in the glove box compartment to OFF (not
depressed). In the OFF position, the
trunk cannot be unlocked with either
the trunk release lever inside the car or
trunk open button of transmitter.
3. Close the glove box, and lock the glove box using the master key.
4. Leave the sub key with the attendant. The trunk and glove box are secured
because the sub key only allows the
engine to start and locks and unlocks
the door.

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 cur-
rent in the wiring.

37
Knowing your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.
The immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the ignition key
and electronic devices inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, whenever
you insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks
and determines whether the ignition key
is valid or not.
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 sys-
tem:Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem:Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
The immobilizer system activates auto-
matically. Without a valid ignition key for
your vehicle, the engine will not start.✽ ✽NOTICEWhen starting the engine, do not use the
key with other immobilizer keys near it.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
keys separate.
Limp home (override) procedureWhen 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 posi-
tion. The IMMO indicator ( ) will
blink 6 times and remain on indicating
the beginning of the limp home proce-
dure.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC posi- tion.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

Knowing your vehicle833. 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 suc- cessfully, 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 proce-
dure, 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.

conditions:
1. This device may not cause interfer-
ence, and
2. This device must accept any interfer- ence, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the
device.
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignitionkey is an important part of the immobilizer system. It is designedto give years of trouble free service,however you should avoid expo- sure to moisture, static electricityand rough handling. Immobilizer system malfunction could occur.
CAUTION

3For a seating position more comfortable
to the driver and front passenger, adjust
the seat forward, backward, up and
down.
WARNING
 Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the oper-
ation of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Loose
objects might interfere with the
seat slide mechanism. Do not
place anything under the front
seats.
 The power seats are operable with the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never
be left unattended in the car.
WARNING
- Driver’s seat
 Never attempt to adjust the seatwhile the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident causing death, seri-
ous injury, or property damage.
 Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way inter-
fering with proper locking of a
seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Always drive and ride with yourseatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the safety belt, or lap belt,
snug and low across the hips.
This position puts your safety
belts in the best position to pro-
tect you in case of an accident.
 In order to avoid unnecessary air bag injuries including the possi-
bility of severe injury or death,
always sit as far back as possible
from the steering wheel while still
being able to maintain comfort-
able control of your vehicle.
 The Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) rec-
ommends that the driver sit at
least 250 mm (10 inches) away
from the steering wheel to avoid
the risk of serious injury or death
due to the deployment of the dri-
ver’s air bag.
CAUTION
 Power seats are driven by electric motor. Stop operating when theadjustment is completed.
Excessive operation may damagethe electrical equipment.
 When in operation, the power seats consume large amounts ofelectrical power. To preventunnecessary charging system drain, don’t adjust the powerseats longer than necessarywhile the engine is not running.
 Do not operate two or more power seat control buttons at the sametime. Doing so may result inpower seat motor or electricalcomponent malfunction.

Knowing your vehicle
If there is no passenger in the front pas-
senger seat or if the passenger in the
front passenger's seat is very small,
(such as a child), the front PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator may go ON.
When this indicator is ON, the front pas-
senger's air bag will not deploy.
The front passenger’s side air bag will
not deploy if the front seat is unoccupied.
The front passenger’ s side air bag may
deploy if the front seat is occupied by a
small occupant. Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained
properly (sitting upright with the seat in
an upright position, centered on the seat
cushion, with the person's legs comfort-
ably extended, feet on the floor, and
wearing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the safety belt.

The OCS may not function properly if
the passenger takes actions which can
defeat the detection system. These
include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.
(2) Leaning against the door or center console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or rest- ing them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back. 
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates after the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position or
after the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is unoccupied or is
occupied by very small person, or is
occupied by someone who is improp-
erly seated, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will remain illumi-
nated. If the front passenger seat is
occupied by someone of adult size and
body shape, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will turn off after 6
seconds.
 If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates, the front passen-
ger's air bag will not deploy.
The front passenger’ s side air bag will
not deploy if the front seat is unoccu-
pied.
The front passenger’ s side air bag may
deploy if the front seat is occupied by a
small occupant.
 If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is not illuminated, the front
passenger front air bag and front pas-
senger side air bag may deploy in
either a side or frontal collision.
