When the smart key does not work
correctly, open and close the door
with the mechanical key. If you
have a problem with the smart key,
contact an authorized Kia dealer.
If the smart key is in close proximi- ty to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the smart
key could be blocked by normal
operation of your cell phone or
smart phone.
This is especially important when
the phone is active such as making
call, receiving calls, text messag-
ing, and/or sending/receiving
emails. Avoid placing the smart key
and your cell phone or smart
phone in the same pants or jacket
pocket and maintain adequate dis-
tance between the two devices.
Do not leave the smart key near metallic objects such as golf bag,
metal case and so on.
Door Lock/Unlock failure or poor starting can occur when the smart
key is placed near metallic objects. Always carry your smart key when
you leave the car. An unattended
smart key close to the vehicle can
cause the vehicle battery to be dis-
charged itself.
The smart key is not completely water-proof. In turn, internal circuit
damage-related malfunction may
occur when the key comes into
contact with moisture (beverage,
water etc.) or is heated. In this
case, warranty repair is not avail-
able.
When the smart key is left with a bunch of keys, the Lock/Unlock
button for doors and liftgate can be
accidently pressed. Pay careful
attention to key use.Remote keyless entry system

mitter.
When the smart key does not work
properly, open and close the door
with the smart key. If you have a
problem with the smart key, contact

WARNING
• For emergencies, be fully
aware of the location of the
emergency liftgate safety
release lever in the vehicle
and how to open the liftgate if
you are accidentally locked in
the luggage compartment.
No one should be allowed to occupy the luggage compart-
ment of the vehicle at any time.
The luggage compartment is a
very dangerous location in the
event of a crash.

while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
NEVER allow anyone to occupy
the liftgate of the vehicle at any
time. If the liftgate is partially or
totally latched and the person is
unable to get out, serious injury
or death could occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes
and rapid heat build-up, or
because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The liftgate
is also a highly dangerous loca-
tion in the event of a crash
because it is not a protected
occupant space but is a part of
the vehicle’s crush zone.

Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust the mirror angles
before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both
left-hand and right-hand outside
rearview mirrors. The mirrors can be
adjusted remotely with the remote
switch. The mirror heads can be fold-
ed back to prevent damage during an
automatic vehicle wash or when
passing through a narrow street.
The right outside rearview mirror is
convex. Objects seen in the mirror
are closer than they appear.
Use your interior rearview mirror or
direct observation to determine the
actual distance of following vehicles
when changing lanes. If the mirror is jammed with ice, do
not adjust the mirror by force. Use an
approved spray de-icer (not radiator
antifreeze) to release the frozen
mechanism or move the vehicle to a
warm place and allow the ice to melt.
Adjusting outside rearview mirror
The electric remote control mirror
switch allows you to adjust the posi-
tion of the left and right outside
rearview mirrors. To adjust the posi-
tion of either mirror, press the R or L
button (1) to select the right side mir-
ror or the left side mirror, then press a
corresponding point ( ) on the mir-
ror adjustment control to position the
selected mirror up, down, left or right.
After adjustment, press the R or L
button again to prevent the inadver-
tent adjustment.

rearview mirrors while the vehi-
cle is moving. This could result
