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
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.

TURN SIGNALSThe same lever that controls the head-
lights also controls the turn signals. The
ignition switch must be ON for the turn
signals to function. Move the lever up or

completed. If the indicator continues to
flash after a turn, manually return the
lever to the OFF (middle) position.

signal lever slightly and hold it in
position. The lever will return to the
OFF(middle) position when released.

panel indicate which turn signal is
operating. If an indicator stays ON and
does not flash or if it flashes abnormally,
one or more of the turn signal bulbs may
be burned out and will require
replacement.
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL) Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day. DRL can
be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn
and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your High-
beam headlights turn OFF when:
• the headlight switch is ON.
• the parking brake is engaged.
• the engine stops.

5. If dehumidified heating is desired,
turn the air conditioning system (if
equipped) ON.
• If cool air is desired at face level for
bi-level operation, set the mode
selection switch to the position.
• If the windshield fogs up, set the mode
selection switch to the position.
AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM OPERATING
TIPS:• If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time to
let hot air inside the vehicle escape.
• To help reduce moisture on the inside
of windows on rainy, humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the
vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system.
• During air conditioning system
operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed at idle as the A/C compressor
cycles ON. This is a normal system
operating characteristic.
• Use the air conditioning system every
month if only for a few minutes.
• After air conditioning system use,
you may notice clear water dripping
(or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the
vehicle. This is a normal system
operating characteristic.
CAUTION
Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside the vehicle which
may fog the glass and obscure visi-
bility.

operating characteristic.• The air conditioning system includes
a function that will automatically turn
the A/C compressor OFF if engine
coolant temperature approaches an
overheating level. A/C compressor
operation will resume once engine
coolant temperature returns to the
“normal” range. Also, the A/C
compressor is automatically turned
off for a few seconds when the
accelerator is fully depressed.
• When operating the air conditioning
system use the outside (fresh) air
position.
• Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position does
provide maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.
