3) Sub key
Similar to the master key, this key
will only function in the ignition and
the door locks, but it will not operate
the trunk and the glove box.
One side of the key has the Kia logo
and the other side has the “S”
symbol.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEMYour vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised
of a small transponder in the ignition
key, and antenna coil in the key cylinder
and IU (Immobilizer Unit) in the
instrument panel.
With this system, whenever you insert
your ignition key into the ignition 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 IU (Immobilizer
Unit).
The IU (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.

CAUTION
Don’t lose your ID key or forget the
password.
Always keep your ID key in a place
where you remember and record
your password. If you don’t have
both the password and ID key,
consult your authorized Kia dealer.
✻
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.

(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.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTThe purpose of the air bag warning light
in your instrument panel is to alert you of
a potential problem with your Air Bag -
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Have the system checked if:
• The light does not illuminate when
you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays ON after the engine
starts.
• The light comes ON or flashes while
you are driving.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM SERVICEYour Supplemental Restraint System is
virtually maintenance-free. There are no
parts which you can service.
You must have the system serviced
under the following circumstances:
• If an air bag ever inflates, the air bag
must be replaced. Do not try to
remove or discard the air bag by
yourself.
This must be done by an Authorized
Kia Dealer.
• If the air bag warning indicator light
alerts you of a problem, have the air
bag system checked as soon as
possible. Otherwise, your air bag
might not inflate when you need it.
The entire SRS system must be inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer 10 years
after the vehicle manufacture date.
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
AIR
BAG
AS2B03035
 Do not use excessive force
on the side of the seat.
 Do not place any objects
over the airbag or between
the airbag and yourself.
 Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag,etc.) between
the front door and the front
seat. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the side air
bag inflates.
 To prevent unexpected
deploy-ment of the side air
bag that may result in
personal injury, avoid impact
to the side airbag sensor
when the ignition key is
“ON”.

WARNING - Fuel Filling
Fuel may be under pressure.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap is
venting fuel or if a hissing sound
is heard, wait until the condition
stops before completely
removing the cap. If these
precautions are not followed,
fuel may spray out and cause
serious personal injury.
WARNING
Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When
refueling, please note the
following guidelines carefully.
Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in severe
personal injury, severe burns or
death by fire or explosion.
 Before refueling always note
the location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station facility.
 Before touching the fuel
nozzle or fuel filler cap, you
should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity
discharge by touching
another metal part of the front
of the vehicle, a safe distance
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle, or other gas source.
 Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun
refueling. Do not touch, rub
or slide against any item or
fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,
etc.) capable of producing
static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors resulting in
explosion. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by
touching a metal part of the
vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other
gasoline source.
 When using a portable fuel
container be sure to place the
container on the ground prior
to refueling. Static electricity
discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling
has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
Use only portable fuel
containers designed to carry
and store gasoline.
 Do not use cellular phones
around a gas station or while
refueling any vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic
interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If
you must use your cellular
phone, use it in a place away
from the gas station.
 When refueling always shut
the engine off. Sparks
produced by electrical
components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.

• To remove the cap, turn it coun
terclockwise.
• To install the cap, turn it clock wise
until it “clicks”.
This indicates that the cap is securely
tightened.The fuel filler neck is designed to
prevent filling the fuel tank with
anything but unleaded fuel.
Always insure that the
engine is OFF before and
during refueling. Once
refueling is complete, check
to make sure the fuel filler
cap and door are securely
closed, before starting the
engine.
 Do not light any fire around a
gas station. DO NOT use
matches or a lighter and DO
NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while
at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive
fuel is highly flammable and
can, when ignited, result in
explosion by flames.
 If a fire breaks out during
refueling, leave the vicinity of
the vehicle, and immediately
contact the manager of the
gas station or contact the
police and local fire
department. Follow any
safety instructions they
provide.
✻
NOTICE
A loose fuel filler cap may cause the
OBD-II Malfunction Indicator
Light ( ) light in the instrument
panel to illuminate unnecessarily.
Always ensure that the fuel filler
cap is tight.
CHECK
✻
NOTICE
If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
Kia cap. An incorrect fuel filler cap
can result in a serious malfunction
of the fuel system or emission
control system. Correct
replacement caps are available at
Authorized Kia Dealers.
