securely closed after refueling. A loose
fuel filler cap may cause the “Check
Engine (Malfuntion indicator, )”
light in the instrument panel to illumi-
nate unnecessarily.
• If the fuel filler cap requires replace-
ment, use only a genuine Kia cap or
the equivalent specified for your vehi-
cle. An incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction of the

Wireless control system
The HomeLink® Wireless Control
System provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held radio-fre-
quency (RF) transmitters with a single
built-in device. This innovative feature will
learn the radio frequency codes of most
current transmitters to operate devices
such as gate operators, garage door
openers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both standard
and rolling code-equipped transmitters
can be programmed by following the out-
lined procedures. Additional HomeLink®
information can be found at: www.home-
link.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink® programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink® buttons be
erased for security purposes.
HOMELINK® WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Before programming HomeLink® to
a garage door opener or gate oper-
ator, make sure that people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm or
damage. Do not use HomeLink®
with any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and reverse
features as required by U.S. Federal
Safety Standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manu-
factured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to stop
and reverse - does not meet current
U.S. Federal Safety Standards.
Using a garage door opener without
these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death.
B520C01MG

Knowing your vehicle80 3Programming HomeLink® When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park the
vehicle outside of the garage.
It is recommended that a new bat-
tery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink® for quicker
training and accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal.
Some vehicles may require the igni-
tion switch to be turned to the sec-
ond (or "accessories") position for
programming and/or operation of
HomeLink.
In the event that there are still pro-
gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming
steps listed below, contact
