This system is designed to provide
protection from unauthorized entry
into the vehicle. This system is oper-
ated in three stages: the first is the
"Armed" stage, the second is the
"Theft-alarm" stage, and the third is
the "Disarmed" stage. If triggered,
the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard
warning lights.
Armed stage
Park the vehicle and stop the engine.
Arm the system as described below.
1. Remove the ignition key from the
ignition switch and exit the vehicle.
2. Make sure that all doors (and tail- gate) and engine hood are closed
and latched.
3. Lock the doors using the transmit- ter of the keyless entry system (or
smart key) or ignition key.
After completion of the steps above,
the hazard warning lights will blink
(for smart key, the chime also
sounds) once to indicate that the
system is armed. If any door (or tailgate) or engine
hood remains open, the hazard
warning lights and the chime will not
operate and the theft-alarm will not
arm. If all doors (and tailgate) and
engine hood are closed after the lock
button is pressed, the hazard warn-
ing lights blink once.
The system can also be armed by
locking the doors with the key from
the front doors; however, the hazard
warning lights will not blink using this
method.

tivated by an authorized Kia dealer.

✽
✽NOTICE
When the sliding doors are opened
manually (power OFF), more effort
will be required to open and close
than on non-power sliding doors.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• The power sliding door and power
tailgate can be operated when the
engine is not running. However
the power operation consumes
large amounts of vehicle electric
power. To prevent the battery
from being discharged, do not
operate them excessively.
• To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the power
sliding door and power tailgate at
open position for a long lime.
• Do not apply excessive force while operating the power sliding door
or power tailgate. This could cause
damage to the power sliding door
or power tailgate.
• When jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle, do
not operate the power sliding door
or power tailgate. This could cause
the power sliding door or power tail-
gate to operate improperly.
Automatic stop and reversal
If the power opening or closing is
blocked by an object or part of the
body, the power sliding door and
power tailgate will detect the resist-
ance, then the chime will sound 3
times, and stop movement or move
to the full open position to allow the
object to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak
such as an object that is thin or soft,
or the door is near latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may
not detect the resistance and closing
operation will continue. Also, if the
power sliding door or power tailgate
is forced by strong impact, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may operate.
If the automatic stop and reversal
feature operates continuously more
than twice during one opening or
closing operation, the power sliding
door or power tailgate may stop at
that position. At this time, close the
doors manually and operate the door
automatically again.
