WARNING
- Ignition Key
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous even if the key is not
in the ignition. Children could
place the key in the ignition and
operate the power windows or
other controls, leading to a seri-
ous accident. Never leave a
child alone in the vehicle, with
or without keys.
CAUTION
Use only Kia original parts for
the ignition key in your vehicle.
If an aftermarket key is used,
the ignition switch may not
return to ON after START. If this
happens, the starter will contin-
ue to operate causing damage
to the starter motor and possi-
ble fire due to excessive current
in the wiring.

Limp home (override) procedure
When you turn the ignition key to the
ON position, if the IMMO indicator
remains on continuously after blink-
ing 6 times, the transponder installed
in the ignition key is out of order. You
cannot start the engine without using
the limp home procedure. To start the
engine, you have to input your pass-
word using the ignition switch.The following procedure shows how
to input a sample password of “2345.”
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON
position. The IMMO indicator will
blink 6 times and remain on indi-
cating the beginning of the limp
home procedure.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC
position.
3. To enter the first digit (in this exam-
ple “2”), turn the ignition key to the
ON and ACC position twice. Wait 3
seconds but not more than 10 sec-
onds, and perform the same pro-
cedure for the next digits (for
example, for “3”, turn the ignition to
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 pro-
cedure, you have to see an author-
ized Kia dealer immediately to
inspect and repair your ignition key or
immobilizer system.KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE3-4
CAUTION
If you cannot start your engine
in spite of the limp home proce-
dure, have your vehicle towed
by an authorized Kia dealer for
inspection and necessary
repairs.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust
the immobilizer system at your
discretion. It could cause the
malfunction of your immobilizer
system. A malfunction resulting
from the changing, altering
and/or adjusting by persons
other than an authorized Kia
dealer will not be covered by
the Kia Warranty.
