Transmitter precautions
✽✽NOTICE
The transmitter will not work if any of
the following occurs:
 The ignition key is in the ignition switch.
 You exceed the operating distance
limit (about 10 m [30 feet]).
 The battery in the transmitter is
weak.
 Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
 The weather is extremely cold.
 The transmitter is close to a radio transmitter such as a radio station or
an airport which can interfere with
normal operation of the transmitter.
When the transmitter does not work
properly, open and close the door with
the ignition key. If you have a problem
with the transmitter, contact an author-
ized KIA dealer.
Battery replacement
A transmitter uses a 3 volt lithium battery
which will normally last for several years.
When replacement is necessary, use the
following procedure.
1. Insert a slim tool into the slot and gen- tly pry open the transmitter center
cover.
2. Replace the battery with a new battery (CR2032). When replacing the battery,
make sure the battery positive “+” sym-
bol faces up as indicated in the illus-
tration.
3. Install the battery in the reverse order of removal.
For transmitter replacement, see an
authorized KIA dealer to reprogram the
transmitter.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the partyresponsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operatethe equipment. If the keyless entrysystem is inoperative due tochanges or modifications not
expressly approved by the partyresponsible for compliance, it will not be covered by your manufactur-er’s vehicle warranty.
CAUTION
Keep the transmitter away fromwater or any liquid. If the keyless
entry system is inoperative due toexposure to water or liquids, it willnot be covered by your manufactur- er’s vehicle warranty.

How vehicle audio works
AM(MW, LW) and FM radio signals are
broadcast from transmitter towers locat-
ed around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehicle.
This signal is then received by the radio
and sent to your vehicle speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.AM(MW, LW) broadcasts can be
received at greater distances than FM
broadcasts. This is because AM(MW,
LW) radio waves are transmitted at low
frequencies. These long, low frequency
radio waves can follow the curvature of
the earth rather than travelling straight
out into the atmosphere. In addition, they
curve around obstructions so that they
can provide better signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM
broadcasts generally begin to fade at
short distances from the station. Also,
FM signals are easily affected by build-
ings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening con-
ditions which might lead you to believe a
problem exists with your radio. The fol-
lowing conditions are normal and do not
indicate radio trouble:

Fading - As your vehicle moves away
from the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to fade.
When this occurs, we suggest that youselect another stronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears. Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select anoth-er station with a stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed signal from the same station, or by
signals from two stations with close
frequencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the condition haspassed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-way
radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not meanthat something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possiblefrom the audio equipment.
JBM005
CAUTION
When using a communication sys- tem such a cellular phone or a radio
set inside the vehicle, a separateexternal antenna must be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio setis used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi- cle's electrical system and adverse-ly affect safe operation of the vehi- cle.
WARNING
Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving. You should stop at
a safe place to use a cellular phone.

What to do in an emergency
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)malfunction indicator
The low tire pressure telltale will illu-
minate after it blinks for approximate-
ly one minute when there is a prob-
lem with the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System. If the system is able to cor-
rectly detect an underinflation warn-
ing at the same time as system fail-ure then it will illuminate both the
TPMS malfunction and low tire pres-
sure position telltales e.g. if Front Left
sensor fails, the TPMS malfunction
indicator illuminates, but if the FrontRight, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is
under-inflated, the low tire pressure
position telltales may illuminatetogether with the TPMS malfunction
indicator.
Have the system checked by an
authorized KIA dealer as soon as
possible to determine the cause of
the problem.
WARNING - Low pressure
damage
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased brakingdistances.
Continued driving on low pres- sure tires can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.CAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if thevehicle is moving around elec-tric power supply cables orradios transmitter such as atpolice stations, government and public offices, broadcast-ing stations, military installa-tions, airports, or transmittingtowers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of the Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).
The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if snowchains are used or some sep-arate electronic devices such as notebook computer, mobilecharger, remote starter or nav-igation etc., are used in thevehicle. This can interfere with normal operation of the TirePressure Monitoring System(TPMS).
