Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the
air bags may not deploy. The air
bags are designed not to deploy in
such cases because they may not
provide benefits beyond the pro-
tection of the seat belts in such col-
lisions. Air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occu-
pants are moved backward by the
force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not be able
to provide any additional benefit. Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side
impacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-
pant protection.

Features of your vehicle
For replacement transmitters, see an
authorized Kia dealer for transmitter
reprogramming.
The transmitter is designed to giveyou years of trouble-free use, how-
ever it can malfunction if exposed to
moisture or static electricity. If you
are unsure how to use your trans-
mitter or replace the battery, contact
an authorized Kia dealer.
Using the wrong battery can cause the transmitter to malfunction. Be
sure to use the correct battery.
To avoid damaging the transmitter, don't drop it, get it wet, or expose it
to heat or sunlight.
An inappropriately dis- posed battery can be harm-
ful to the environment and
may cause harm to human
health. Dispose of the bat-
tery according to your local
law(s) or regulation.Immobilizer system
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
to reduce the risk of unauthorized
vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
ignition key and electronic devices
inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, when-
ever you insert your ignition key into
the ignition switch and turn it to ON,
the system verifies if 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.
CAUTION - Transmitter
damage
Do not drop, wet or expose the keyless entry system transmit-ter to heat or sunlight.

- The smart key is close to a radio transmitter such as a radio sta-
tion or an airport which can inter-
fere with normal operation of the
smart key.
- The smart key is near a mobile two way radio system or a cellu-
lar phone.

vehicle.
When the smart key does not work correctly, open and close the door
with the mechanical key and contact
an authorized Kia dealer. If the smart key is in close proximity
to your cell phone or smart phone,
the signal from the smart key could
