Features of your vehicle

Smart key immobilizer system
Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic immobilizer system to reduce
the risk of unauthorized vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
smart key and electronic devices
inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, when-
ever you turn the POWER button to
the ON position by pressing the but-
ton while carrying the smart key, it
checks and determines and verifies if
the smart key is valid or not.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the vehicle will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the vehicle will not start.
To deactivate the immobilizersystem:
Turn the POWER button to the ON
position by pressing the button while
carrying the smart key.
To activate the immobilizer system:
Turn the POWER button to the OFF
position. The immobilizer system
activates automatically. Without a
valid smart key for your vehicle, the
vehicle will not start.
In order to prevent theft of your vehi-
cle, do not leave spare keys anywhere
in your vehicle. Your Immobilizer pass-
word is a customer unique password
and should be kept confidential. Do
not leave this number anywhere in
your vehicle.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When starting the vehicle, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys
around. Otherwise the vehicle may
not start or may stop soon after it
starts. Keep each key separate in
order to avoid a starting malfunction.
Do not put metal accessories near
the smart key.
The vehicle may not start because
the metal accessories may interrupt
the transponder signal from transmit-
ting normally.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose
your keys, contact an authorized
Kia dealer.
CAUTION- Immobilizer
damage
Do not expose your immobilizersystem to moisture, static elec-tricity and rough handling. Thismay damage your immobilizer.
CAUTION- Immobilizer
alterations
Do not change, alter or adjustthe immobilizer system becauseit could cause the immobilizersystem to malfunction.

✽
✽NOTICE
After the POWER button has been
turned off, the EPB (Electronic
Parking Brake) cannot be released.
Shift lock system
For your safety, the reduction gear
has a shift lock system which pre-
vents shifting the gear from P (Park)
or N (Neutral) into R (Reverse)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the gear from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) into R (Reverse) or from D
(Drive) into R (Reverse) :
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the vehicle or turn the
POWER button to the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
You can change the gearshift from N or
D to R, only when the break is in ON
and vehicle speed is less than 7 Km/h
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chat-
tering noise near the shift lever may
be heard. This is a normal condition. Shiftlock function will activate when
the gear is changed from N to R.
Before chaning the gear from N to R,
the driver must step on the brake
after the vehicle has come to a full
stop. Then, while pressing down on
the brake pedal, press onto the lock
release button.
❈
This function is to prevent any
reduction gear damage which may
occur if the driver locks the gear
while the vehicle is in motion.WARNING- Shifting from
park
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and while shifting
out of the P (Park) position into
another position to avoid inad-
vertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in
or around the vehicle.WARNING
With the exception of parking in neutral gear, always park
the vehicle in [P] (Park) for
safety and apply the parking
brake.
Before parking in [N] (Neutral) gear, make sure the parking
ground is level and flat. Do not
park in [N] gear on any slopes
or gradients.
If parked and left in [N], the
vehicle may move and cause
serious damage or injury.

The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’
sound from the brakes, or feel a cor-
responding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means
your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit from your ABS in an emergency
situation, do not attempt to modulate
your brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Press your brake
pedal as hard as possible or as hard
as the situation allows the ABS to
control the force being delivered to
the brakes.✽ ✽
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
motor compartment when the vehi-
cle begins to move after the vehicle is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the anti-lock brake
system is functioning properly.
Even with the anti-lock brake sys-
tem, your vehicle still requires suf-
ficient stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
Always slow down when cornering. The anti-lock brake system cannot
prevent accidents resulting from
excessive speeds.
On loose or uneven road surfaces, operation of the anti-lock brake
system may result in a longer stop-
ping distance than for vehicles
equipped with a conventional
brake system. The ABS warning light will stay on for
approximately 3 seconds after the
POWER button is ON. During that
time, the ABS will go through self-
diagnosis and the light will go off if
everything is normal. If the light stays
on, you may have a problem with
your ABS. Contact an authorized Kia
dealer as soon as possible.

Malfunction indicator
The VSM can be deactivated even if
you don’t cancel the VSM operation
by pressing the ESC OFF button. It
indicates that a malfunction has
been detected somewhere in the
Electric Power Steering system or
VSM system. If the ESC indicator
light ( ) or EPS warning light
remains on, take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer and have the
system checked.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 13 mph (22
km/h) on curves.
• The VSM is designed to function above approximately 6 mph (10
km/h) when a vehicle is braking on
a split-mu road. The split-mu road
is made of surfaces which have dif-
ferent friction forces.
The Vehicle Stability Management
system is not a substitute for safe
driving practices but a supplemen-
tary function only. It is the respon-
sibility of the driver to always check
the speed and the distance to the
vehicle ahead. Always hold the
steering wheel firmly while driving.
Your vehicle is designed to activate according to the driver’s intention,
even with installed VSM. Always
follow all the normal precautions
for driving at safe speeds for the
conditions – including driving in
clement weather and on a slippery
road.Hill-start assist control (HAC)
A vehicle has the tendency to roll
back on a steep hill when it starts to
go after stopping. The Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC) prevents the
vehicle from rolling back by applying
the brakes automatically for about 2
seconds. The brakes are released
when the accelerator pedal is
depressed or after about 2 seconds.
The HAC is activated only for about 2
seconds, so when the vehicle is
starting off always depress the accel-
erator pedal.
