Disarmed stage
The system will be disarmed when
the doors are unlocked by depress-
ing the unlock button on the transmit-
ter or unlocked with the ignition key.
After depressing unlock button, the
hazard warning lights will blink twice
to indicate that the system is dis-
armed.
After depressing unlock button, if any
door is not opened within 30 sec-
onds, the system will be rearmed.
If the system is not disarmed with the
ignition key or transmitter, insert the
key in the ignition switch, turn the key
to the ON position and wait for 30
seconds. Then the system will be dis-
armed.Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehi-
cle use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised
of a small transponder in the ignition
key, and antenna coil in the key cylin-
der and Immobilizer Control Unit (or
Smartra Unit).
With this system, whenever you insert
your ignition key into the ignition
switch and turn it to ON, the antenna
coil in the ignition switch receives a
signal from the transponder in the
ignition key and then sends the signal
to the ECU (Engine Control Unit).
The ECU checks the signal whether
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.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust
the theft-alarm system becauseit could cause the theft-alarmsystem to malfunction andshould only be serviced by anauthorized Kia dealer.
Malfunctions caused by improp-er alterations, adjustments ormodifications to the theft-alarmsystem are not covered by yourvehicle manufacturer warranty.

The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls that door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition key is removed or turned
to the ACC or LOCK position.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the power windows cannot
be operated even within the 30 sec-
onds after the ignition key removal.✽ ✽NOTICE
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if
equipped) in an open (or partially
open) position, your vehicle may
demonstrate a wind buffeting or
pulsation noise. This noise is a nor-
mal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the follow-
ing actions. If the noise occurs with
one or both of the rear windows
down, partially lower both front
windows approximately one inch. If
you experience the noise with the
sunroof open, slightly reduce the
size of the sunroof opening.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• To prevent the power window sys-
tem from the possibility of dam-
age, do not open or close two win-
dows at the same time. This will
also ensure the longevity of the
fuse. (Continued)(Continued)
• Never try to operate the main
switch on the driver's door and the
individual door window switch in
opposing directions at the same
time. If this is done, the window
will stop and cannot be opened or
closed.
CAUTION - Windows
Always double check to make
sure all arms, hands, head andother obstructions are safelyout of the way before closing awindow.
Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keepthe driver’s door power win-dow lock switch in the LOCKposition (depressed). Seriousinjury can result from uninten-tional window operation bythe child.
Do not extend face or arms outside through the windowopening while driving.

Pre-tensioner safety belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
safety belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that excess
slack is taken up in certain frontal
collisions. The pre-tensioners may
activate along with the front airbags
in frontal collisions based on angle of
impact, seat belt usage and impact
severity.The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration.
➀ SRS airbag warning light
➁ Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
➂ SRS airbag control module
SAFETY BELTS
OED030300
CAUTION
The pre-tensioner seat belt is
installed at the front seats, andthe sensor is equipped insidethe buckle, where presence ofpassenger is sensed by the fas-tening of the seat belts.Therefore, pre-tensioner will notactivate if the passenger is notfastened with the seat belts.Likewise, it will activate if buck-led even without a passenger inthe seat. Pre-tensioner seat beltis designed to activate when theseatbelt is in use. To ensure thepretensioner seatbelts activatein event of a possible seatbeltbuckle switch malfunction, thesystem is designed to activateregardless of whether a seatbelt is in use or if no seat beltuse is detected within 6 sec-onds of turning the ignitionswitch ON.

How does the airbag system
operate
Airbags only operate when theignition switch is turned to the ON
or START positions.
Airbags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side col-
lision in order to help protect the
occupants from physical injury.
The airbag Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) is a small computer which
calculates the immediate impact
information and sends out a
deployment signal based on the
ECU's calculation of the likely
severity of the developing collision.
There is no single vehicle speed at which the airbags will inflate. Airbag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. However, fac-
tors are not limited to those men-
tioned above.
The front airbags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is impossible for you to see the
airbags inflate during an accident.
It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deflated airbags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision. In order to help provide protection
in a severe collision, the airbags
must inflate rapidly. The speed of
airbag inflation has been deter-
mined by the Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS)
to reduce the likelihood of serious
or life-threatening injuries and is
thus a mandatory part of the airbag
design.
However, airbag inflation can also
cause injuries which normally can
include facial abrasions, bruises
and broken bones, and sometimes
more serious injuries because that
inflation speed also causes the
airbags to expand with a great deal
force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the
steering wheel airbag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively close to the steering
wheel.
