airbag system checked as soon as
possible. Otherwise, your airbag
system may be ineffective.

nance or repair

bly seriously injuring some-

deploy in a collision.
Any work on the airbag sys- tem, such as removing,
installing, or repairing the
steering wheel must be per-
formed by a qualified Kia tech-
nician. Improper handling of
the airbag system including
the steering wheel may result
in serious personal injury or

Programming
Your vehicle may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the ACC posi-
tion for programming and/or opera-
tion of HomeLink. It is also recom-
mended that a new battery be
replaced in the hand-held transmitter
of the device being programmed to
HomeLink for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency.
Follow these steps to train your
HomeLink mirror: 1. When programming the buttons
for the first time, press and hold
the left and center buttons ( , ) simultaniously until the
indicator light begins to flash after
approximately 20 seconds. (This
procedure erases the factory-set
default codes. Do Not perform this
step to program additional hand-
held transmitters.)
