switch.
• You exceed the operating distance limit (10 m [about 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, con-
tact an authorized Kia dealer. (Continued)(Continued)
• If the transmitter is in close prox-
imity to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the trans-
mitter could be blocked by normal
operation of your cell phone or
smart phone. This is especially
important when the phone is
active such as making call, receiv-
ing calls, text messaging, and/or
sending/receiving emails. Avoid
placing the transmitter and your
cell phone or smart phone in the
same pants or jacket pocket and
maintain adequate distance
between the two devices.

Features of your vehicle
Retain the original transmitter for
future programming procedures (i.e.,
new vehicle purchase). It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehi-
cle, the programmed HomeLink
®but-
tons be erased for security purposes
(follow step 1 in the “Programming”
portion of this text).
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 ( ,
) simultaneously until the indicator
light begins to flash after approxi-
mately 20 seconds. (This proce-
dure erases the factory-set default
codes. Do not perform this step to
program additional hand-held
transmitters.)
WARNING
When programming theHomeLink®Wireless Control
System, you may be operating
a garage door or gate opera-
tor. Make sure that people and
objects are out of the way of
the moving door or gate to
prevent potential harm or
damage.
Do not use HomeLink® with any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and
reverse feature as required by
federal safety standards. (This
includes any garage door
opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot
detect an object, signaling the
door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without
these features increases risk
of serious injury or death. For
more information, call 1-800-
355-3515 or on the internet at
www.homelink
®.com.

How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. 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 possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear.

FM reception

Features of your vehicle

AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre-
quencies. These long distance,low
frequency radio waves can follow the
curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight. In addition, they
curve around obstructions resulting
in 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 within short distances
from the station. short distances from
the station. Also, FM signals are eas-
ily affected by buildings, mountains,
and obstructions. This can lead to
undesirable or unpleasant listening
conditions which might lead you to
believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following 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 you select another
stronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this
effect until the disturbance clears.

Features of your vehicle
Station Swapping - As an FM sig-nal weakens, another more power-
ful signal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,
select another station with a
stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from sever-
al directions can cause distortion
or fluttering. This can be caused by
a direct and reflected signal from
the same station, or by signals
from two stations with close fre-
quencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition
has passed.
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 system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possi-
ble.
Caring for disc
If the temperature inside the car is too high, open the car windows to venti-
late before using the system.
It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA files without permission.
Use CDs that are created only by
lawful means.
Do not apply volatile agents, such as benzene and thinner, normal
cleaners and magnetic sprays
made for analogue disc onto CDs.
To prevent the disc surface from getting damaged, hold CDs by the
edges or the center hole only.
Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe
it from the center to the outside
edge).
Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or
paper.
Make certain only CDs are insert- ed into the CD player (Do not insert
more than one CD at a time).
Keep CDs in their cases after use to protect them from scratches or dirt.
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.
JBM005CAUTION
When using a communication
system such as a cellular phoneor a radio set inside the vehicle,a separate external antennamust be fitted. When a cellularphone or a radio set is usedwith an internal antenna alone,it may interfere with the vehi-cle's electrical system andadversely affect safe operationof the vehicle.

USING THE USB DEVICE
To use an external USB device,make sure the device is not con-
nected when starting up the
vehicle. Connect the device after
starting up.
If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may
damage the USB device. (USB
flashdrives are very sensitive to
electric shock.)
If the engine is started up or turned off while the external USB
device is connected, the external
USB device may not work.
The System may not play unau- thenticated MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate
between 8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression
rate between 8Kbps ~
320Kbps.
Take precautions for static elec- tricity when connecting or discon-
necting the external USB device.
(Continued)(Continued)
An encrypted MP3 PLAYER is
not recognizable.
Depending on the condition of the external USB device, the
connected external USB device
can be unrecognizable.
When the formatted byte/sector setting of External USB device is
not either 512BYTE or
2048BYTE, then the device will
not be recognized.
Use only a USB device format- ted to FAT 12/16/32.
USB devices without USB I/F authentication may not be recog-
nizable.
Make sure the USB connection terminal does not come in con-
tact with the human body or
other objects.
If you repeatedly connect or dis- connect the USB device in a
short period of time, it may break
the device.
(Continued)(Continued)
You may hear a strange noise
when connecting or disconnect-
ing a USB device.
If you disconnect the external USB device during playback in
USB mode, the external USB
device can be damaged or may
malfunction. Therefore, discon-
nect the external USB device
when the audio is turned off or in
another mode. (e.g, Radio, CD)
Depending on the type and capacity of the external USB
device or the type of the files
stored in the device, there is a
difference in the time taken for
recognition of the device.
Do not use the USB device for purposes other than playing
music files.
Playing videos through the USB is not supported.
Use of USB accessories such as rechargers or heaters using USB
I/F may lower performance or
cause trouble.
