WARNING - Ignition key

Leaving children unattended in a

vehicle with the ignition key is dan-

gerous even if the key is not in the

ignition switch. Children copy

adults and they could place the key

in the ignition switch. The ignition

key would enable children to oper-

ate power windows or other con-

trols, or even make the vehicle

move, which could result in serious

bodily injury or even death. Never

leave the keys in your vehicle with

unsupervised children.

Key operations

Used to start the engine, lock and unlock

the doors.

Record your key number

The key code number is stamped on the

bar code tag attached to the key set.

Should you lose your keys, this number

will enable an authorized KIA dealer to

duplicate the keys easily. Remove the bar

code tag and store it in a safe place. Also,

record the code number and keep it in a

safe place (not in the vehicle).

WARNING

Type B

To unfold the key, press the release but-

ton then the key will unfold automatically.

Use only KIA original parts for the

ignition key in your vehicle. If an

aftermarket key is used, the ignition

switch may not return to ON after

START. If this happens, the starter

will continue to operate causing

damage to the starter motor and

possible fire due to excessive cur-

rent in the wiring.

To fold the key, fold the key manually

while pressing the release button.

CAUTION

Do not fold the key without press-

ing the release button. This may

damage the key.

Immobilizer system (if equipped)

WARNING

In order to prevent theft of your

vehicle, do not leave spare keys

anywhere in your vehicle. Your

Immobilizer password is a cus-

tomer unique password and should

be kept confidential. Do not leave

this number anywhere in your vehi-

cle.

Your vehicle may be equipped with an

electronic engine immobilizer system to

reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle

use.

CAUTION

The transponder in your ignition

key is an important part of the

immobilizer system. It is designed

to give years of trouble-free service,

however you should avoid expo-

sure to moisture, static electricity

and rough handling. Immobilizer

system malfunction could occur.

Your immobilizer system is comprised of

a small transponder in the ignition key

and electronic devices inside the vehicle.

With the immobilizer system, whenever

you insert your ignition key into the igni-

tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks

and determines and verifies if the ignition

key is valid or not.

✽

NOTICE

When starting the engine, do not use the

key with other immobilizer keys around.

Otherwise the engine may not start or

may stop soon after it starts. Keep each

key separate in order to avoid a starting

malfunction.

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

Do not change, alter or adjust the

immobilizer system because it

could cause the immobilizer sys-

tem to malfunction and should only

be serviced by an authorized KIA

dealer.

To deactivate the immobilizer sys-

tem:

CAUTION

Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-

der and turn it to the ON position.

Do not put metal accessories near

the ignition switch. Metal acces-

sories may interrupt the transpon-

der signal and may prevent the

engine from being started.

Malfunctions caused by improper

alterations, adjustments or modifi-

cations to the immobilizer system

are not covered by your vehicle

manufacturer warranty.

To activate the immobilizer system:

Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.

The immobilizer system activates auto-

matically. Without a valid ignition key for

your vehicle, the engine will not start.
