WARNING - Ignition key

(smart key)

Leaving children unattended in a

vehicle with the Ignition key (smart

key) is dangerous even if the key is

not in the ignition switch or start

button is ACC or ON position.

Children copy adults and they could

place the key in the ignition switch

or press the start button. The

Ignition key (smart key) would

enable children to operate power

windows or other controls, 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 chil-

dren, when the engine is running.

Immobilizer system (if equipped)

To remove the mechanical key, press and

hold the release button and remove the

mechanical key.

Your vehicle may be equipped with an

electronic engine immobilizer system to

reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle

use.

To reinstall the mechanical key, put the

key into the hole and push it until a click

sound is heard.

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.

WARNING

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.

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.
