Record your key number

The key code number is

stamped on the tag

attached to the key set.

Should you lose your

keys, this number will

enable an authorized KIA dealer to dupli-

cate the keys easily. Remove the tag and

store it in a safe place. Also, record the

code number and keep it in a safe place

(not in the vehicle).

KEYS

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.

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.

Immobilizer system (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with an

electronic engine immobilizer system to

reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle

use.

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 that the igni-

tion 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.

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.

To deactivate the immobilizer sys-

tem:

Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-

der and turn it to the ON position.

✽✽

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 separately in order to avoid a start-

ing malfunction.

CAUTION

Do not put metal accessories near

the ignition switch.

Metal accessories may interrupt the

transponder signal and may pre-

vent the engine from being started.

WARNING

In order to prevent theft of your

vehicle, do not leave spare keys or

your key number anywhere in the

vehicle. The ignition key and key

number are unique to your vehicle,

and therefore, should be kept confi-

dential.

Limp home (override) procedure

When you turn the ignition switch to the

ON position, if the immobilizer indicator

( ) goes off after blinking 5 times,

your transponder equipped in the ignition

key is out of order. You cannot start the

engine without the limp home procedure.

To start the engine, you have to input

your password by using the ignition

switch. Your password is only available

from an authorized KIA dealership.

Contact an authorized dealer for more

information.

The following procedure is how to input

your password of “2345” as an example.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-

tion. The immobilizer indicator ( )

will blink 5 times and go off indicating

the beginning of the limp home proce-

dure.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC

position.

3. To enter the first digit (in this example

“2”), turn the ignition switch to the ON

and ACC position twice. Perform the

same procedure for the next digits

between 3 seconds and 10 seconds

(for example, for “3”, turn the ignition

ON and ACC 3 times).

4. If all of the digits have been input suc-

cessfully, you have to start the engine

within 30 seconds. If you attempt to

start the engine after 30 seconds, the

engine will not start and you will have

to input your password again.

After performing the limp home proce-

dure, you have to see an authorized KIA

dealer immediately to inspect and repair

your ignition key or immobilizer system.

• Do not get back into a vehicle

once you have begun refueling

since you can generate static

electricity by touching, rubbing

or sliding against any item or fab-

ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)

capable of producing static elec-

tricity. Static electricity discharge

can ignite fuel vapors resulting in

rapid burning. If you must re-

enter the vehicle, you should

once again eliminate potentially

dangerous static electricity dis-

charge by touching a metal part

of the vehicle, away from the fuel

filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-

line source.

• When using an approved

portable fuel container, be sure to

place the container on the

ground prior to refueling. Static

electricity discharge from the

container can ignite fuel vapors

causing a fire. Once refueling has

begun, contact with the vehicle

should be maintained until the

filling is complete.

WARNING - Refueling dan-

gers

Automotive fuels are flammable

materials. When refueling, please

note the following guidelines care-

fully. Failure to follow these guide-

lines may result in severe personal

injury, severe burns or death by fire

or explosion.

• Read and follow all warnings

posted at the gas station facility.

• Before refueling, note the loca-

tion of the Emergency Gasoline

Shut-Off, if available, at the gas

station facility.

• Before touching the fuel nozzle,

you should eliminate potentially

dangerous static electricity dis-

charge by touching another metal

part of the vehicle, a safe dis-

tance away from the fuel filler

neck, nozzle, or other gas source.

(Continued)

Use only approved portable plas-

tic fuel containers designed to

carry and store gasoline.

• Do not use cellular phones while

refueling. Electric current and/or

electronic interference from cel-

lular phones can potentially

ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.

• When refueling, always shut the

engine off. Sparks produced by

electrical components related to

the engine can ignite fuel vapors

causing a fire. Once refueling is

complete, check to make sure the

filler cap and filler door are

securely closed, before starting

the engine.

• DO NOT use matches or a lighter

and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit

cigarette in your vehicle while at

a gas station especially during

refueling. Automotive fuel is

highly flammable and can, when

ignited, result in fire.

HomeLink® Wireless Control System

Your new mirror comes with an integrat-

ed HomeLink Universal Transceiver,

which allows you to program the mirror to

activate your garage door(s), estate gate,

home lighting, etc. The mirror actually

learns the codes from your various exist-

ing transmitters.

Retain the original transmitter for future

programming procedures (i.e., new vehi-

cle purchase). It is also suggested that

upon the sale of the vehicle, the pro-

grammed HomeLink buttons 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 position

for programming and/or operation of

HomeLink. It is also recommended that a

new battery be replaced in the hand-held

transmitter of the device being pro-

grammed to HomeLink for quicker train-

ing and accurate transmission of the

radio-frequency.

Follow these steps to train your

HomeLink mirror:

WARNING

• When programming the

HomeLink® Wireless Control

System, you may be operating a

garage door or gate operator.

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 manu-

factured 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

Features of your vehicle

The rear parking assist system assists

the driver during backward movement of

the vehicle by chiming if any object is

sensed within a distance of 120 cm (47

in.) behind the vehicle.

This system is a supplemental system

and it is not intended to nor does it

replace the need for extreme care and

attention of the driver. The sensing range

and objects detectable by the back sen-

sors are limited. Whenever backing-up,

pay as much attention to what is behind

you as you would in a vehicle without a

rear parking assist system.

matter, such as snow or water, or the

sensor cover is blocked. (It will operate

normally when the material is removed

or the sensor is no longer blocked.)

3. Driving on uneven road surfaces

(unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, gradi-

ent).

4. Objects generating excessive noise

(vehicle horns, loud motorcycle

engines, or truck air brakes) are within

range of the sensor.

5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.

6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones

are within range of the sensor.

7. The sensor is covered with snow.

8. Trailer towing

The detecting range may decrease

when:

1. The sensor is stained with foreign mat-

ter such as snow or water. (The sens-

ing range will return to normal when

removed.)

2. Outside air temperature is extremely

hot or cold.

The following objects may not be rec-

ognized by the sensor:

1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes,

chains or small poles.

2. Objects which tend to absorb the sen-

sor frequency such as clothes, spongy

material or snow.

3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m

NOTICE

This system can only sense objects with-

in the range and location of the sensors;

It can not detect objects in other areas

where sensors are not installed. Also,

small or slim objects, such as poles or

objects located between sensors may not

be detected by the sensors.

Always visually check behind the vehi-

cle when backing up.

Be sure to inform any drivers of the

vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the

system regarding the systems capabili-

ties and limitations.

Self-diagnosis

If you don’t hear an audible warning

sound or if the buzzer sounds intermit-

tently when shifting the gear to the R

(Reverse) position, this may indicate a

malfunction in the rear parking assist sys-

tem. If this occurs, have your vehicle

checked by an authorized KIA dealer as

soon as possible.

WARNING

Pay close attention when the vehi-

cle is driven close to objects on the

road, particularly pedestrians, and

especially children. Be aware that

some objects may not be detected

by the sensors, due to the object’s

distance, size or material, all of

which can limit the effectiveness of

the sensor. Always perform a visu-

al inspection to make sure the vehi-

cle is clear of all obstructions

before moving the vehicle in any

direction.

intake control to the recirculated air

position. Be sure to return the control

to the fresh air position when the irrita-

tion has passed to keep fresh air in the

alert and comfortable.

• Air for the heating/cooling system is

drawn in through the grilles just ahead

of the windshield. Care should be

taken that these are not blocked by

leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.

• To prevent interior fog on the wind-

shield, set the air intake control to the

Features of your vehicle

✽✽

NOTICE

• When using the air conditioning sys-

tem, monitor the temperature gauge

closely while driving up hills or in

heavy traffic when outside tempera-

tures are high. Air conditioning sys-

tem operation may cause engine over-

heating. Continue to use the blower

fan but turn the air conditioning sys-

tem off if the temperature gauge indi-

cates engine overheating.

• When opening the windows in humid

weather air conditioning may create

water droplets inside the vehicle.

Since excessive water droplets may

cause damage to electrical equipment,

air conditioning should only be used

with the windows closed.

Air conditioning system operation tips

• If the vehicle has been parked in direct

sunlight during hot weather, open the

windows for a short time to let the hot

air inside the vehicle escape.

• To help reduce moisture inside of the

windows on rainy or humid days,

decrease the humidity inside the vehi-

cle by operating the air conditioning

system.

• During air conditioning system opera-

tion, you may occasionally notice a

slight change in engine speed as the

air conditioning compressor cycles.

This is a normal system operation

characteristic.

• Use the air conditioning system every

month only for a few minutes to ensure

maximum system performance.

• When using the air conditioning sys-

tem, you may notice clear water drip-

ping (or even puddling) on the ground

under the passenger side of the vehi-

cle. This is a normal system operation

characteristic.

• Operating the air conditioning system

in the recirculated air position provides

maximum cooling, however, continual

operation in this mode may cause the

air inside the vehicle to become stale.

• During cooling operation, you may

occasionally notice a misty air flow

because of rapid cooling and humid air

intake. This is a normal system opera-

tion characteristic.

Climate control air filter

(if equipped)

The climate control air filter installed

behind the glove box filters the dust or

other pollutants that come into the vehi-

cle from the outside through the heating

and air conditioning system. If dust or

other pollutants accumulate in the filter

over a period of time, the air flow from the

air vents may decrease, resulting in

moisture accumulation on the inside of

the windshield even when the outside

(fresh) air position is selected. If this hap-

pens, inspect and replace the climate

control air filter. (Refer to “climate control

air filter” in section 7.)

If you’re unsure about replacing proce-

dure, have it done by an authorized KIA

dealer.

✽✽

NOTICE

• Replace the filter according to the

Maintenance Schedule.

If the vehicle is being driven in severe

conditions such as dusty or rough

roads, more frequent air conditioner

filter inspections and changes are

required.

• When the air flow rate suddenly

decreases, the system should be

checked at an authorized KIA dealer.

Checking the amount of air con-

ditioner refrigerant and compres-

sor lubricant

When the amount of refrigerant is low,

the performance of the air conditioning is

reduced. Overfilling also has a negative

impact on the air conditioning system.

Therefore, if abnormal operation is

found, have the system inspected by an

authorized KIA dealer.

✽✽

NOTICE

It is important that the correct type and

amount of oil and refrigerant is used.

Otherwise, damage to the compressor

and abnormal system operation may

occur.

WARNING

The air conditioning system should

be serviced by an authorized KIA

dealer. Improper service may cause

serious injury to the person per-

forming the service.

How vehicle audio works

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast

from transmitter towers located around

your city. They are intercepted by the

radio antenna on your vehicle.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 pos-

sible quality reproduction. However, in

some cases the signal coming to your

vehicle may not be strong and clear. This

can be due to factors such as the dis-

tance from the radio station, closeness of

other strong radio stations or the pres-

ence of buildings, bridges or other large

obstructions in the area.

AM broadcasts can be received at

greater distances than FM broadcasts.

This is because AM radio waves are

transmitted at low frequencies. These

long, low frequency radio waves can fol-

low the curvature of the earth rather than

travelling straight out into the atmos-

phere. In addition, they curve around

obstructions so that they can provide bet-

ter signal coverage.

OXM049195N

Features of your vehicle

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 at

short distances from the station. Also,

FM signals are easily affected by build-

ings, mountains, or other obstructions.

These can result in certain listening con-

ditions which might lead you to believe a

problem exists with your radio. The fol-

lowing 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 trans-

mitter and your radio can disturb the

signal causing static or fluttering nois-

es to occur. Reducing the treble level

may lessen this effect until the distur-

bance clears.

• Station Swapping - As a FM signal

weakens, another more powerful sig-

nal near the same frequency may

begin to play. This is because your

radio is designed to lock onto the clear-

est signal. If this occurs, select another

station with a stronger signal.

• Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals

being received from several directions

can cause distortion or fluttering. This

can be caused by a direct and reflect-

ed signal from the same station, or by

signals from two stations with close

frequencies. If this occurs, select

another station until the condition has

passed.

Satellite radio reception

You may experience difficulties in receiv-

ing SIRIUS satellite radio signals in the

following situations.

• If you are driving in a tunnel or a cov-

ered parking area.

• If you are driving beneath the top level

of a multi-level freeway.

• If you drive under a bridge.

• If you are driving next to a tall vehicle

(such as a truck or a bus) that blocks

the signal.

• If you are driving in a valley where the

surrounding hills or peaks block the

signal from the satellite.

• If you are driving on a mountain road

where is the signal blocked by moun-

tains.

• If you are driving in an area with tall

trees that block the signal (30 ft. / 10m

or more), for example on an road that

goes through a dense forest.

• The signal can become weak in some

areas that are not covered by the

SIRIUS repeater network.

There may be other unforeseen cir-

cumstances leading to reception

problems with the SIRIUS satellite

radio signal.

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 equipment. This does not mean

that something is wrong with the audio

equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-

lar phone at a place as far as possible

from the audio equipment.

Care of disc

• If the temperature inside the car is too

high, open the car windows for ventilation

before using your car audio.

• 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 ana-

logue disc onto CDs.

• To prevent the disc surface from get-

ting damaged. Hold and carry CDs by

the edges or the edges of 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

onto it.

• Make sure on undesirable matter other

than CDs are inserted 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.

• Depending on the type of CD-R/CD-

RW CDs, certain CDs may not operate

normally according to manufacturing

companies or making and recording

methods. In such circumstances, if you

still continue to use those CDs, they

may cause the malfunction of your car

audio system.

Satellite radio channels:

SIRIUS Satellite Radio has over 130 chan-

nels, including 69 channels of 100% com-

mercial-free music, plus sports, news, talk

and entertainment available nationwide in

your vehicle. For more information and a

complete list of SIRIUS Satellite Radio

channels, visit sirius.com in the United

States, sirius-canada.ca in Canada, or call

SIRIUS at 1-888-539-7474.

Satellite radio reception factors:

To receive the satellite signal, your vehi-

cle has been equipped with a satellite

radio antenna located on the roof of your

vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the

best location for an unobstructed, open

view of the sky, a requirement of a satel-

lite radio system. Like AM/FM, there are

several factors that can affect satellite

radio reception performance:

• Antenna obstructions: For optimal

reception performance, keep the

antenna clear of snow and ice build-up

and keep luggage and other material

as far away from the antenna as possi-

ble.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings,

bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses,

parking garages, dense tree foliage

and thunderstorms can interfere with

your reception.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio service:

SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a subscription-

based satellite radio service that broad-

casts music, sports, news and entertain-

ment programming to radio receivers,

which are available for installation in

motor vehicles or factory installed, as

well as for the home, portable and wire-

less devices, and through an Internet

connection on personal computer.

Vehicles that are equipped with a factory

installed SIRIUS Satellite Radio system

include:

• Hardware and an introductory trial sub-

scription term, which begins on the

date of sale or lease of the vehicle.

• For a small upgrade fee, access to

SIRIUS music channels, and other

select channels over the Internet using

any computer connected to the

Internet (U.S. customers only).

For information on extended subscrip-

tion terms, contact SIRIUS at 1-888-

539-7474.

NOTE:

Satellite Radio requires SIRIUS

com-

patible receiver and a subscription serv-

ice fee after trial period.

Vehicles without a factory-installed

radio receiver require hardware pur-

chase and installation. Please see your

dealer for further details. All fees and

programming subject to change.

Subscriptions governed by the SIRIUS

Terms & Conditions available at

www
