kia, the company
Congratulations! Your selection of a Kia was a wise investment.
It will give you years of driving pleasure. Now that you are the
owner of a Kia vehicle, you’ll probably be asked a lot of questions about your vehicle and the company like “What is a Kia?”,
“Who is Kia?”, “What does ‘Kia’ mean?”.
Here are some answers. First, Kia is the oldest car company in
Korea. It is a company that has thousands of employees focused
on building high-quality vehicles at affordable prices.
The first syllable, Ki, in the word “Kia” means “to arise from to
the world” or “to come up out of to the world.” The second syllable, a, means “Asia.” So, the word Kia, means “to arise from”
or “to come up out of Asia to the world.”
Drive safely and enjoy your Kia!
i

WARNING — Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous even if the key is not
in the ignition. Children copy
adults and they could place the
key in the ignition. The ignition
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
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 hap-
pens, the starter will continue to
operate causing damage to the
starter motor and possible fire
due to excessive current in the
wiring.

Your vehicle is 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 antenna coil in the
key cylinder and Immobilizer unit in
the instrument panel.
With this system, whenever you
insert your ignition key into the ignition switch and turn it to ON, the
antenna coil in the ignition switch
receives a signal from the transponder in the ignition key and then sends
the signal to the Immobilizer unit.
The Immobilizer unit checks the signal and determines whether the ignition 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 deactivate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Insert the ignition key into the key
cylinder and turn it to the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. The immobilizer system activates automatically. Without a valid
ignition key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
✽
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 not
to have any malfunction after you
receive your new vehicle.

OHD046100
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories
near the key or ignition key.
The engine may not start for the
metal accessories may interrupt
the transponder signal from
normally transmitting.
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 vehicle.

lowing two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of

Limp home (override) procedure
When you turn the ignition key to the
ON position, if the IMMO indicator
remains on continuously after blinking 6 times, your transponder
equipped in the ignition key is out of
order. You cannot start the engine
without the lime home procedure. To
start the engine, you have to input
your password by using the ignition
switch.
The following procedure is how to
input your password of “2345” as an
example.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position. The IMMO indicator ( ) will
blink 6 times and remain on indicating the beginning of the limp home
procedure.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC
position.
3. To enter the first digit (in this
example “2”), turn the ignition key
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
successfully, you have to start the
engine within 10 seconds. If you
attempt to start the engine after 10
seconds, the engine will not start
and you will have to input your
password again.
After performing the limp home procedure, you have to see an authorized Kia dealer immediately to
inspect and repair your ignition key
or immobilizer system.
WARNING
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
CAUTION

The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls the door’s window. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition key is removed or turned
to the ACC or LOCK position.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the power windows cannot
be operated even within the 30 seconds after the ignition key removal.
While driving, if you notice buffeting
and pulsation (wind shock) with
either side window open, you should
open the opposite window slightly to
reduce the condition.
Window opening and closing
The driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the
windows in the vehicle.
To open or close a window, press
down or pull up the front portion of
the corresponding switch to the first
detent position (5).
Auto down window (if equipped)
(Driver’s window)
Depressing the power window switch
momentarily to the second detent
position (6) completely lowers the
driver’s window even when the
switch is released. To stop the window at the desired position while the
window is in operation, pull up the
switch momentarily to the opposite
direction of the window movement.
If the power window is not operated
correctly, the automatic power window system must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.

system from the possibility of
damage, do not open or close
two windows at the same time.
This will also ensure the
longevity of the fuse.
WARNING

are safely out of the way before
closing a window.
• Do not allow children to play
with the power windows. Keep
the driver’s door power window
lock switch in the LOCK position (depressed). Serious injury
can result from unintentional
window operation by the child.
• Do not extend face or arms out-
side through the window opening while driving.
•Always double check to make

obstructions are safely out of
the way before closing a window.

possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.
WARNING — Seating posi-
tion
• Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving.
This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death or serious injury.
• Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position
of the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with
proper locking of a seatback
could result in serious or fatal
injury in a sudden stop or col-
lision.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and the
lap portion of the safety belt,
is snug and low across the
hips. This puts your safety
belts in the best position to
protect you in case of an accident.
• In order to avoid unnecessary
airbag injuries including the
possibility of severe injury or
death, always sit as far back

Headrest adjustment
Adjusting the height up and down
The headrest not only provides comfort for the driver and passengers,
but also helps to protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button (2) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desired
position (3). For best protection,
adjust the headrest so its center is as

far as it can go then press the
release button (1) while pulling
upward (2).
Active headrest (if equipped)

rear impact. This helps to prevent the
driver’s and front passenger’s head
from moving backward and thus
helps prevent neck injuries.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of head and
neck injuries, do not drive the
vehicle with the headrest
removed or improperly positioned.
Do not adjust the driver’s head-
rest while driving.
