Knowing your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
to reduce the risk of unauthorized
vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
ignition key, and antenna coil in the
key cylinder and BCM (Body Control
Module) in the instrument panel.
With this system, whenever you
insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, the
antenna coil in the ignition switch
receives a signal from the transpon-
der in the ignition key and then sendsthe signal to the BCM (Body controlModule).
The BCM checks the signal 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 posi-tion.
To activate the immobilizer sys- tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi-
tion. The immobilizer system acti-
vates automatically. Without a valid
ignition key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition
key is an important part of theimmobilizer system. It is designed to give years of trou-blefree service, however youshould avoid exposure to mois- ture, static electricity and roughhandling. Immobilizer systemmalfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjustthe immobilizer system becauseit could cause the immobilizer system to malfunction andshould only be serviced by anauthorized Kia dealer. Malfunctions caused by improp-er alterations, adjustments ormodifications to the immobilizer system are not covered by yourvehicle manufacturer warranty.

Knowing your vehicle
Airbags may not inflate if the vehi-cle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees, where the
point of impact is concentrated to
one area and the full force of the
impact is not delivered to the sen-
sors. How does the airbag system operate
Airbag only operates when the
ignition switch is turned to ON or
START position.
Airbags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side col-lision (if equipped with side airbag
or curtain airbag) in order to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the airbags will inflate.
Generally, airbags are designed to
inflate by the severity of a collision
and its direction. These two factors
determine whether the sensors
send out an electronic deploy-ment/inflation signal. Airbag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehiclespeed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. Though, factorsare not limited to those mentioned
above.
The front airbags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the airbags inflate during an
accident. It is much more likely that
you will simply see the deflatedairbags hanging out of their stor-
age compartments after the colli-sion.
