eral years. When replacement is
necessary, use the following proce-
dure.
1. Insert a slim tool into the slot andgently pry open the transmitter
center cover (
➀).
2. Replace the battery with new one. When replacing the battery, make
sure the battery positive “+” sym-
bol faces up as indicated in the
illustration.
3. Install the battery in the reverse order of removal.
✽ ✽NOTICE• The keyless entry system trans-
mitter is designed to give you
years of troublefree use, however
it can malfunction if exposed to
moisture or static electricity. If
you are unsure how to use your
transmitter or replace the battery,
contact an authorized Kia dealer.
• For replacement transmitters, see an Authorized Kia Dealer for
reprogramming.
MMSA3068

Power windows The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls that door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side window
open, you should open the opposite
window slightly to reduce the condi-
tion.
✽ ✽NOTICETo prevent the power window sys-
tem 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.
CAUTION
Do not allow children to play
with the power windows. Keepthe driver’s door power win-dow lock switch in the LOCKposition (depressed). Seriousinjury can result from uninten-tional window operation bythe child.
Do not extend face or arms outside through the windowopening while driving.
Always double check to make sure all arms, hands and otherobstructions are safely out ofthe way before closing a win-dow

Recalling positions from memory1. Shift the transaxle lever into Pwhile the ignition switch is ON.
2. To recall the position in memory, press the desired memory button
(1 or 2) the system will beep once,
then seat and outside rearview
mirror will automatically adjust to
the stored positions.
Adjusting one of the control knobs for
the seat or outside rearview mirror
while the system is recalling the
stored positions will cause the move-
ment for that component to stop and
move in the direction that the control
knob is moved. Other components
will continue position recalling.
To stop the position recall at any
point in the recall process, press the
STOP button once. Seat and outside
rearview mirror position recalling will
stop.
Storing and recalling with
transmitterStoring with the transmitterTurn the ignition switch to LOCK from
ON and lock all the doors using the
transmitter. The seat and outside
rearview mirror positions will be
stored in the system memory.
Driver’ s position recalling with
transmitterUnlock the door with the transmitter,
positions stored in the system mem-
ory will be recalled automatically.
If using two transmitters, recalling
times may vary because stored posi-
tions in each transmitter may be dif-
ferent.
Example) If doors are locked with
transmitter A and unlocked with
transmitter B, the positions memo-
rized when unlocked with transmitter
B will be recalled and may take
slightly longer than if unlocked with
transmitter A.
CAUTION
Use caution when recalling adjustment memory while sittingin the vehicle. Press the STOPbutton immediately if the seatmoves too far in any direction.

Pre-tensioner seat beltYour vehicle is equipped with driver’s
and front passenger’s pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant’s body in certain frontal colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated alone or, together
with the airbags, where the frontal
collision is severe enough. The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration.
