KeysThe key code number is stamped into the plate
attached to the key set. If you should lose your keys,
this number will enable an Authorized Kia Dealer to
duplicate the keys easily. Remove the plate and store it
in a safe place. Also, record the code number and keep
it in a safe and handy place, but not in the vehicle.Knowing Your Vehicle3-2
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 unsuper-
vised children.

CAUTION
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 current in the
wiring.
