2006 KIA Optima air condition

This device complies with Industry
Canada Standard RSS-210.Operation
is subject to the following 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
the device.
LIMP HOME (OVERRIDE)
PROCEDUREWhen 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.

CAUTION
If you cannot start your engine in
spite of limp home procedure, have
your vehicle towed by an
authorized Kia dealer for
inspection and necessary repairs.

✻
NOTICE
• Both the driver’s and front
passenger’s pre-tensioner seat
belts will be activated in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be
activated alone or, where the
frontal collision is severe enough,
with the airbags. The pre-
tensioners will be activated
under these conditions even if
the seat belts are not being worn
at the time of the collision.
• When the pre-tensioner seat
belts are activated, a loud noise
may be heard and fine dust,
which may appear to be smoke,
may be visible in the passenger
compartment. This dust is not
hazardous.
• Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation
and should not be breathed for
prolonged periods. Wash your
hands and face thoroughly after
an accident in which the
pretensioner seat belts were
activated.
CAUTION
• Because the sensor that activates
the SRS airbag is connected with
pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS
airbag warning light on the
instrument panel will blink for
approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has turned to the
“ON” or “ACC” positions. After
the six second period, the air bag
warning light will turn off.
• Please have the SRS airbag
system and the pre-tensioner
system inspected by an
Authorized Kia Dealer if the
following conditions occur:
1. The SRS warning light does
not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to
“ON” or “ACC”.
2. When the ignition switch is
turned to “ON” or “ACC” the
SRS warning light stays lit
after blinking for
approximately 6 second.
3. The SRS warning light illum-
inates while the vehicle is being
driven.
AIR
BAG
WARNING
 Pre-tensioners are designed
to operate only one time.
After activation, pretensioner
seat belts must be replaced.
All seat belts, of any type,
should always be replaced
after they have been worn
during a collision.
 The Pre-tensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms
become hot during
activation. Do not touch the
pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several
minutes after they have been
activated.
 Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner
seat belts yourself. This
must be done by an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
 Do not strike the pre-
tensioner seat belt
assemblies.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
USING SAFETY BELTSThere are four very important reasons to
use safety belts even with an air bag
system, they:
• Help keep you in the proper position
(away from the air bag) when it
inflates.
• Reduce the risk of harm in rollover,
side or rear impact collisions,
because an air bag is not designed to
inflate in such situations.
• Reduce the risk of harm in frontal
collisions that are not severe enough
to activate the supplemental restraint
system.
• Reduce the risk of being thrown from
your vehicle.
WARNING - Air Bags &
Safety Belts
 Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers
must always wear the safety
belts provided in order to
minimize the risk and severity
of injury in the event of a
collision or rollover.
 Always wear your safety belt.
It can help keep you away
from the air bags during
heavy braking just before a
collision.
 Air bags are designed to
inflate only in severe frontal
collisions and will generally
not provide protection in side
or rear impacts, rollovers or
less severe frontal collisions.
They will also not provide
protection from later impacts
in a multi-impact collision.
 If your vehicle has been
subjected to flood conditions
(e.g. soaked carpeting/
standing water on the floor of
the vehicle, etc.) or if your
vehicle has become flood
damaged in any way, do not
attempt to start the vehicle or
put the key in the ignition
before disconnecting the
battery. This may cause air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal
injury or death. Have the
vehicle towed to an
Authorized Kia Dealer for
inspection and necessary
repairs.

DISC BRAKE WEAR
INDICATORSYour vehicle has front disc brakes.
When your front brake pads are worn
and it’s time for new pads, you will hear
a high-pitched warning sound from your
front brakes. You may hear this sound
intermittently or constantly.Some driving conditions or climates may
cause a brake squeal when you first
apply, or lightly apply, the brakes. This
is normal and does not indicate a
problem with your brakes.
4-15
Wet brakes may result in the
vehicle not slowing down at
the usual rate and/or
pulling to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have
been affected in this way.
Always test your brakes in
this fashion after driving
through deep water.
To dry the brakes, apply
them lightly while
maintaining a safe forward
speed until brake
performance returns to
normal.
WARNING - Brake Wear
This brake-wear warning sound
means your vehicle needs
service. If you ignore this
audible warning, you will
eventually lose braking
performance, which could lead
to a serious accident.
✻
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake
pads.

MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LIGHT
(IF EQUIPPED)The CHECK ENGINE or malfunction
indicator light is installed in your
vehicle’s instrument panel and responds
to signals from the vehicle’s On Board
Diagnostic (OBD -II) System. The OBD-
II System monitors the performance of the
vehicle’s Emission Control System
(ECS), which is designed to reduce the
amount of air pollutants in engine exhaust
to the levels required by government
regulations.
When you first start the engine, the check
engine light will illuminate briefly as a
system check to confirm that the OBD-II
System is operating properly. As the
engine starts, this light turns off.
However, if at any time the OBD-II
system detects a faulty signal or
determines that the ECS is not performing
to specification, the CHECK ENGINE
light will illuminate continuously or flash.
Continuously ON :If the CHECK ENGINE light comes ON
while driving and illuminates continuously,
a potential problem has been discovered in
the ECS or one of the exhaust system
components. Generally, the vehicle will
continue to be driveablebut it should
be checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer
as soon as possible. This condition is
unlikely to lead to engine damage unless
a decrease in vehicle power or poor
running conditions is immediately
apparent.
Flashing ON and OFF :If the CHECK ENGINE light begins to
flash ON and OFF, a more serious
problem with the ECS or exhaust system
component has been detected. If this
happens, and there is no degradation
to performance, the vehicle is still
driveable(avoid high speeds) but should
be checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer
at your earliest possible convenience. If
the flashing CHECK ENGINE light is
accompanied by a decrease in power or
poor running conditions, safely stop the
vehicle and immediately contact Kia
Roadside Assistance.
Note that the CHECK ENGINE light
will illuminate for a problem like a loose
or missing gas cap, but will not
illuminate as a result of low engine oil or
coolant, low automatic transaxle fluid or
engine overheating. The driver will be
alerted to these conditions by other
indicators on the instrument panel.
