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.
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.

WARNING
No one should be allowed to
occupy the trunk of the vehicle
at any time. If the trunk is
partially or totally closed and
the person is unable to get out,
severe injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventilation,
fumes and rapid heat build-up,
or because of exposure due to
cold weather conditions. The
trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the event
of a crash because it is not a
protected occupant space. In
fact, it is part of the vehicle’s
crush zone.
