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.
