KEYSThe key 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 number
and keep it in a safe and handy place, but
not in the vehicle.Your vehicle has two master keys and a
sub key. The master key will open all
locks on your vehicle.
The sub key will only function in the
ignition and the door locks.Leaving your sub key with a parking
attendant will ensure that your vehicle’s
trunk, trunk lid release, glove box

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.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
3-46NOISE AND SMOKEWhen the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bags inflate, you may feel
substantial discomfort in breathing due
both to the contact by your chest with
both the safety belt and the air bag, as
well as from breathing the smoke and
powder.
We strongly urge you to open your
doors and/or windows as promptly as
possible after impact in order to
reduce discomfort and prevent
prolonged exposure to the smoke and
powder.
WARNING - Hot Metal
Parts
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag inflators in the steering
wheel and/or in the dashboard
are very hot. To prevent injury,
do not touch the air bag storage
area’s internal components
immediately after an air bag has
inflated.
