Battery replacementTransmitter uses a 3 volt lithium bat-
tery which will normally last for sever-
al years. When replacement is neces-
sary, use the following procedure.1. Insert a slim tool into the slot and
gently pry open the transmitter
center cover (
➀).
2. Replace the battery with new one. When replacing the battery, make
sure the battery positive “+” sym-
bol faces up (type A) or faces
down (type B) as indicated in the
illustration.
3. Install the battery in the reverse order of removal.
✽ ✽NOTICEThe keyless entry system transmit-
ter is designed to give you years of
troublefree use, however it can mal-
function if exposed to moisture or
static electricity. If you are unsure
how to use your transmitter or
replace the battery, contact an
authorized Kia dealer. For replacement transmitters, see an
Authorized Kia Dealer for reprogram-
ming.

Power windows (if equipped)
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls that door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side window
open, you should open the opposite
window slightly to reduce the condi-
tion.✽ ✽
NOTICETo prevent the power window sys-
tem from the possibility of damage,
do not open or close two windows at
the same time. This will also ensure
the longevity of the fuse.
Manual windows (if equipped)Use the window crank to open and
close each window.
CAUTION
Make sure heads and hands
are safely out of the way
before closing a window.
Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keep
the driver’s door power win-
dow lock switch in the LOCK
position (depressed). Serious
injury can result from uninten-
tional window operation by
the child.
Do not extend face or arms outside through the window
opening while driving.
Always double check to make sure all arms, hands and other
obstructions are safely out of
the way before closing a win-
dow.

WARNING
Driving or riding in a vehicle
with a front seatback reclined
could lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. If a front
seat is reclined during an acci-
dent, the occupant’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of
the safety belt applying great
force to the unprotected
abdomen or neck. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could
result. Keep the seatbacks in a
comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in
motion.

high as your ears. Also adjust the
headrest so its distance from the
head is as wide as your fist.
