Knowing your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
to reduce the risk of unauthorized
vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
ignition key, and antenna coil in the
key cylinder and BCM (Body Control
Module) in the instrument panel.
With this system, whenever you
insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, the
antenna coil in the ignition switch
receives a signal from the transpon-
der in the ignition key and then sends
the signal to the BCM (Body control
Module).
The BCM checks the signal and
determines whether the ignition key
is valid.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.To deactivate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Insert the ignition key into the key
cylinder and turn it to the ON posi-
tion.
To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi-
tion. The immobilizer system acti-
vates automatically. Without a valid
ignition key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
✽ ✽
NOTICEWhen starting the engine, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys
around. Otherwise the engine may
not start or may stop soon after it
starts. Keep each key separately not
to have any malfunction after you
receive your new vehicle.
This device complies with
Industry Canada Standard RSS-
210. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions:
1. This device may not cause inter- ference, and
2. This device must accept any inter- ference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of
the device.

Window opening and closing
The driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the
windows in the vehicle. To open or
close a window, press down (
➄) or
pull up (
➄) the front portion of the
corresponding switch. Automatic power window down
(driver’s window, if equipped)
Depressing the power window switch
momentarily to the second detent
position (
\b) completely lowers the
driver’s window even when the
switch is released. To stop the win-
dow at the desired position while the
window is in operation, pull up the
switch momentarily to the opposite
direction of the window movement.
If the battery has been discharged
or disconnected, the automatic
power window system must be reset
as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON posi- tion.
2. Close each window and continue pulling up on each power window
switch for at least 0.5 second after
the window is completely closed. Power window lock switch
 The driver can disable the power
window switches on a passenger
door by depressing the power win-
dow lock switch located on the dri-
ver’s door to LOCK (pressed).
 When the power window lock switch is ON, the driver’s master
control cannot operate the passen-
ger door power windows either.

Curtain airbag (if equipped)Curtain airbags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occupants
in certain side impact collisions. 
If the curtain airbag deploys, it
remains inflated for approximately 3
seconds. The curtain airbag deploy-
ment occurs only on the side of the
vehicle affected by the impact.
 The side airbags (side and curtain
airbags) are not designed to deploy
during collisions from the front or
rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.
 The curtain airbags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations.
WARNING
 In order for side airbags (side
and curtain airbags) to pro-
vide its best protection, both
front seat occupants and both
outboard rear occupants
should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belts proper-
ly fastened. Especially, chil-
dren should sit in a proper
child restraint system.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 When children are seated inthe rear outboard seats, they
must be seated in the proper
child restraint system. Make
sure to put the child restraint
system as far away from the
door side as possible, and
secure the child restraint sys-
tem to be locked in position.
 Do not allow the passengers to lean their heads or bodies
onto doors, put their arms on
the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place
objects between the doors
and passengers when they are
seated on the seats where
side airbags are equipped.
 Never try to open or repair any components of the side cur-
tain airbag system. This
should be done only by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle
occupants in an accident.

Knowing your vehicle
In order to help provide protection
in a severe collision, the airbags
must inflate rapidly. The speed of
airbag inflation has been deter-
mined by the Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS)
to reduce the likelihood of serious
or life-threatening injuries and is
thus a mandatory part of the airbag
design.
However, airbag inflation can also
cause injuries which normally can
include facial abrasions, bruises
and broken bones, because that
speed also causes the airbags to
expand with a great deal force.
 There are even circumstances under which contact with the
steering wheel airbag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively close to the steering
wheel.
Noise and smokeWhen the airbags 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 airbag inflator.
After the airbag inflates, you may feel
substantial discomfort in breathing
due to the contact of your chest to
both the safety belt and the airbag,
as well as from breathing the smoke
and powder. We strongly urge you
to open your doors and/or win-
dows as soon as possible after
impact in order to reduce discom-
fort and prevent prolonged expo-
sure to the smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the
skin (eyes, nose and throat etc). If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
the cold water immediately and con-
sult the doctor if the symptom per-
sists.
WARNING
 Driver should sit as far back (at least 10 inches (250 mm)
away) from the steering wheel
airbag as possible to reduce
the risk of injury or death in a
collision. The front passenger
should always move their seat
as far back as possible and sit
back in their seat.
 Airbag inflates instantly in an event of collision, passengers
may be injured by the airbag
expansion force if they are not
in proper position.
 Airbag inflation may cause injuries which normally
include facial or bodily abra-
sions, injuries by the broken
glasses or burns by the explo-
sives.

✽ ✽
NOTICE• Make sure to refuel with gasoline
(unleaded fuel) only for the gaso-
line engine vehicles.
 Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed after refuel-
ing.
 If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuine
Kia cap or the equivalent specified
for your vehicle. An incorrect fuel
filler cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel system or
emission control system. Correct
replacement caps are available at
authorized Kia dealers.
 Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
 A loose fuel filler cap may cause the “Check Engine” (Malfunction
Indicator) light in the instrument
panel to illuminate unnecessarily.
 If the fuel filler lid will not open in cold weather because the area
around it is frozen, push or lightly
tap the lid.
(Continued)
 When refueling always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Always insure that the
engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling
is complete, check to make
sure the fuel filler cap and
door are securely closed,
before starting the engine.
 Do not light any fire around a gas station. DO NOT use
matches or a lighter and DO
NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cig-
arette in your vehicle while at
a gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can,
when ignited, result in explo-
sion by flames.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 If a fire breaks out during refu-eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station or contact the police
and local fire department.
Follow any safety instructions
they provide.
