✽NOTICEThe transmitter will not work if any of
the following occur:
- The ignition key is in the ignition
switch.
- You exceed the operating distance limit (10 m [393.7 inches]).
- The battery in the transmitter is weak.
- Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal.
- The weather is extremely cold.
- The transmitter is close to a radio transmitter such as a radio station or
an airport which can interfere with
normal operation of the transmitter.
When the transmitter does not work
correctly, open and close the door with
the ignition key. If you have a problem
with the transmitter, contact an author-
ized Kia Dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICEKeep the transmitter away from water
or any liquid. If the keyless entry system
is inoperative due to exposure to water
or liquids, it will not be covered by your
manufacturer vehicle warranty. Operational distance may vary depend-
ing upon the area the transmitter is used
in. For example, if the vehicle is parked
near police stations, government and
public offices, broadcasting stations, mil-
itary installations, airports, or transmit-
ting towers, etc., operational distance
may be lessened. This device complies with Industry
Canada Standard RSS-210.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause interfer-
ence, and
2. This device must accept any interfer- ence, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the
device.
WARNING
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.

ACC position twice. Perform the same
procedure for the next digits between 3
seconds and 10 seconds (for example,
for “3”, turn the ignition ON and ACC 3
times).
4. If all of the digits have been input suc- cessfully, you have to start the engine
within 10 seconds. If you attempt to
start the engine after 10 seconds, the
engine will not start and you will have
to input your password again.
After performing the limp home proce-
dure, you have to see an authorized Kia
dealer immediately to inspect and repair
your ignition key or immobilizer system. This device complies with Industry
Canada Standard RSS-210.

conditions:
1. This device may not cause interfer-
ence, and
2. This device must accept any interfer- ence, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the
device.
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignitionkey is an important part of the immobilizer system. It is designedto give years of trouble free service,however you should avoid expo- sure to moisture, static electricityand rough handling. Immobilizer system malfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust theimmobilizer system because it could cause the immobilizer sys-tem to malfunction and should onlybe serviced by an authorized Kia dealer.
Malfunctions caused by improperalterations, adjustments or modifi-cations to the immobilizer system are not covered by your vehiclemanufacturer warranty.
CAUTION

Window opening and closingThe driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the win-
dows in the vehicle. To open or close a
window, press down or pull up the front
portion of the corresponding switch.
Automatic power windowDepressing or pulling up the power win-
dow switch momentarily to the second
detent position (
\b) completely lowers or
lifts the window even when the switch is
released. To stop the window at the
desired position while the window is in
operation, pull up or depress the switch
momentarily to the opposite direction of
the window movement.
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, the automatic power win-
dow system must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON position.
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. Automatic window reversal (When win-
dow is closed by the automatic power
window)
If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance
and will stop upward movement. The
window will then lower approximately
150 mm (5.9 inches) to allow the object
to be cleared.

How does the air bag system
operate Air bag only operates when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START
positions.
 Air bags inflate instantly in the event of
serious frontal or side collision (if
equipped with side air bag or curtain
air bag) in order to help protect the
occupants from serious physical injury.
 There is no single speed at which the
air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate by the severity of a collision and
its direction. These two factors deter-
mine whether the sensors send out an
electronic deployment/inflation signal. 
Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. However, factors are not limit-
ed to those mentioned above.
 The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an accident.
It is much more likely that you will sim-
ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments after
the collision. 
In order to help provide protection in a
severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag
inflation is a consequence of the
extremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need to get the air bag
between the occupant and the vehicle
structures before the occupant impacts
those structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe collision
and is thus a necessary part of air bag
design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which normally can
include facial abrasions, bruises and
broken bones, and sometimes more
serious injuries because that inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal force.
 There are even circumstances under which contact with the steer-
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant
is positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel.

When fuel filler lid does not openwith the release button1. Open the trunk.
2. Pull the emergency hook for fuel filler lid inside the trunk.

(Continued)
 Do not light any fire around a gasstation. DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle
while at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive fuel
is highly flammable and can,
when ignited, result in explosion
by flames.
 If a fire breaks out during refuel- ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the gas station or
contact the police and local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.
CAUTION
 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 refu-eling.
 If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuineKia cap or the equivalent speci- fied for your vehicle. An incorrectfuel filler cap can result in a seri-ous malfunction of the fuel sys- tem or emission control system.Correct replacement caps are available at authorized Kia deal-ers.
 Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any typeof fuel spilled on painted surfacesmay damage the paint.
 A loose fuel filler cap may cause the “Check Engine” (MalfunctionIndicator) light in the instrumentpanel to illuminate unnecessarily.
 If the fuel filler lid will not open in cold weather because the areaaround it is frozen, push or lightlytap the lid.

driving.
The electric remote control mirror switch
allows you to adjust the position of the
left and right outside rearview mirrors. To

CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror face; this may damage the surfaceof the glass. If ice should restrictmovement of the mirror, do not force the mirror for adjustment. Toremove ice, use a deicer spray, or asponge or soft cloth with very warm water.
CAUTION
 The mirrors stop moving when they reach the maximum adjust-ing angles, but the motor contin-ues to operate while the switch is depressed. Do not depress theswitch longer than necessary, themotor may be damaged.
 Do not attempt to adjust the out- side rearview mirror by hands.Doing so may damage the parts.
➀
WARNING
 The right outside rearview mirror is convex. Objects seen in the
mirror are closer than they
appear.
 Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to deter-
mine the actual distance of fol-
lowing vehicles when changing
lanes.
