✽ ✽
NOTICEThe transmitter will not work if any of
following occur:
• The ignition key is in ignition switch.
• You exceed the operating distance
limit (about 10 m [30 feet]).
• 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., these may interfere with
the signal.
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

Wireless control system
The HomeLink® Wireless Control
System provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held radio-fre-
quency (RF) transmitters with a single
built-in device. This innovative feature will
learn the radio frequency codes of most
current transmitters to operate devices
such as gate operators, garage door
openers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both standard
and rolling code-equipped transmitters
can be programmed by following the out-
lined procedures. Additional HomeLink®
information can be found at: www.home-
link.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink® programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink® buttons be
erased for security purposes.
HOMELINK® WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Before programming HomeLink® to
a garage door opener or gate oper-
ator, make sure that people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm or
damage. Do not use HomeLink®
with any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and reverse
features as required by U.S. Federal
Safety Standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manu-
factured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to stop
and reverse - does not meet current
U.S. Federal Safety Standards.
Using a garage door opener without
these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death.

Knowing your vehicle80 3Programming HomeLink® When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park the
vehicle outside of the garage.
It is recommended that a new bat-
tery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink® for quicker
training and accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal.
Some vehicles may require the igni-
tion switch to be turned to the sec-
ond (or "accessories") position for
programming and/or operation of
HomeLink.
In the event that there are still pro-
gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming
steps listed below, contact
HomeLink® at: www.homelink.com
or 1-800-355-3515.
Standard programmingTo train most devices, follow these
instructions:
1. For first-time programming, press and
hold the two outside buttons,
HomeLink® Channel 1 and Channel 3
Buttons, until the indicator light begins
to flash (after 20 seconds). Release
both buttons. Do not hold the buttons
for longer than 30 seconds.
2. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 5-14 cm (1-3 inches) away
from the HomeLink® buttons while
keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both
the HomeLink® and hand-held trans-
mitter button. DO NOT release the but-
tons until step 4 has been completed.
4. While continuing to hold the buttons
the red Indicator Status LED will flash
slowly and then rapidly after
HomeLink® successfully trains to the
frequency signal from the hand-held
transmitter. Release both buttons.5. Press and hold the just-trained
HomeLink® button and observe the
red Status Indicator LED. If the indica-
tor light stays on constantly, program-
ming is complete and your device
should activate when the HomeLink®
button is pressed and released.
6. To program the remaining two
HomeLink® buttons, follow steps 2
through 5.

Knowing your vehicle
Fixed rod antenna
(if equipped)Your car uses a fixed rod antenna to
receive both AM and FM broadcast sig-
nals.
This antenna is removable. To remove
the antenna, turn it counterclockwise. To
install the antenna, turn it clockwise.
Glass antenna (if equipped)When the radio power switch is turned on
while the ignition key is in either the “ON”
or “ACC” position, your car will receive
both AM and FM broadcast signals
through the antenna in the rear window
glass.✽ ✽
NOTICE• Do not clean the inside of the rear
window glass with a cleaner or use a
scraper to remove the foreign deposits
as this may cause damage to the
antenna elements.
• Avoid adding metallic coating such as
Ni, Cd, and so on. These can disturb
receiving AM and FM broadcast sig-
nals.

Knowing your vehicle
How car audio worksAM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your car. This signal is
then received by the radio and sent to
your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can fol-
low the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmos-
phere. In addition, they curve around
obstructions so that they can provide bet-
ter signal coverage.FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM
broadcasts generally begin to fade at
short distances from the station. Also,
FM signals are easily affected by build-
ings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening con-
ditions which might lead you to believe a
problem exists with your radio. The fol-
lowing conditions are normal and do not
indicate radio trouble:AUDIO SYSTEM

FM reception AM reception FM radio station

Knowing your vehicle96 3• Fading - As your car moves away from
the radio station, the signal will weaken
and sound will begin to fade. When this
occurs, we suggest that you select
another stronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears. Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select anoth-
er station with a stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals
being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed signal from the same station, or by
signals from two stations with close
frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has
passed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not mean
that something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.

CAUTION
When using a communication sys-
tem such a cellular phone or a radio
set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adverse-
ly affect safe operation of the vehi-
cle.
WARNING
Don’t use a cellular phone when
you are driving. The driver must
stop at a safe place to use a cellular
phone.
