NOTICE
The power sliding door and power tail-
gate are not opened by pressing the cor-
responding button on the transmitter
directly when all power sliding doors
and power tailgate are locked and
closed. To open the power sliding door
or power tailgate from outside vehicle,
press the unlock button twice within 3
seconds first and press corresponding
power sliding door or power tailgate
opening button.
(6) Alarm ( )
The horn sounds and hazard warning
lights flash for about 27 seconds if
this button is pressed. To stop the
horn and lights, press any button on
the transmitter.
✽
NOTICE
The transmitter will not work if any of
following occur:
• The ignition key is in ignition switch.
• You exceed the operating distance
limit (about 30 m [90 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 autho-
rized Kia Dealer.
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.
CAUTION
The power doors can be operated
when the engine is not running.
However, the power doors consume
large amounts of vehicle electric
power. To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not operate
them consecutively (more than
approximately 10 times).
CAUTION
Keep 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 manufactur-
er vehicle warranty.

Features of your vehicle
Your new mirror comes with an integrat-
ed HomeLink Universal Transceiver,
which allows you to program the mirror to
activate your garage door(s), estate gate,
home lighting, etc. The mirror actually
learns the codes from your various exist-
ing transmitters.
Programming
Your vehicle may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the ACC position
for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink. It is also recommended that a
new battery be replaced in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink for quicker train-
ing and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency.
Follow these steps to train your
HomeLink mirror:
HOMELINK® WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
• When programming the
HomeLink® Wireless Control
System, you may be operating a
garage door or gate operator.
Make sure that people and objects
are out of the way of the moving
door or gate to prevent potential
harm or damage.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety stan-
dards. (This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to
stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener with-
out these features increases risk
of serious injury or death. For
more information, call 1-800-355-
3515 or on the internet at
www.homelink.com.
• Retain the original transmitter for
future programming procedures
(i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is
also suggested that upon the sale
of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink buttons be erased for
security purposes (follow step 1
in the “Programming” portion of
this text).

tons for more than 3 seconds.
For example, if the “H” and “M” buttons is
pressed for more than 3 seconds while
the time is 10:15 p.m., the display will be
changed to 22:15.
Roof antenna
If your vehicle has an audio system, an
amplifying antenna is installed in your
vehicle.
This antenna can be removed from the
vehicle when you wash your vehicle.
✽
NOTICE
• Be sure to remove the antenna before
washing the car in an automatic car
wash or it may be damaged.
• When reinstalling your antenna, it is
important that it is fully tightened to
ensure proper reception.
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 or quarter glass.

CAUTION
• Do not clean the inside of the rear
window glass or quarter glass
with a cleaner or use a scraper to
remove any foreign deposits as
this may cause damage to the
antenna elements.
• Avoid adding metallic coating
such as Ni, Cd, and so on. These
can interfere with AM/FM recep-
tion.

How car audio works
AM 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:

• 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.
¢¢¢
JBM004JBM005
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.
