Knowing your vehicle

Knowing your vehicle23The key code number is stamped on the
plate attached to the key set. Should you
lose your keys, this number will enable
an authorized Kia Dealer to duplicate the
keys easily. Remove the plate and store it
in a safe place. Also, record the code
number and keep it in a safe and handy
place, but not in the vehicle.
Key operations➀Master key
Used to start the engine, lock and unlock the doors, lock and unlock the
glove box, and open the trunk.
➁ Sub key
Used only to start the engine and lock
and unlock the door.
➂ Transmitter
Used to lock and unlock the doors
and trunk (trunk can only be opened
with the transmitter when the trunk lid
control button located in the glove
compartment is turned on. See page
3-3).
KEYS
WARNING
- Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in a
vehicle with the ignition key is dan-
gerous even if the key is not in the
ignition. Children copy adults and
they could place the key in the igni-
tion. The ignition key would enable
children to operate power windows
or other controls, or even make the
vehicle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even death.
Never leave the keys in your vehicle
with unsupervised children.

Knowing your vehicle
Restrictions in handling keysWhen leaving keys with parking lot and
valet attendants, the following proce-
dures will ensure that your vehicle’s trunk
and glove box compartment cannot be
opened in your absence.1. Unlock the glove box with the master
key and open it.
2. Set the trunk lid control button in the glove box compartment to OFF (not
depressed). In the OFF position, the
trunk cannot be unlocked with either
the trunk release lever inside the car or
trunk open button of transmitter.
3. Close the glove box, and lock the glove box using the master key.
4. Leave the sub key with the attendant. The trunk and glove box are secured
because the sub key only allows the
engine to start and locks and unlocks
the door.

WARNING
Use only Kia original parts for the
ignition key in your vehicle. If an
aftermarket key is used, the ignition
switch may not return to ON after
START. If this happens, the starter
will continue to operate causing
damage to the starter motor and
possible fire due to excessive cur-
rent in the wiring.
