Knowing your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.
The immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the ignition key
and electronic devices inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, whenever
you insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks
and determines whether the ignition key
is valid or not.
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 cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem:Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
The immobilizer system activates auto-
matically. Without a valid ignition key for
your vehicle, the engine will not start.IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignitionkey is an important part of theimmobilizer system. It is designed to give years of trouble free service,however you should avoid expo- sure to moisture, static electricityand rough handling. Immobilizersystem malfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust the immobilizer system because itcould cause the immobilizer sys-tem to malfunction and should only be serviced by an authorized Kiadealer.
Malfunctions caused by improperalterations, adjustments or modifi-cations to the immobilizer system are not covered by your vehiclemanufacturer warranty.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories nearthe key or ignition key.
The engine may not start for themetal accessories may interrupt thetransponder signal from normally transmitting
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
Immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and should
be kept confidential. Do not leave
this number anywhere in your vehi-
cle.

How does the air bag system
operate Air bag only operates when the ignitionswitch 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.

3Resetting the sunroofWhenever the vehicle battery is discon-
nected or discharged, or you use the
emergency handle to operate the sun-
roof, you have to reset your sunroof sys-
tem as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON posi-
tion.
2. According to the position of the sun- roof, do as follows.
1) in case that the sunroof has closedcompletely or been tilted
: Press the TILT UP button for 1 second.
2) in case that the sunroof has slide- opened
: Press and hold the CLOSE button for more than 5 seconds until the
sunroof has closed completely.
And then press the TILT UP but-
ton for 1 second
3. Then, release it.
4. Press and hold the TILT UP button once again until the sunroof has
returned to the original position of
TILT UP after it is raised a little higher
than the maximum TILT UP position.
When this is complete, the sunroof sys-
tem is reset.
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.ANTENNA
OGH036399N
CAUTION
Do not clean the inside of the rear window glass with a cleaner orscraper to remove the foreigndeposits as this may cause dam- age to the antenna elements.
Avoid adding metallic coating such as Ni, Cd, and so on. Thesecan disturb receiving AM and FMbroadcast signals.
