Vehicles equipped with a theft alarm sys-
tem will have a label attached to the vehi-
cle with the following words:
1. WARNING
2. SECURITY SYSTEMThis system is designed to provide pro-
tection from unauthorised entry into the
car. This system is operated in three
stages: the first is the "Armed" stage, the
second is the "Theft-alarm" stage, and
the third is the "Disarmed" stage. If trig-
gered, the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard warning
lights.Armed stage
Park the car and stop the engine. Arm
the system as described below.
1. Remove the ignition key from the igni-
tion switch and exit the vehicle.
2. Make sure that all doors (and tailgate) and the engine bonnet are closed and latched.
3. Lock the doors using the transmitter of the keyless entry system.
After completion of the steps above, the
hazard warning lights will blink once to
indicate that the system is armed.
If any door (or tailgate) or engine bonnet
remains open, the hazard warning lights will
not blink and the theft-alarm will not arm. Ifall doors (and tailgate) and engine bonnet
are closed after the lock button is pressed,
the hazard warning lights blink once. Do not arm the system until all pas-
sengers have left the vehicle. If thesystem is armed whilst a passen-
ger(s) remains in the vehicle, the
alarm may be activated when the
remaining passenger(s) leave the
vehicle. If any door (or tailgate) orengine bonnet is opened within 30
seconds after the system enters the
armed stage, the system is disarmed
to prevent unnecessary alarm.

Closing the bonnet
1. Before closing the bonnet, check thefollowing:
All filler caps in engine compartment must be correctly installed.
Gloves, rags or any other com- bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the bonnet until it is about 30 cm (1 ft.) above the closed position
and let it drop. Make sure that it locks
into place.
WARNING
Before closing the bonnet, ensure that all obstructions are
removed from the bonnet open-
ing. Closing the bonnet with anobstruction present in the bonnet
opening may result in property
damage or severe personal
injury.
Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.WARNING
Always double check to be sure that the bonnet is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the bonnet could open
whilst the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility,
which might result in an accident.
The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole provided
whenever you inspect the engine
compartment. This will prevent
the bonnet from falling and pos-
sibly injuring you.
Do not move the vehicle with the bonnet raised. The view will be
blocked and the bonnet could fall
or get damaged.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you will experience a loss of
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,
the engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (automatic transaxle) or Neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out
from the bonnet, stop the engine. Donot open the bonnet until the coolant
has stopped running or the steaming
has stopped. If there is no visible loss
of engine coolant and no steam, leave
the engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is operat-
ing. If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off. 4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is missing. If it is not missing,
check to see that it is tight. If the drive
belt seems to be satisfactory, check for
coolant leaking from the radiator,
hoses or under the vehicle. (If the air
conditioning had been in use, it is nor-
mal for cold water to be draining from
it when you stop).
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and we recom-
mend that you call an authorised Kia
dealer. 6. If you cannot find the cause of over-
heating, wait until the engine tempera-
ture has returned to normal. Then, ifcoolant has been lost, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir to bring the
fluid level in the reservoir up to the
halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. If over-
heating happens again, we recommend
that you call an authorised Kia dealer.
WARNING
Whilst the engine is running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away from
moving parts such as the fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This can
allow coolant to be blown out of the
opening and cause serious burns.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system
and we recommend that the system be checked by an authorised Kiadealer.
