Key operations
• Used to start the engine.
Used to lock and unlock the doors. Immobiliser system
Your vehicle may be equipped with an electronic engine immobiliser system to
reduce the risk of unauthorised vehicle
use.
Your immobiliser system is comprised of
a small transponder in the key and elec-
tronic devices inside the vehicle.
Vehicles without smart key system
With the immobiliser system, whenever
you insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks
and determines and verifies if the ignition
key is valid or not.
If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will not
start.
To deactivate the immobiliser system:
Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.
To activate the immobiliser system:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
The immobiliser system activates auto-
matically. Without a valid ignition key for
your vehicle, the engine will not start.

WARNING
- Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in a
vehicle with the ignition key (Smart
key) is dangerous even if the key is
not in the ignition or start button is
ACC or ON position. Children copy
adults and they could place the key
in the ignition or press the start but-
ton. The ignition key (Smart 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, when the engine is running.
WARNING
We recommend that you use parts
for replacement from an authorised
Kia dealer. 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 current in the wiring.
