When the transmitter (or smart key) does
not work properly, open and close the
door with the ignition key. If you have a
problem with the transmitter (or smart
key), contact an authorized Kia dealer. (Continued)(Continued)
If the transmitter is in close proximity to
your cell phone or smart phone, the
signal from the transmitter could be
blocked by normal operation of your
cell phone or smart phone. This is
especially important when the phone is
active such as making calls, receiving
calls, text messaging, and/or send-
ing/receiving emails. Avoid placing the
transmitter and your cell phone or
smart phone in the same pants or jack-
et pocket and maintain adequate dis-
tance between the two devices. This device complies with Industry
Canada Standard RSS-210.

conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any interfer- ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
✽ ✽NOTICE

cessfully, you have to start the engine
within 30 seconds. If you attempt to
start the engine after 30 seconds, the

Power windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls the door’s window. The driv-
er has a power window lock switch which
can block the operation of passenger
windows.
The power windows can be operated for
approximately 30 seconds after the igni-
tion key is removed or turned to the ACC
or LOCK position. However, if the front
doors are opened, the power windows
cannot be operated even within the 30
second period.
In cold and wet climates, power windows
may not work properly due to freezing
conditions.
✽ ✽NOTICE
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped)
in an open (or partially open) position,
your vehicle may demonstrate a wind
buffeting or pulsation noise. This noise
is a normal occurrence and can be
reduced or eliminated by taking the fol-
lowing actions. If the noise occurs with
one or both of the rear windows down,
partially lower both front windows
approximately one inch. If you experi-
ence the noise with the sunroof open,
slightly reduce the size of the sunroof
opening.

If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance and
will stop upward movement. The window
will then lower approximately 30 cm (11.8
in.) to allow the object to be cleared.
If the window detects the resistance
while the power window switch is pulled
up continuously, the window will stop
upward movement then lower approxi-
mately 2.5 cm (1 in.). And if the power
window switch is pulled up continuously
again within 5 seconds after the window
is lowered by the automatic window
reversal feature, the automatic window
reversal will not operate.

The automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when the
“auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway posi-
tion on the power window switch.

Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the fol-lowing:
ment must be correctly installed.
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 hood until it is about 30 cm (1 ft.) above the closed position and let
it drop. Make sure that it locks into
place. The support rod must be inserted com-
pletely into the hole whenever you
inspect the engine compartment. This will
prevent the hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.
WARNING - Fire risk
Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so may
cause a heat-induced fire.
WARNING - Unsecured
engine Hood
Always double check to be sure
that the hood is firmly latched
before driving away. If the engine
hood is not secured properly, it is
likely to fly up blocking your vision
and causing a crash.

Features of your vehicle
Always check that the fuel cap is installed
securely to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident.✽ ✽NOTICE
When using an approved portable fuel
container, be sure to place the container
on the ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, contact with
the vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use only
approved portable plastic fuel contain-
ers designed to carry and store gasoline.
WARNING - Fire/explosion
risk
Read and follow all warnings post-
ed at the gas station facility. Failure
to follow all warnings will result in
severe personal injury, severe
burns or death due to fire or explo-
sion.
WARNING - Cell phonefires
Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
WARNING - Static electricity
Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.
Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab-
ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source.
