electronic engine immobilizer system
to reduce the risk of unauthorized
vehicle use.
Whenever the ENGINE START/STOP
button is changed to the ON position,
the immobilizer system checks and
verifies if the key is valid or not.
If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will
not start.

Change the ENGINE START/STOP
button to the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer system
Change the ENGINE START/STOP
button to the OFF position. The immo-
bilizer system activates automatically.
Without a valid smart key for your
vehicle, the engine will not start.
Your immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and should
be kept confidential. Do not leave this
number anywhere in your vehicle.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Keep each key separate in order to
avoid a starting malfunction.
Do not put metal accessories near
the ignition switch.
Metal accessories may interrupt the
transponder signal and may prevent
the engine from being started.
If you need additional keys or lose
your keys, consult an authorized Kia
Premium dealer.
