when:
- Any door is open.
- The engine start/stop button is not
in the OFF position.
- The smart key is in the vehicle.
Do not leave the power trunk open
for a long period of time. This may
drain the battery.
✽ NOTICE
In cold and wet climates, trunk lock
and trunk mechanisms may not
work properly due to freezing condi-
tions.
Never leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle.
Children or animals might oper-
ate the power trunk that could
result in injury to themselves or
others, or damage to the vehicle.
WARNING
Make sure there are no people
or objects around the trunk
before opening or closing the
power trunk. Wait until the trunk
is open fully and stopped
before loading or unloading
cargo from the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not close or open the
power trunk manually. This
may cause damage to the
power trunk. If it is necessary
to close or open the power
trunk manually when the bat-
tery is drained or disconnect-
ed, do not apply excessive
force.
To prevent damage to the trunk lift cylinders and the
attached hardware, always
close the trunk before driving.
CAUTION

The trunk lid should always be
kept completely closed while the
vehicle is in motion. If it is left
open or ajar, exhaust gases may

Power Trunk Non-Opening orClosing Conditions:
The power trunk will not open or close automatically, when the vehi-
cle is moving more than 3 km/h
(1.8 mph).
The power trunk can be operated when the engine is not running.
However, the power trunk operation
consumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the bat-
tery from draining, do not operate it
excessively (e.g., more than
approximately 10 times repeatedly).
Do not modify or repair any part of the power trunk by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia
Premium dealer.
Before jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the power trunk. Do not oper-
ate the power trunk when the vehi-
cle is raised or this could cause the
power trunk to operate improperly.
If there are obstacles such as snow on the power trunk, it may not open
automatically. After removing the
obstacle, try to open it again.
Automatic stop and Reverse
If, during power opening or closing,
the trunk is blocked by an object or
part of someone’s body, the power
trunk will detect the resistance and it
will stop movement or move to the
full open position to allow the object
to be cleared.
However, if an object is thin or soft,
or the trunk is near the latched posi-
tion, the automatic stop and reversal
may not detect the resistance and
the closing operation will continue. If
the power trunk is forced by a strong
impact, the automatic stop and rever-
sal may operate. If the automatic stop and reverse fea-
ture operates more than twice during
one opening or closing operation, the
power trunk may stop at that posi-
tion. If this occurs, close the trunk
manually and operate the trunk auto-
matically again.
To prevent serious injury and
damage take the following pre-
cautions when operating the
power trunk:
- Keep all faces, hands, arms,
body parts and other objects
away from the path of the
power trunk.
- Do not intentionally place any body parts or objects in the
path of the power trunk to
make sure the automatic stop
and reversal operates.
- Do not allow children to play with the power trunk.

In cold and wet climates, power win-
dows may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
Power windows
The Engine Start/ Stop button must
be in the ON position for power win-
dows to operate. Each door has a
power window switch that controls
the door’s window. The driver has a
power window lock switch which can
block the operation of rear passen-
ger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
engine is turned off. However, if the
front doors are opened, the power
windows cannot be operated even
within the 30 second period.
✽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 nor-
mal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the follow-
ing actions. If the noise occurs with
one or both of the rear windows
down, partially lower both front
windows approximately one inch. If
you experience the noise with the
sunroof open, slightly reduce the
size of the sunroof opening.
Window opening and closing
Pressing or pulling up the power win-
dow switch momentarily to the sec-
ond detent position (6) completely
lowers or lifts the window even when
the switch is released. To stop the
window at the desired position while
the window is in operation, pull up or
press and release the switch to the
opposite direction of the movement.
If the power window is not operated
correctly, the automatic power win-
dow system must be reset as follows:

1.Press the Engine Start/Stop Buttontwice to the ON position.
2.Close the window and continue pulling up on the driver’s power
window switch for at least 1 second
after the window is completely
closed.
Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the win-
dow 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 approximately 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 rever-
sal 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
position on the power window switch.
OKH043277N
Always check for obstructions
before raising any window to
avoid injuries or vehicle damage.
If an object less than 4 mm (0.16
in.) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and
the upper window channel, the
automatic reverse window may
not detect the resistance and will
not stop and reverse direction.

Unsecured Engine Hood
Always double check to be sure
that the hood is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the hood could fly open
while the vehicle is being driv-
en, causing a total loss of visi-
bility, which might result in an
accident.
