ized Kia dealer for reprogramming.
This will not allow the lost key from
starting the vehicle and will protect
from potential theft.
The smart key will not work if any of following occurs:
- If the vehicle key is close to aradio transmitter such as a radio
station it can interfere with normal
operation of the smart key sys-
tem
- The smart key near a mobile two- way radio system or a cellular
phone.
- Another vehicle’s smart key is being operated close to your
vehicle.

phone, the signal from the smart
key 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. Pleacing the
Smart Key and cell phone in close
proximity can disrupt the signals of
the Smart Key This device complies with Part 15
of the FCC rules.

Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.
WARNING - Fire/explo-
sion risk
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station facili-
ty. Failure to follow all warnings
will result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death
due to fire or explosion.
WARNING - Cell phonefires
Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cel-
lular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
WARNING
- Portable fuel container
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 containers designed to
carry and store gasoline.
WARNING - Static electricity
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refuel-
ing since you can generate
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any
item or fabric (polyester, satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of produc-
ing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate poten-
tially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle or other gasoline source.

engine is running and remove the
accessory plug after use. Using the
accessory plug for prolonged periods
of time with the engine off could
cause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric accessories
which are less than 10A in electric
capacity.Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to
the lowest operating level when
using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.

Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology
(if equipped)
You can use a compatible phone via
using the
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology
. Detailed information for
the
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
is described in the Audio system sec-
tion.
AUX, USB and iPod®
(if equipped)
If your vehicle has an AUX and/or
USB (universal serial bus) port, you
can use an AUX port to connect
audio devices and an USB port to
plug in an USB and also an iPod
®
port to plug in an iPod®.
iPod
®mobile digital device sold sep-
arately. Connectivity may require use
of the Kia accessory cable.
When using a portable audio device
connected to the power outlet, noise
may occur during playback. If this
happens, use the power source of
the portable audio device.
How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then received by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction.

Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possible.
When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adversely
affect safe operation of the vehicle.
WARNING- Cell phone use
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.
WARNING- Driver Distraction
Do not stare at the screen while driving. Staring at the
screen for prolonged periods
of time could lead to traffic
accidents.
Using the phone while driving may lead to a lack of attention
of traffic conditions and
increase the likelihood of
accidents. Use the phone fea-
ture after parking the vehicle.
WARNING- Audio System
Do not disassemble, assemble,
or modify the audio system.
Such acts could result in fire or
electric shock.
WARNING- Antenna
Do not touch the antenna dur-
ing thunder or lightening as
such acts may lead to lightning
induced electric shock.
CAUTION
Refrain from use if the screen is blank or no sound can be heardas these signs may indicateproduct malfunction.

If you use devices such as a USB
hub purchased separately, the
vehicle’s audio system may not
recognize the USB device. In that
case, connect the USB device
directly to the multimedia terminal
of the vehicle.
If the USB device is divided by log- ical drives, only the music files on
the highest-priority drive are recog-
nized by car audio.
Devices such as MP3 Player/ Cellular phone/Digital camera can
be unrecognizable by standard
USB I/F can be unrecognizable.
Charging through the USB may not be supported in some mobile
devices.
USB HDD or USB types liable to connection failures due to vehicle
vibrations are not supported. (i-stick

Some non-standard USB devices (METAL COVER TYPE USB) can
be unrecognizable.
(Continued)(Continued)
Some USB flash memory readers
(such as CF, SD, micro SD, etc.) or
external-HDD type devices can be
unrecognizable.
Music files protected by DRM (DIGI- TAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT) are
not recognizable.
The data in the USB memory may be lost while using this audio.
Always back up important data on
a personal storage device.
Please avoid using USB memory products which
can be used as key
chains or cellular phone
