Power Trunk Non-Opening or
Closing Conditions:
The power trunk will not open or close automatically, when the vehi-
cle is moving more than 1.8 mph (3
km/h).
The power trunk can be operated when the engine is not running.
However, the power trunk opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
the vehicles battery power. To pre-
vent the battery 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
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.

Features of your vehicle
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 manu-
ally and operate the trunk automati-
cally again.To Reset the Power Trunk
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, or if the related fuse
has been replaced or disconnected,
reset the power trunk as follows:
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park)position.
2. Close the trunk manually.
If the power trunk doesn't work prop-
erly after performing the above pro-
cedure, have the system checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
Trunk Lid Control Button
When the trunk lid control button is in
UNLOCK, the power trunk can be
controlled with the power trunk main
control button, power trunk open,
close button, and the smart key.
When this trunk lid control button is
in LOCK, the power trunk can be
controlled using the mechanical key
of the smart key only.
WARNING
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.

Even though the trunk lid control but-
ton is in LOCK, the trunk will still be
propelled upward by mechanical
force if the trunk is manually opened
more than 10 degrees beyond the

closed to the secondary latch posi-
tion, the trunk will be electrically
moved to the fully latched position.

lid control button in the unlock posi-
tion before washing the vehicle in an

Your vehicle is equipped with an
Emergency Trunk Safety Release
lever located inside the trunk. When

Features of your vehicle
You and your passengers must beaware of the location of the
Emergency Trunk Safety Release
lever in this vehicle and how to
open the trunk in case you are
accidentally locked in the trunk.
Your vehicle should be kept locked and the Smart Key should be kept
out of the reach of children.
Parents should teach their children
about the dangers of playing in
trunks.
Use the release lever for emergen- cies only.
WARNING
NEVER allow anyone to occupy
the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or
totally latched and the person is
unable to get out, serious injury
or death could occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes
and rapid heat build-up, or
because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The trunk is
also a highly dangerous loca-
tion in the event of a crash
because it is not a protected
occupant space but is a part of
the vehicle’s crush zone.
WARNING
Make sure that there are no peo-
ple or objects in the path of the
power trunk (or smart trunk)
prior to use. Serious injury,
damage to the vehicle or dam-
age to surrounding objects may
result if contact with the power
trunk (or smart trunk) occurs.
