This system is designed to provide
protection from unauthorized entry
into the vehicle. This system is oper-
ated in three stages: the first is the
“Armed” stage, the second is the
“Theft-alarm” stage, and the third is
the “Disarmed” stage. If triggered,
the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard
warning lights.
Armed stage
Park the vehicle and stop the engine.
Arm the system as described below.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Make sure that all doors, the trunk,
and the engine hood are closed
and latched.
3. Lock the doors by depressing the door lock button on the smart key.
After completion of the steps above,
the hazard warning lights will blink
(for smart key, the chime also
sounds) once to indicate that the
system is armed.
If any door, the trunk, or engine hood
remains open, the hazard warning
lights and the chime will not operate
and the theft-alarm will not arm. If all
doors and trunk and engine hood are
closed after the lock button is
pressed, the hazard warning lights
blink once. The system can also be armed by
locking the doors with the key from
the front doors; however, the hazard
warning lights will not blink using this
method.

tivated by an authorized K900 Kia

the remaining passenger(s) leave
the vehicle. If any door, the trunk,
or engine hood is opened within
30 seconds after the system
enters the armed stage, the sys-
tem is disarmed to prevent an
