Smart key immobilizer system
Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic immobilizer system to reduce
the risk of unauthorized vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
smart key and electronic devices
inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, when-
ever you turn the POWER button to
the ON position by pressing the but-
ton while carrying the smart key, it
checks and determines and verifies if
the smart key is valid or not.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the vehicle will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the vehicle will not start.
To deactivate the immobilizer
system:
Turn the POWER button to the ON
position by pressing the button while
carrying the smart key.
To activate the immobilizer system:
Turn the POWER button to the OFF
position. The immobilizer system
activates automatically. Without a
valid smart key for your vehicle, the
vehicle will not start.
In order to prevent theft of your vehi-
cle, do not leave spare keys anywhere
in your vehicle.Your Immobilizer pass-
word is a customer unique password
and should be kept confidential. Do
not leave this number anywhere in
your vehicle.
NOTICE
When starting the vehicle, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys
around. Otherwise the vehicle may
not start or may stop soon after it
starts. Keep each key separate in
order to avoid a starting malfunction.
Do not put metal accessories near
the smart key.
The vehicle may not start because
the metal accessories may interrupt
the transponder signal from transmit-
ting normally.
NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose
your keys, contact an authorized
Kia dealer.

system to moisture, static elec-
tricity and rough handling. This
may damage your immobilizer.
CAUTION - Immobilizer
alterations

the immobilizer system because
