Features of your vehicle
Immobilizer system
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
to reduce the risk of unauthorized
vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
ignition key and electronic devices
inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, when-
ever you insert your ignition key into
the ignition switch and turn it to ON
or whenever the engine start/stop
button is changed to the ON position,
it checks and verifies if the ignition
key is valid.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.
To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Turn the ignition key or change the
engine start/stop button from the ON
position to the OFF position. The
immobilizer system activates auto-
matically. Without a valid ignition key
for your vehicle, the engine will not
start.
To deactivate the immobilizer
system:
Insert the ignition key into the key
cylinder and turn it to the ON position
or change the engine start/stop but-
ton to the ON position.
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 engine, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys
around. Otherwise, the engine 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 ignition switch.
Metal accessories may interrupt the
transponder signal and may prevent
the engine from being started.
NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose
your keys, contact an authorized
Kia dealer.
