Driving your vehicle
Vehicles equipped with anti-theft
steering column lock
The steering wheel locks when the
engine start/stop button is in the OFF
position to protect you against theft.
It locks when the door is opened.
If the steering wheel is not locked
properly when you open the driver's
door, the warning chime will sound. If
the problem is not solved, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
In addition, if the ENGINE
START/STOP button is in the OFF
position after the driver's door is
opened, the steering wheel will not
lock and the warning chime will
sound. In such a situation, close the
door. Then the steering wheel will
lock and the warning chime will stop.
NOTICE
If the steering wheel doesn't unlock
properly, the ENGINE START/STOP
button will not work. Press the
ENGINE START/STOP button while
turning the steering wheel right and
left to release the tension.
If difficulty is experienced turning
the engine start/stop button to the
ACC position, turn the steering
wheel right and left to release the
tension while pressing the engine
start/stop button.
When you turn off the engine, the
vehicle should be stopped.
NOTICE
You are able to turn off the engine
(START/RUN) or vehicle power
(ON), only when the vehicle is not in
motion. In an emer gency situation
while the vehicle is in motion, you
are able to turn the engine off and to
the ACC position by pressing the
engine start/stop button for more
than 2 seconds or 3 times successive-
ly within 3 seconds. If the vehicle is
still moving, you can restart the
engine without depressing the brake
pedal by pressing the engine
start/stop button with the shift lever
