Kia Ceed 2006 - Immobiliser System

37
Knowing your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobiliser system
to reduce the risk of unauthorised
vehicle use.
The immobiliser system is comprised
of a small transponder in the ignition
key and electronic devices inside the
vehicle.
With the immobiliser system, when-
ever you insert your ignition key into
the ignition switch and turn it to ON,
it checks and determines whether
the ignition key is valid or not.
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 deactivate the immobiliser sys-
tem:
Insert the ignition key into the key
cylinder and turn it to the ON posi-
tion.
To activate the immobiliser sys-
tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi-
tion. The immobiliser system acti-
vates automatically. Without a valid
ignition key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
✽✽
NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use
the key with other immobiliser keys
around.
Otherwise the engine may not start
or may stop soon after it starts. Keep
each key separately not to have any
malfunction after you receive your
new vehicle.

malfunction could occur.

tion and should only be serv-
iced by an authorised Kia deal-
er.
Malfunctions caused by improp-
er alterations, adjustments or
modifications to the immobilis-
er system are not covered by
