Activating the immobiliser system
Operation
Change the EV button to the OFF position. The immobiliser system activates automat
ically. Without a valid smart key for your vehicle, the vehicle will not start.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your vehicle, do not leave spare keys anywhere in your ve
hicle. Your immobiliser password is a customer unique password and should be kept
confidential. Do not leave this number anywhere in your vehicle.
CAUTION
• Make sure not to leave the key inside the vehicle when locking the vehicle door.
• When starting the vehicle with two keys provided on the same key ring at the same
time, the engine may not start due to a communication failure, so start the engine
with each key separated.
• When you use a duplicate key, the vehicle will not start.
• Make sure not to drop or impact on the key, as it may damage the electronics
equipped in the key and the vehicle may not start.
• Do not mount metallic accessories around the key or the start button. As these
products may interfere with radio waves transmitted to the inside of the start button
when starting the engine, the engine may not start.
NOTE
• If you need additional keys or lose your keys, you can register a new key. Kia rec
ommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner because you need to use
the registered device.
• Do not install other wireless starters on a vehicle equipped with the immobiliser sys
tem. When installed, it may cause vehicle system failure and the vehicle anti-theft
function may not work.
• When starting the vehicle, do not use the key with other immobiliser keys around.
Otherwise the vehicle may not start or may stop soon after it starts. Keep each key
separately in order to avoid a starting malfunction.
