Keys
Never leave the keys in your vehicle with
unsupervised children. Leaving children
unattended in a vehicle with a manual
ignition key or a smart key is dangerous.
Children copy adults and they could
place the key in the ignition switch or
press the start button. The key would
enable children to operate power win
-
dows or other controls, or even make the
vehicle move, which could result in seri
-
ous bodily injury or death.
Record your key number
The key code number
is stamped on the key
code tag attached to
the key set. Should
you lose your keys, this number will
enable an authorized Kia dealer to dupli
-
cate the keys easily. Remove the key
code tag and store it in a safe place.
Also, record the key code number and
keep it in a safe and handy place, but
not in the vehicle.
Aftermarket keys
Use only Kia original parts for the igni
-
tion key in your vehicle. If an aftermarket
key is used, the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button may not
return to ON after START. If this hap
-
pens, the starter will continue to operate
causing possible fire due to excessive
current in the wiring.
Battery replacement

volt lithium battery which will normally
last for several years.

the battery, contact an authorized Kia

tion is correct.

of removal.
For remote key or smart key replace
-
ment, visit an authorized Kia dealer.
The remote key or smart key is designed
to give you years of use, but it can mal
-
function if exposed to moisture or static

or replace the battery, contact an autho
-
rized Kia dealer.
Using the wrong battery can cause the
remote key or smart key to malfunction.
Be sure to use the correct battery.
