Immobilizer system (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the ignition key
and electronic devices inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, whenever
you insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks
and determines and verifies if 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.
WARNING - Ignition key
(smart key)
Leaving children unattended in a
vehicle with the Ignition key (smart
key) is dangerous even if the key is
not in the ignition switch or start
button is ACC or ON position.
Children copy adults and they could
place the key in the ignition switch
or press the start button. The
Ignition key (smart key) would
enable children to operate power
windows or other controls, or even
make the vehicle move, which could
result in serious bodily injury or
even death. Never leave the keys in
your vehicle with unsupervised chil-
dren, when the engine is running.
WARNING
Use only Kia original parts for the
ignition key in your vehicle. If an
aftermarket key is used, the ignition
switch may not return to ON after
START. If this happens, the starter
will continue to operate causing
damage to the starter motor and
possible fire due to excessive cur-
rent in the wiring.
