Features of your vehicle
Immobiliser system
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem to reduce the risk of unautho-
rised vehicle use.
Your immobiliser system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
smart key and electronic devices
inside the vehicle.
With the immobiliser system, when-
ever the engine start/stop button is
changed to the ON position, it
checks and determines and verifies if
the smart 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 activate the immobiliser
system:
Change the engine start/stop button
to the OFF position. The immobiliser
system activates automatically.
Without a valid smart key for your
vehicle, the engine will not start.
To deactivate the immobiliser
system:
Change the engine start/stop button
to the ON position.
✽✽
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 in
order to avoid a starting malfunction.
✽✽
NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose
your keys, Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobiliser password is a cus-
tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential. Do
not leave this number anywhere
in your vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories
near the smart key. Metal acces-
sories may interrupt the
transponder signal and may
prevent the engine from being
started.
