NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not
use the key with other immobilizer
keys around. Otherwise the engine
may not start or may stop soon af‐
ter it starts. Keep each key separate
in order to avoid a starting malfunc‐
tion.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories near
the ignition switch. Metal accesso‐
ries may interrupt the transponder
signal and may prevent the engine
from being started.

CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition key
is an important part of the immobil‐
izer system. It is designed to give
years of trouble-free service, how‐
ever you should avoid exposure to
moisture, static electricity and rough
handling. Immobilizer system mal‐
function could occur.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust the
immobilizer system because it could
cause the immobilizer system to
malfunction. In this case, have the
system serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
Malfunctions caused by improper al‐
terations, adjustments or modifica‐
tions to the immobilizer system are
not covered by your vehicle manu‐
facturer warranty.
