KEYS

Record your key number

The key code num-
ber is stamped on
the key code tag
attached to the key
set. Should
lose your keys, this number will
enable an authorized Kia dealer to
duplicate 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.
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 oper-
ate causing possible fire due to
excessive current in the wiring.
