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 igni-
tion 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 unsu-
pervised children, when the
engine is running.
WARNING
Kia recommends to use parts
for replacement from an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
If an aftermarket key is used,
the ignition switch may not
return to ON after START. If this
happens, the starter will contin-
ue to operate causing damage
to the starter motor and possi-
ble fire due to excessive current
in the wiring.

tem to reduce the risk of unautho-
rised vehicle use.

prised of a small transponder in the
