Features of your vehicle
Immobilizer System
Folding key immobilizer system
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 that the
ignition key is valid.
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 deactivate the immobilizer
system:
Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
The immobilizer system activates auto-
matically. Without a valid ignition key for
your vehicle, the engine will not start.
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 after it starts.
Keep each key separately in order to
avoid a starting malfunction.

do not leave spare keys anywhere in
your vehicle. Your immobilizer password

Do not put metal accessories near the
ignition switch.
Metal accessories may interrupt the
transponder signal and may prevent the
engine from being started.
NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose your
keys, consult an authorized Kia dealer.

to moisture, static electricity or rough
