Immobilizer system

Smart key immobilizer system
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle from theft. If an improperly
coded key (or other device) is used, the
vehicle's power system is disabled.
When the ENGINE START/STOP button
is placed in the ON position, the immobi-
lizer system indicator should come on
briefly, then go off. If the indicator starts
to blink, the system does not recognize
the coding of the key.
Place the ENGINE START/STOP button
in the OFF position, then place the
ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON
position again.
If the system repeatedly does not recog-
nize the coding of the key, contact your
Kia dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Electrical prob-
lems could result that may make your
vehicle inoperable.
To deactivate the immobilizer
system
Change the ENGINE START/STOP but-
ton to the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem
Change the ENGINE START/STOP but-
ton to the OFF position. The immobilizer
system activates automatically. Without
a valid smart key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
NOTICE
When starting the vehicle, do not use the
key with other immobilizer keys around.
Otherwise, the vehicle may not start or
5 12
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separate in order to avoid a starting
malfunction.

If you need additional keys or lose your
keys, contact an authorized Kia dealer.
