your vehicle. Your immobiliser password
is a customer unique password and
should be kept confidential. Do not leave
this number anywhere in your vehicle.
NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use the
key with other immobiliser keys around.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separately in order to avoid a start-
ing malfunction.

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, Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
