CAUTION
僅 Do not change, alter or adjust the theft-alarm system because it could cause the theft-
alarm system to malfunction. In this case, have the system serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Malfunctions caused by improper alterations, adjustments or modifications to the theft-
alarm system are not covered by your vehicle manufacturer warranty.
僅 Do not attempt to alter this system or add other devices to it. Electrical problems could
result that may make your vehicle inoperable.
僅 Do not activate the Ultrasonic Intrusion Protection if there are any chances the vehicle
tilts by the outward influences (for example, ferry boat traveling, tower parking etc.),
because it could cause the siren to sound inadvertently.
僅 Make sure all windows are close while the system operates. If not, the Ultrasonic Intru-
sion Protection detects the inadvertent movement inside the vehicle (for example, blow-
ing a wind or entering a butterfly) and it makes the siren sounds.
僅 If boxes are piled high in the vehicle, the Ultrasonic Intrusion Protection may not detect
the movement behind the boxes. Also the boxes may drop and it makes the siren
sounds.
僅 If the Ultrasonic Intrusion Protection is stained with foreign matter such as cosmetics,
spray type air freshener, or spray type window cleaner, the sensor may not operate nor-
mally.
NOTE
僅 Ultrasonic Intrusion Protection is in ON position whenever the vehicle is started again.
僅 Avoid trying to start the vehicle while the alarm is activated. If the system is not dis-
armed with the key, turn the vehicle to the ON position and wait for 30 seconds. Then
the system will be disarmed.
