Features of your vehicle
Immobiliser indicator
Without smart key system
This indicator illuminates when the
immobiliser key is inserted and turned to
the ON position to start the engine.
At this time, you can start the engine. The

If this indicator blinks when the ignition
switch is in the ON position before start-

With smart key system
If any of the following occurs in a vehicle
equipped with the smart key, the immo-
biliser indicator illuminates, blinks or
goes off.
• When the smart key is in the vehicle, if
the engine start/stop button is in the
ACC or ON position, the indicator will
illuminate for approximately 30 sec-
onds to indicate that you are able to
start the engine. However, when the
smart key is not in the vehicle, if the
engine start/stop button is pressed, the
indicator will blink for a few seconds to
indicate that you are not be able to
start the engine.
• If the indicator illuminates only for 2
seconds and goes out when the
engine start/stop button is turned to
ON position with the smart key in the
vehicle, we recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by an authorised Kia
dealer.
• When the battery is weak, if the engine
start/stop button is pressed, the indi-
cator will blink and you are not able to
start the engine. However, you are able
to start the engine by pressing the
engine start/stop button directly with
the smart key. Also, if the smart key
system related parts have a problem,
the indicator will blink.
Tailgate open warning light
This warning light illuminates when the
tailgate is not closed securely.
Low fuel level warning
This warning light indicates the fuel tank
is nearly empty. When it comes on, you
should add fuel as soon as possible.
Driving with the fuel level warning light on
or with the fuel level below "O/E" can
cause the engine to misfire and damage
the catalytic converter (if equipped).
