KIA 2010 CEED Owner's manual

kia,

the

company

Now that you are the owner of a Kia Vehicle, you’ll probably be

asked a lot of questions about your vehicle and the company like

“What is a Kia?,” “Who is Kia?,” “What does ‘Kia’ mean?”

Here are some answers. First, Kia is the oldest car company in

Korea. It’s a company that has thousands of employees focused

on building high-quality vehicles at affordable prices.

The first syllable, Ki, in the word “Kia” means “to arise from to

the world” or “to come up out of to the world.” The second syl-

lable, a, means “Asia.” So, the word Kia, means “to arise from”

or “to come up out of Asia to the world.”

Enjoy your Vehicle!

i

Thank you for choosing a Kia vehicle.

WARNING

- Ignition key

• Leaving children unattended

in a vehicle with the ignition

key is dangerous even if the

key is not in the ignition.

Children copy adults and they

could place the key in the igni-

tion. The ignition key would

enable children to operate

power windows or other con-

trols, or even make the vehicle

move, which could result in

serious bodily injury or even

death. Never leave the keys in

your vehicle with unsuper-

vised children.

• Use only Kia original parts for

the ignition key in your vehi-

cle. If an aftermarket key is

used, the ignition switch may

not return to ON after START.

If this happens, the starter will

continue to operate causing

damage to the starter motor

and possible fire due to exces-

sive current in the wiring.

vehicle use.

The immobilizer system is comprised

of a small transponder in the ignition

key and electronic devices inside the

vehicle.

With the immobilizer system, when-

ever you insert your ignition key into

the ignition switch and turn it to ON,

it checks and determines whether

the ignition key is valid or not.

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 sys-

tem:

Insert the ignition key into the key

cylinder and turn it to the ON posi-

tion.

To activate the immobilizer sys-

tem:

Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi-

tion. The immobilizer system acti-

vates automatically. 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 not to have any

malfunction after you receive your

new vehicle.

IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

CAUTION

The transponder in your ignition

key is an important part of the

immobilizer system. It is

designed to give years of trou-

blefree service, however you

should avoid exposure to mois-

ture, static electricity and rough

handling. Immobilizer system

malfunction could occur.

CAUTION

Do not change, alter or adjust

the immobilizer system because

it could cause the immobilizer

system to malfunction and

should only be serviced by an

authorized Kia dealer.

er alterations, adjustments or

modifications to the immobilizer

system are not covered by your

vehicle manufacturer warranty.

WARNING

Leaving your vehicle unlocked

can invite theft or possible harm

to you or others from someone

hiding in your vehicle while you

are gone. Always remove the

ignition key, engage the parking

brake, close all windows and

lock all doors when leaving your

vehicle unattended.

WARNING

- Unattended

children

An enclosed vehicle can

become extremely hot, causing

death or severe injury to unat-

tended children or animals who

cannot escape the vehicle.

Furthermore, children might

operate features of the vehicle

that could injure them, or they

could encounter other harm,

possibly from someone gaining

entry to the vehicle. Never leave

children or animals unattended

in your vehicle.

Super lock system

(if equipped)

If you turn the key to the “LOCK”

position or depress the “LOCK” but-

ton on the transmitter to lock the

doors, the locked doors are not

unlocked by other tools except

unlocking with the key or transmitter.

This feature is to prevent potential

locking with the key or the

transmitter with anybody left in

the vehicle. The passenger in

the vehicle cannot unlock the

doors with the inside handle or

the door lock switch. For exam-

ple, if the door is locked with the

transmitter, the passenger in

the vehicle cannot unlock the

door without the transmitter.

WARNING

• The doors should always be

fully closed and locked while

the vehicle is in motion to pre-

vent accidental opening of the

door. Locked doors will also

discourage potential intruders

when the vehicle stops or

slows.

• Be careful when opening

doors and watch for vehicles,

motorcycles, bicycles or

pedestrians approaching the

vehicle in the path of the door.

Opening a door when some-

thing is approaching can

cause damage or injury.
