Theft alarm system will not operate

switch.

mitter key, unlock the doors with the

Armed stage
When the ignition switch is in the
“LOCK” position, and key is not in the
ignition, the system will be armed
and the hazard lights will flash once
when the following conditions are
met:
• The bonnet, rear hatch and doors
are all closed and locked with the
transmitter.
• If a door or the rear hatch is not
opened within approximately 30
seconds after unlocking with the
transmitter, all doors will be locked
again and theft alarm system
armed.

NOTICE
Do not arm the system until all pas-
sengers have left the vehicle. If the
system is armed whilst a passen-
ger(s) remains in the vehicle, the
alarm may be activated when the
remaining passenger(s) leave the
vehicle. If any door (or rear hatch)
or engine bonnet is opened within 30
seconds after the system enters the
armed stage, the system is disarmed
to prevent an unnecessary alarm.

stage. If the hazard warning
lights does not flash, the vehicle
will not operate the theft alarm
system as it does not enter the
armed stage. Therefore, have
your vehicle checked by an
authorised Kia dealer as soon
as possible.
