Do not arm the system until all passen‐
gers have left the vehicle. If the system
is armed while a passenger(s) remains
in the vehicle, the alarm may be activa‐
ted when the remaining passenger(s)
leaves the vehicle. If any door (or trunk
(tailgate)) or engine hood is opened
within 30 seconds after the system en‐
ters the armed stage, the system will
be disarmed to prevent unnecessary
alarm.
Theft-alarm stage
The alarm will be activated if any of the
following occurs while the system is
armed.
• A front or rear door is opened with‐
out using the transmitter.
• The trunk (tailgate) is opened with‐
out using the transmitter.
• The engine hood is opened.
The horn will sound and the hazard
warning lights will blink continuously
for approximately 27 seconds. Then, an
alarm will sound two times with 10
seconds interval. If the alarm situation
does not change after the alarm has
sounded, it will go off again. To turn off
the system, unlock the doors with the
transmitter.
Disarmed stage
The system will be disarmed when:
Folding key
- The door unlock button is pressed.
- The engine is started (within 3 sec‐
onds).

sition for 30 seconds or more.
Smart key
- The door unlock button is pressed.
- The button of the front outside door
is pressed while carrying the smart
key.

onds).
After the doors are unlocked, the haz‐
ard warning lights will blink twice to in‐
dicate that the system is disarmed.
After pressing the unlock button, if any
door (or trunk (tailgate)) is not opened
within 30 seconds, the system will be
rearmed.
NOTICE
• Without smart key system
If the system is not disarmed with
the transmitter, insert the key in‐
to the ignition switch and start the
engine. Then the system will be
disarmed.
• With smart key system
If the system is not disarmed with
the smart key, open the door with
the mechanical key and start the
engine. Then the system will be
disarmed.

mend that you consult an author‐
ized Kia dealer.
