Disarmed stage

Operating condition(s)

  • Door unlock button is pressed.

  • The vehicle is started.

  • Outside door handle button is pressed.

CAUTION

  • 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 authorised 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.

  • Do not attempt to alter this system or add other devices to it. Electrical problems could result that may make your vehicle inoperable.

  • Make sure all windows are close whilst the system operates. If not, the Ultrasonic Intrusion Protection detects the inadvertent movement inside the vehicle (for example, blowing a wind or entering a butterfly) and it makes the siren sounds.

  • 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.

  • 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 normally.

NOTE

  • Do not lock the doors until all passengers have left the vehicle. If the remaining passenger leaves the vehicle when the system is armed, the alarm will be activated.

  • If the vehicle is not disarmed with the smart key, open the doors by using the mechanical key and start the vehicle by directly pressing the EV button with the smart key.

  • If the system is disarmed by unlocking the vehicle, but neither a door nor the tailgate is opened within 30 seconds, the doors will be locked again and the system will rearm automatically.
