Disarmed stage

Operation

  1. The hazard warning lights will blink twice after the doors are unlocked.

  2. After pressing the door unlock button, if any door (or tailgate) is not opened within 30 seconds, the system will be rearmed.

Operating condition(s)

  • Door unlock button is pressed.

  • The engine is started.

  • The vehicle is in ON position for more than approximately 30 seconds. (For remote key)

  • Outside door handle button is pressed. (For smart key)

CAUTION

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

  • 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 authorized 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.

  • Do not activate the Ultrasonic Intrusion Protection if there are any chances the vehicle tilts by the outward influences (for example, ferry boat traveling, tower parking etc.), because it could cause the siren to sound inadvertently.

  • 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.

NOTICE

  • Ultrasonic Intrusion Protection is in ON position whenever the vehicle is started again.

  • Avoid trying to start the engine while the alarm is activated. The vehicle starting motor is disabled during the theft-alarm stage.

  • If the system is not disarmed with the remote key, insert the mechanical key into the ignition switch, turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait for 30 seconds. Then the system will be disarmed.
