1. To activate the password, turn the

ignition key "ON" and "OFF"
according to the digit numbers.
The immobilizer indicator will blink
along with the operation of the
ignition key. For example, turn the
ignition key once for digit number
"1", and twice for "2", and so on.
For the digit number "0", you must
cycle the ignition key 10 times.

2. Wait for 3~10 seconds.
3. You may set the remaining number

of digits by following steps 1 and 2.

4. If all of the four password digits

have been successfully entered,
turn the ignition key "ON" and
check that the immobilizer indica-
tor illuminates. From this time, you
have to start your engine within 30
seconds. If you try to start your
engine after 30 seconds, your
engine will not start.

✽

NOTICE

If the engine stalls while driving in
the "limp home" mode, you can
start your engine within 3 seconds
without re-entering the password.

If the immobilizer indicator blinks for
five seconds, you must re-enter the
password (steps 1~4).

After performing the limp home acti-
vation procedure, consult with your
authorized Kia dealer as soon as
possible.

CAUTION

• If the password is entered

incorrectly three consecutive
times, wait for about one hour
to perform the limp home acti-
vation procedure again.

• If you cannot start your engine

using the limp home activa-
tion procedure, have your
vehicle towed by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
