Features of your vehicle

This system is designed to provide
protection from unauthorized entry
into the vehicle. This system is oper-
ated in three stages: the first is the
“Armed” stage, the second is the
“Theft-alarm” stage, and the third is
the “Disarmed” stage. If triggered,
the system provides an audible
alarm with blinking of the hazard
warning lights.

Armed stage

1. Turn off the engine.
2. Make sure that all doors (and

trunk) and engine hood are closed
and latched.

3. Lock the doors by depressing the

door lock button on the smart key.

After completion of the steps above,
the hazard warning lights will blink
(for smart key, the chime also
sounds) once to indicate that the
system is armed.
If any door (or trunk) or engine hood
remains open, the hazard warning
lights and the chime will not operate
and the theft-alarm will not arm. If all
doors and trunk and engine hood are
closed after the lock button is
pressed, the hazard warning lights
blink once.

The system can also be armed by
locking the doors with the key from
the front doors; however, the hazard
warning lights will not blink using this
method.

the alarm may be activated when
the remaining passenger(s) leave
the vehicle. If any door (or trunk)
or engine hood is opened within
30 seconds after the system
enters the armed stage, the sys-
tem is disarmed to prevent an
unnecessary alarm.

• The power trunk will not open or

close automatically, when the vehi-
cle is moving more than 1.8 mph (3
km/h).

• The power trunk can be operated

when the engine is not running.
However, the power trunk opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
the vehicles battery power. To pre-
vent the battery from draining, do
not operate it excessively (e.g.,
more than approximately 10 times
repeatedly).

• Do not modify or repair any part of

the power trunk by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia

Automatic stop and Reverse

If during power opening or closing,
the trunk is blocked by an object or
part of someone’s body, the power
trunk will detect the resistance and it
will stop movement or move to the
full open position to allow the object
to be cleared.
However, if an object is thin or soft,
or the trunk is near the latched posi-
tion, the automatic stop and reversal
may not detect the resistance and
the closing operation will continue. If
the power trunk is forced by a strong
impact, the automatic stop and rever-
sal may operate.
