If the key is invalid, the engine will
not start.

system

Change the ENGINE START/STOP
button to the ON position.

button to the OFF position. The immo-
bilizer system activates automatically.
Without a valid smart key for your
vehicle, the engine will not start.

Your immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and should
be kept confidential. Do not leave this
number anywhere in your vehicle.

✽

NOTICE

Keep each key separate in order to
avoid a starting malfunction.

Power Trunk Non-Opening or
Closing Conditions:

• 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 operation
consumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the bat-
tery 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
K900 Kia dealer.

• Before jacking up the vehicle to

change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the power trunk. Do not oper-
ate the power trunk when the vehi-
cle is raised or this could cause the
power trunk to operate improperly.

• If there are obstacles such as snow

on the power trunk, it may not open
automatically. After removing the
obstacle, try to open it again.

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.

If the automatic stop and reverse fea-
ture operates more than twice during
one opening or closing operation, the
power trunk may stop at that posi-
tion. If this occurs, close the trunk
manually and operate the trunk auto-
matically again.

OKH045021N

To prevent serious injury and
damage take the following pre-
cautions when operating the
power trunk:
- Keep all faces, hands, arms,

body parts and other objects
away from the path of the
power trunk.

- Do not intentionally place any

body parts or objects in the
path of the power trunk to
make sure the automatic stop
and reversal operates.

- Do not allow children to play

with the power trunk.

To Reset the Power Trunk

If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, or if the related fuse
has been replaced or disconnected,
reset the power trunk as follows:
1. Move the shift lever to the P(Park)

position.

2. Close the trunk manually.
If the power trunk doesn't work prop-
erly after performing the above pro-
cedure, have the system checked by
an authorized K900 Kia dealer.

Trunk Lid Control Button

When the trunk lid control button is
ON (depressed), the power trunk can
be controlled with the power trunk
main control button, power trunk
open, close button, and the smart key.
When this trunk lid control button is
OFF (not depressed), the power
trunk can be controlled using the
mechanical key of the smart key only.
Even though the trunk lid control but-
ton is OFF (not depressed), the trunk
will still be propelled upward by
mechanical force if the trunk is man-
ually opened more than 10 degrees
beyond the fully closed position.

In addition, if the trunk is manually
closed to the secondary latch posi-
tion, the trunk will be electrically
moved to the fully latched position.

✽

NOTICE

Close the trunk, and keep the trunk
lid control button in the OFF (not
depressed) position before washing
the vehicle in an automatic car
wash.

OKH043022N

Always keep the Trunk Lid
Control Button in the OFF (not
depressed) position when not
in use. Serious injury or death
can result from unintentional
operation by a child.

NOTICE

If the trunk does not unlock using the

lock feature, open the glove box with
the mechanical key and set the trunk
lid control button to the ON position
(pressed). In this position the trunk
will open with the trunk lid button or
smart key.

Emergency Trunk Safety
Release

Your vehicle is equipped with an
Emergency Trunk Safety Release
lever located inside the trunk. When
someone is inadvertently locked in
the trunk, the trunk can be opened by
moving the lever in the direction of the
arrow and pushing the trunk open.

OKH045024N

NEVER allow anyone to occupy
the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or
totally latched and the person is
unable to get out, serious injury
or death could occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes and
rapid heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather condi-
tions. The trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the event
of a crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but is a
part of the vehicle’s crush zone.
