Kia K900: Starting the engine with a smart key
1.Carry the smart key or leave it inside the vehicle.
2.Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied
3.Place the transaxle shift lever in P (Park).
4.Press the ENGINE START/STOP button while depressing the brake pedal.
5.In extremely cold weather (below 0°F / -18°C) or after the vehicle has not been operated for several days, let the engine warm up without depressing the accelerator.
Whether the engine is cold or warm, it should be started without depressing the accelerator.
- Even if the smart key is in the vehicle, but is far away from you, the engine may not start.
- When the ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ACC position or above, if any
door is opened, the system checks for the smart key. If the smart key is not
in the vehicle, the “
” indicator
will blink or the warning "Key not in vehicle" will illuminate on the LCD display. And if all doors are closed, the chime will sound for 5 seconds. The indicator or warning will turn off while the vehicle is moving. Always have the smart key with you.
The engine will start only when the smart key is in the vehicle.
WARNING
Unintended vehicle movement
Never leave the smart key in the vehicle with children or vehicle occupants who are unfamiliar with the vehicle operation. Pushing the ENGINE START/STOP button while the smart key is in the vehicle may result in unintended engine activation and/or unintended vehicle movement.
If the battery is weak or the smart key does not work correctly, you can start the engine by pressing the engine start/stop button with the smart key.
The side with the lock button should contact the engine start/stop button directly.
When you press the engine start/stop button directly with the smart key, the smart key should contact the button at a right angle.
When the stop lamp fuse is blown, you can't start the engine normally. Replace the fuse with a new one. If it is not possible, you can start the engine by pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button for 10 seconds while it is in the ACC position.
The engine can start without depressing the brake pedal. But for your safety always depress the brake pedal before starting the engine.
Do not press the ENGINE START/ STOP button for more than 10 seconds except when the stop lamp fuse is blown.
