Киа рио 2010 инструкция по эксплуатации

kkiiaa,, tthhee ccoommppaannyy

Congratulations! Your selection of a Kia was a wise investment. It
will give you years of driving pleasure. Now that you are the owner of
a Kia vehicle, you’ll probably be asked a lot of questions about your
vehicle and the company like “What is a Kia?”, “Who is Kia?”, “What
does ‘Kia’ mean?”.

Here are some answers. First, Kia is the oldest car company in Korea.
It is a company that has thousands of employees focused on building
high-quality vehicles at affordable prices.

The first syllable, Ki, in the word “Kia” means “to arise from to the
world” or “to come up out of to the world.” The second syllable, a,
means “Asia.” So, the word Kia, means “to arise from” or “to come
up out of Asia to the world.”

Drive safely and enjoy your Kia!

i

knows your vehicle best. Your dealer has factory-trained tech­nicians, recommended special tools, genuine Kia replacement

37

Knowing your vehicle

Your vehicle is equipped with an elec­tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.

Your immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the ignition key,
and antenna coil in the key cylinder and
Immobilizer Control Unit (or Smartra
Unit).

With this system, whenever you insert
your ignition key into the ignition switch
and turn it to ON, the antenna coil in the
ignition switch receives a signal from the
transponder in the ignition key and then
sends the signal to the ECU (Engine
Control Unit).

The ECU checks the signal whether the
ignition key is valid.

If the key is determined to be valid, the
engine will start.

If the key is determined to be invalid, the
engine will not start.

To deactivate the immobilizer
system:

Insert the ignition key into the key cylin­der and turn it to the ON position.

To activate the immobilizer sys­tem:

Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
The immobilizer system activates auto­matically. Without a valid ignition key for
your vehicle, the engine will not start.

✽✽

NOTICE

When starting the engine, do not use the
key with other immobilizer keys around.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separately not to have any malfunc­tion after you receive your new vehicle.

Limp home (override) procedure

When you turn the ignition key to the ON
position, if the IMMO indicator goes off
after blinking 5 times, your transponder
equipped in the ignition key is out of order .
You cannot start the engine without the
lime home procedure.To start the engine,
you have to input your password by using
the ignition switch.

The following procedure is how to input
your password of “2345” as an example.

1.Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
The IMMO indicator ( ) will blink 5
times and go off indicating the begin­ning of the limp home procedure.

2.Turn the ignition key to the ACC posi­tion.

IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

CAUTION

Do not put metal accessories near
the key or ignition key.

The engine may not start for the
metal accessories may interrupt the
transponder signal from normally
transmitting.

WARNING

In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
Immobilizer password is a cus­tomer unique password and should
be kept confidential. Do not leave
this number anywhere in your vehi­cle.

Knowing your vehicle

3.To enter the first digit (in this example
“2”), turn the ignition key to the ON and
ACC position twice. Perfor m the same
procedure for the next digits between 3
seconds and 10 seconds (for example ,
for “3”, turn the ignition ON and ACC 3
times).

within 30 seconds. If you attempt to
start the engine after 30 seconds, the
engine will not start and you will have
to input your password again.

After performing the limp home proce­dure, you have to see an authorized Kia
dealer immediately to inspect and repair
your ignition key or immobilizer system.

✽✽

NOTICE

of limp home procedure, have your vehi­cle towed by an authorized Kia dealer
for inspection and necessary repairs.

✽✽

NOTICE

The transponder in your ignition key is
an important part of the immobilizer
system. It is designed to give years of
troublefree service, however you should
avoid exposure to moisture, static elec­tricity and rough handling.
Immobilizer system malfunction could
occur.

✽✽

NOTICE

Do not change, alter or adjust the immo­bilizer system because it could cause the
immobilizer system to malfunction and
should only be serviced by an author­ized Kia dealer.
Malfunctions caused by improper alter­ations, adjustments or modifications to
the immobilizer system are not covered
by your vehicle manufacturer warranty.

This device complies with Industry
Canada Standard RSS-210.

1. Pull the seat slide adjustment lever
under the front edge of the seat cush­ion up and hold it.

2. Slide the seat to the desired position.

3. Release the lever and make sure the
seat is locked in place.

Adjust the seat before driving, and make
sure the seat is locked securely by trying
to move forward and backward without
using the control knob.If the seat moves,
it is not locked properly.

WARNING — Loose objects

Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the opera­tion of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Loose objects
might interfere with the seat slide
mechanism. Do not place anything
under the front seats.

WARNING

• Children should never be left
unattended in the car.

• In order to avoid unnecessary air
bag injuries including the possi­bility of severe injury or death,
always sit as far back as possible
by moving the seat far back,while
still maintaining good vehicle
control. Serious injury or death
may be caused due to the deploy­ment of the passenger’s air bag.

WARNING — Driver’s seat

• Never attempt to adjust seat while
the vehicle is moving. This could
result in loss of control, and an
accident causing death, serious
injury,or property damage.

• Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.

• Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por­tion of the safety belt, or lap belt,
snug and low across the hips.
This position puts your safety
belts in the best position to pro­tect you in case of an accident.

• In order to avoid unnecessary air
bag injuries including the possi­bility of severe injury or death,
always sit as far back as possible
from the steering wheel so that
your chest is away at least 10
inches (250 mm) away from the
steering wheel.

Warming the front seat (if equipped)

The front seats can be electrically heated
individually when the ignition switch is
ON.

When you depress the seat warmer
switch, a thermostat regulates seat tem­perature. To deactivate the heating sys­tem, depress the switch once again.

✽✽

NOTICE

• The seat warmer may not operate if

ambient temperature is warm enough.

• If the seat warmer doesn’t work when

the ambient temperature is below
24°C (75°F), have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.

• When cleaning the seats, do not use an

organic solvent such as thinner, ben­zene, alcohol and gasoline. Doing so
may damage the surface of the heater
or seats.

• To prevent overheating the seat

warmer, do not place blankets, cush­ions or seat covers on the seats while
the seat warmer is in operation.

• Do not place heavy or sharp objects

on seats equipped with seat warmers.
Damage to the seat warming compo­nents could occur.

OJB030019A

Headrest

The driver’s and front passenger’s seats
are equipped with a headrest for the
occupant’s safety and comfort.

The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps to protect the head and neck
in the event of a collision.

Adjusting the height up and down

To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the head­rest, push and hold the release button (2)
on the headrest support and lower the
headrest to the desired position (3).

OBH038075L

WARNING

• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height of the center of gravity of
an occupant’s head. Generally,
the center of gravity of most peo­ple’s head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.

• Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed as severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide pr otection
against neck injuries when prop­erly adjusted.

• Do not adjust the headrest posi­tion of the driver’s seat while the
vehicle is in motion.
