Kia Stinger: Smart key / Immobilizer system
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic engine immobilizer system to reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle use.
Whenever the ENGINE START/STOP button is changed to the ON position, the immobilizer system checks and verifies if the key is valid or not.
If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will not start.
✽ NOTICE
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.
To deactivate the immobilizer system
Change the ENGINE START/STOP button to the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer system
Change the ENGINE START/STOP button to the OFF position. The immobilizer system activates automatically. Without a valid smart key for your vehicle, the engine will not start.
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.

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