MyVans Your Vehicle Solution If you own a Kia with a traditional key, starting your car is a straightforward process. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Insert the Key
First, make sure the transmission is in Park and the parking brake is engaged. Then, insert the key into the ignition switch, located on the right side of the steering column.
Step 2: Turn the Key
Next, turn the key clockwise to start the engine. If your Kia has an automatic transmission, you’ll need to hold down the brake pedal while turning the key. If your Kia has a manual transmission, you’ll need to depress the clutch pedal while turning the key.
Step 3: Release the Key
Once the engine has started, release the key. The engine should continue running on its own.
Step 4: Check Dashboard Indicators
Take a moment to look at the dashboard indicators. Make sure all warning lights have turned off and that the gauges are showing normal readings.
Step 5: Adjust Climate Controls
If needed, adjust the climate controls to your desired settings. This may include turning on the air conditioning or heating, adjusting the fan speed, or changing the temperature.
Step 6: Buckle Up and Go
Finally, buckle up and hit the road! Remember to always drive safely and follow traffic laws.
