The Kia Sportage Ignition Switch allows the driver to energize the engine and components in one simple turn or the push of a button, serving as the vehicle's gatekeeper of power and security. Early Kia Sportage versions were based on a column-mounted Ignition Switch connected to the keyed lock cylinder, thus turning the appropriate key to START would supply battery current to the starter motor, then to ON would keep the motor running, while ACC would supply power to the radio and windows and LOCK would shut down power and immobilize the steering wheel. Government theft rules pushed this layout, but even there thieves pried out the cylinder forcing coded keys to make the Ignition Switch let in spark or fuel, as required by the computer. Modern Kia Sportage models switch to a push-button Ignition Switch that combines with a pocket fob, the use of the car computer and a brake pedal check, which reduces the number of moving parts and makes starting faster, while auto stop and restart in traffic saves fuel, which is appreciated by Sportage owners. Regardless of type, worn keys, tumblers or internal contacts inside the Ignition Switch can leave a Kia stranded through no-crank, stalling or flickering component symptoms.
