If the power windows on your Kia Cee’d stop operating correctly, the window control system may need to be initialized. This procedure resets the automatic window function and restores normal operation.
This guide applies to Kia Cee’d (ED) models produced between 2007 and 2012.

- The window stops before reaching the fully closed position
- The vehicle battery was recently disconnected

Power Window Initialization Procedure

Important Notes
- Ensure the ignition remains switched on during the entire procedure.
