- If you lose your smart key, you will not be able to start the engine. Tow
the vehicle, if necessary, and contact an authorized Kia dealer.
- A maximum of 2 smart keys can be registered to a single vehicle. If you
lose a smart key, you should immediately take the vehicle and key to your authorized
Kia dealer to protect it from potential theft.
- The smart key will not work if any of following occurs:
- The smart key is close to a radio transmitter such as a radio station or an
airport which can interfere with normal operation of the smart key.
- The smart key is near a mobile two way radio system or a cellular phone.
- Another vehicle’s smart key is being operated close to your vehicle.
If the smart key does not work correctly, you may lock and unlock the door with
the mechanical key. If you have a problem with the smart key, contact an authorized
Kia dealer.
- If the smart key is in close proximity to your cell phone or smart phone,
the signal from the smart key could be blocked by normal operation of your cell
phone or smart phone. This is especially important when the phone is active
such as making calls, receiving calls, text messaging, and/or sending/receiving
emails. Avoid placing the smart key and your cell phone or smart phone in the
same pants or jacket pocket and maintain adequate distance between the two devices.
- Do not leave the smart key near metallic objects such as golf bags, metal
cases and so on.
- Door Lock/Unlock failure or poor starting can occur when the smart key is
placed near metallic objects.
- Always carry your smart key when you leave the car. An unattended smart
key close to the vehicle can cause the vehicle battery to be discharged.
- Internal circuit damage may occur when the key comes into contact with moisture
(beverage, water etc.) or heat. In this case, warranty repair is not available.
Damage to the smart key due to exposure to liquids or heat is not covered by
the manufacturer's vehicle warranty.
- When the smart key is left with a bunch of keys, the Lock/Unlock button
for doors and liftgate can be accidently pressed. Pay careful attention to key
use.
CAUTION - Transmitter
