Smart key precautions
• If you lose your smart key, you will
not be able to start the engine. Tow
the vehicle, if necessary, and con-
tact 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 sta-
tion or an airport which can inter-
fere with normal operation of the
smart key.
- The smart key is near a mobile
two-way radio system or a cellu-
lar phone.
- Another vehicle’s smart key is
being operated close to your
vehicle.
When the smart key does not work
correctly, open and close 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 proximi-
ty 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 send-
ing/receiving emails. Avoid placing
the smart key and your cell phone
or smart phone in the same pants
or jacket pocket and maintain ade-
quate 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 dis-
charged.
• Internal circuit damage may occur
when the key comes into contact
with moisture (beverage, water
etc.) or heat. Damage to the smart
key due to exposure to liquids or
heat is not covered by the manu-
facturer's vehicle warranty.
CAUTION - Transmitter
Keep the smart key away from
water or any liquid as it can
become damaged and not func-
tion properly.
