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, receiv

sending/receiving emails. Avoid plac

ing 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.

metallic objects such as golf bags,
metal cases and so on.
僅 Door Lock/Unlock failure or poor
starting can occur when the smart key

Smart key immobilizer system
Your vehicle is equipped with an elec
-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the smart key
and electronic devices inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, whenever
you turn the ENGINE START/STOP but
-
ton to the ON position by pressing the
button while carrying the smart key, it
verifies if the smart key is valid. If the
key is determined to be valid, the engine
will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid, the
engine will not start.
To deactivate the immobilizer
system:
Turn the ENGINE START/STOP button to
the ON position by pressing the button
while carrying the smart key.
In order to prevent theft of your vehicle,
do not leave spare keys anywhere in
your vehicle.
To activate the immobilizer sys
-
tem:
Turn the ENGINE START/STOP button to
the OFF position. The immobilizer sys
-
tem activates automatically. Without a
valid smart key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
When starting the engine, do not use the
key with other immobilizer keys around.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separate in order to avoid a starting
malfunction.
If you need additional keys or lose your
keys, contact an authorized Kia dealer.
