Smart Key Precautions
- 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 one vehicle. If you lose a smart key, take the vehicle and the key to your authorized Kia dealer immediately to protect against possible theft.
- The smart key will not work if any of the following occurs:
- The smart key is near a radio transmitter, such as a radio station or airport, which may interfere with normal operation of the smart key.
- The smart key is near a mobile phone, two-way radio system, or cellular phone.
- A smart key for another vehicle is operated near your vehicle.
If the smart key malfunctions, you can lock and unlock the door with the mechanical key. If you have problems with the smart key, contact an authorized Kia dealer. - If the smart key is in close proximity to your mobile phone or smartphone, the signal from the smart key may be blocked by normal operation of your mobile phone or smartphone.
This is especially important when the phone is active, for example making calls, receiving calls, sending text messages, and/or sending/receiving e-mails. Avoid placing the smart key and your mobile phone or smartphone in the same pants or jacket pocket, and keep a sufficient distance between the two devices.
