Disarmed stage
The system will be disarmed when:
Transmitter
- The door unlock button is pressed.
- The engine is started.
- The ignition switch is in the "ON" position for 30 seconds or more.
Smart Key
- The door unlock button is pressed.
- The outside front door handle button is pressed while the electronic key is detected.
- The engine is started.
After the doors are unlocked, the hazard warning lights will flash twice to indicate that the system is disarmed.
After pressing the unlock button, if any door (or the tailgate) is not opened within 30 seconds, the system will re-arm.
✽ NOTICE
- Without smart key system: If the system is not disarmed with the transmitter, insert the key into the ignition switch and start the engine. The system will then be disarmed.
- With smart key system: If the system is not disarmed with the smart key, open the door with the mechanical key and start the engine. The system will then be disarmed.
- If you lose your keys, it is recommended that you contact an authorized Kia dealer.
