Transmitter precautions

The transmitter (or Smart Key) may not work properly if any of the following occurs:

• The ignition key is in the ignition switch.
• You are exceeding the operating distance limit (approximately 30 m [90 ft]).
• The battery in the transmitter (or Smart Key) is weak.
• Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal.
• The weather is very cold.
• The transmitter (or Smart Key) is near a radio transmitter, such as a radio station or airport, which may interfere with normal operation of the transmitter.

When the transmitter (or Smart Key) does not operate properly, lock and unlock the door with the ignition key. If you have a problem with the transmitter (or Smart Key), contact an authorized Kia dealer.

• If the transmitter is in close proximity to your mobile phone or smartphone, the signal from the transmitter may be blocked during normal operation of your mobile phone or smartphone. This is especially likely when the phone is active, for example, making or receiving calls, text messaging, and/or sending or receiving e-mail. Avoid placing the transmitter and your mobile phone or smartphone in the same trouser or jacket pocket, and keep a sufficient distance between the two devices.
