Transmitter precautions

✽ NOTICE

The transmitter will not operate if any of the following occurs:

• The ignition key is in the ignition switch.
• You exceed the operating range limit (approximately 10 m [30 ft]).
• The transmitter battery is weak.
• Other vehicles or objects may block the signal.
• Extremely cold weather.
• The transmitter is near a radio transmitter, such as a radio station or airport, which may interfere with normal transmitter operation.

If the transmitter does not operate properly, open and close the door with the ignition key. If you have a problem with the transmitter, we recommend contacting 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 by the normal operation of your mobile phone or smartphone. This is especially important when the phone is active, such as ringing, receiving calls, text messaging, and/or sending/receiving e-mails. Avoid placing the transmitter and your mobile phone or smartphone in the same pants or jacket pocket, and maintain an adequate distance between the two devices.

CAUTION

• Keep the transmitter away from water or any other liquid. If the keyless entry system does not work due to exposure to water or liquids, it will not be covered by your vehicle manufacturer's warranty.
• Keep the transmitter away from electromagnetic materials, which block electromagnetic waves on the key surface.

CAUTION

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. If the keyless entry system does not work due to changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance, it will not be covered by your vehicle manufacturer's warranty.
