NOTICE
- If you lose the smart key for any reason, you will not be able to start the engine. When towing the vehicle is necessary, contact a professional repair shop. Kia recommends contacting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
- No more than 2 smart keys can be registered to one vehicle. If you lose a smart key, Kia recommends contacting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
- The smart key may not operate properly if it is near:
- A radio transmitter, such as a radio station or airport, which may interfere with normal smart key operation.
- A mobile phone, two-way radio system, or cellular phone.
- A smart key of another vehicle operating near your vehicle.
If the smart key does not operate properly, lock and unlock the door with the mechanical key. If you have a problem with the smart key, Kia recommends contacting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner. - 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 likely when the phone is in use, such as making or receiving calls, sending or receiving text messages and/or e-mails. Avoid placing the smart key and your mobile phone or smartphone in the same trouser or jacket pocket, and keep an adequate distance between the two devices.
CAUTION
Keep the smart key away from water or any other liquid. If the smart key system does not operate due to exposure to water or liquids, it will not be covered by the vehicle manufacturer's warranty.
