- If you lose your smart key for any reason, you will not be able to start the engine. Tow the vehicle and, if necessary, have it serviced at a qualified workshop. 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 will not work if one of the following occurs:
- The smart key is near a radio transmitter, such as a broadcasting station or airport radio, which may interfere with normal operation of the electronic key.
- The smart key is near a mobile radio or cellular phone.
- A smart key for another vehicle is being used near your vehicle.
If the electronic key does not operate properly, open and close the door using 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 cellular phone or smartphone, the signal from the Smart Key may be blocked by normal operation of your cellular phone or smartphone. This is especially important when the phone is active, such as making or receiving calls, sending or receiving text messages and/or e-mails. Do not place the Smart Key and cellular phone or smartphone in the same trouser or jacket pocket, and keep a sufficient distance between the two devices.
CAUTION
Keep the smart key away from water or any other liquid. If the keyless entry system does not operate due to exposure to water or liquids, it is not covered by your vehicle manufacturer's warranty.
