With a smart key, you can lock or unlock
a door (and tailgate) and even start the
engine without inserting the key.
The functions of the buttons on a smart
key are similar to the remote keyless
entry. (Refer to the “Remote keyless
entry” in this section.)

Carrying the smart key, you may lock and
unlock the vehicle doors (and tailgate).
Also, you may start the engine. Refer to
the following, for more details.Locking
Pressing the button of the front outside door handles with all doors (and tailgate)
closed and any door unlocked, locks all
the doors (and tailgate). The hazard
warning lights will blink once to indicate
that all doors (and tailgate) are locked.
The button will only operate when the
smart key is within 0.7 m (28 in.) from the
outside door handle. If you want to make
sure that a door has locked or not, you
should check the door lock button inside
the vehicle or pull the outside door han-
dle. Even though you press the button, the
doors will not lock and the chime sounds

The smart key is in the vehicle.
The ENGINE START/STOP button is in
the ACC or ON position.
Any door except the tailgate is opened.

door handle.
When the smart key is recognized in the area of 0.7 m (28 in.) from the front out-
side door handle, other people can alsoopen a door without possession of the
smart key.

(if equipped)
When the ENGINE START/STOP button
is in the ACC or ON position, if any door
is open, the system checks for the smart
key. If the smart key is not in the vehicle,
the indicator will blink, and if all doors areclosed, the chime (if equipped) will also
sound for about 5 seconds. The indicator
will go off while the vehicle is moving.
Keep the smart key in the vehicle or
insert it in the smart key holder.
Key reminder warning chime (if equipped)
If the driver’s door is opened while the
ignition key is left in the ignition switch
(ACC or LOCK position), the key
reminder warning chime will sound. This
is to prevent you from locking your keys
in the vehicle. The chime sounds until the
key is removed from the ignition switch or
the driver’s door is closed.
Glow indicator (Diesel engine)
The indicator illuminates when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position. The
engine can be started after the preheat
indicator light goes off. The illuminating
time varies with the water temperature,
air temperature and battery condition.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the engine does not start within 10
seconds after the preheating is complet-
ed, turn the ignition key once more to
the LOCK position for 10 seconds, and
then to the ON position, in order to pre-
heat again.
Fuel filter warning light (Diesel engine)
This warning light illuminates for 3 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is set to the
ON position and then it will go off. If it
lights up while the engine is running, it
indicates that water has accumulated
inside the fuel filter. If this happens,
remove the water from the fuel filter. For
more information, refer to “Fuel filter” insection 7.
CAUTION
When the fuel filter warning light is illuminated, engine power (vehicle
speed & idle speed) may decrease. If you keep driving with the warninglight on, you can damage your vehi- cle's engine parts and injection sys-
tem of the Common Rail.
If this occurs, have your vehiclechecked by an authorized KIA deal- er as soon as possible.
