Smart key precautions
If you lose your smart key, you will notbe able to start the hybrid system. Tow
the vehicle, if necessary, and contact
an authorized Kia dealer.
A maximum of 2 smart keys can be registered to a single vehicle. If you
lose a smart key, you should immedi-
ately take the vehicle and key to your
authorized Kia dealer to protect it from
potential theft.
The smart key will not work if any of fol- lowing occurs:

an airport which can interfere with
normal operation of the smart key.

- Another vehicle’s smart key is being operated close to your vehicle.
When the smart key does not work cor-
rectly, open and close the door with the
mechanical key. If you have a problem
with the smart key, contact an author-
ized Kia dealer. If the smart key is in close proximity to
your cell phone or smart phone, the
signal from the smart key could be
blocked by normal operation of your
cell phone or smart phone. This is
especially important when the phone is
active such as making call, receiving
calls, text messaging, and/or send-
ing/receiving emails. Avoid placing the
smart key and your cell phone or smart
phone in the same pants or jacket
pocket and maintain adequate dis-
tance between the two devices. This device complies with industry
