ate power windows or other
controls, or even make the vehi-
cle move, which could result in

When the smart key does not work
correctly, open and close the door
with the mechanical key. If you
have a problem with the smart key,
contact an authorized Kia dealer.
If the smart key is in close proximi- ty 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 messag-
ing, and/or sending/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.
Do not leave the smart key near metallic objects such as golf bag,
metal case and so on.
Door Lock/Unlock failure or poor starting can occur when the smart
key is placed near metallic objects. Always carry your smart key when
you leave the car. An unattended
smart key close to the vehicle can
cause the vehicle battery to be dis-
charged itself.
The smart key is not completely water-proof. In turn, internal circuit
damage-related malfunction may
occur when the key comes into
contact with moisture (beverage,
water etc.) or is heated. In this
case, warranty repair is not avail-
able.
When the smart key is left with a bunch of keys, the Lock/Unlock
button for doors and liftgate can be
accidently pressed. Pay careful
attention to key use.Remote keyless entry system
