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
operations
Lock (1)
All doors are locked if the lock button
is pressed. If all doors (and liftgate)
are closed, the hazard warning lights
will blink once to indicate that all
doors (and liftgate) are locked.
However, if any door remains open,
the hazard warning lights will not
operate. But if all doors are closed
after the lock button is pressed, the
hazard warning lights will blink once.

The smart key is close to a radio transmitter such as a radio station
or an airport which can interfere
with normal operation of the trans-
mitter.
When the smart key does not work
properly, open and close the door
with the smart key. If you have a
problem with the smart key, contact
an authorized Kia dealer. If the transmitter is in close proxim-
ity to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the trans-
mitter 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 transmitter and
your cell phone or smart phone in

and maintain adequate distance
between the two devices.
