Smart key functions
Carrying the smart key, you may lock and unlock the vehicle doors and trunk, and start the engine.
Locking

Pressing the button of the front driver side door handles with all doors (and trunk) closed and any door unlocked, locks all the doors (and trunk). If all doors, trunk and hood are closed, the hazard warning lights will blink once and the chime will sound once to indicate the vehicle is locked.
The button will only operate when the smart key is within 28~40 inches (0.7~1 m) from the driver side door handle. To make sure that a door has locked, you should pull the driver side door handle.
Even though you press the driver side door handle buttons, the doors will not lock and the chime will sound for 3 seconds if any of following occur:
-
The smart key is in the vehicle.
-
The ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ACC or ON position.
-
Any door except the trunk is open.
Unlocking
Pressing the button of the front outside door handle, with all doors (and trunk) closed and locked, unlocks all the doors (and trunk), if the 2 Press Unlock function is deactivated.
The button will only operate when the smart key is within 28~40 inches (0.7~1 m) from the outside door handle.
When the 2 Press Unlock function is activated:
-
If you press the Door Unlock button on the smart key, the driver's door will unlock.
-
If you press the Door Unlock button on the smart key within four seconds again, all the doors will unlock.
-
If you press the driver's outside door handle button, the driver's door will unlock.
-
If you press the driver's outside door handle button within four seconds again, all the doors will unlock.
You can activate or deactivate 2 Press Unlock setting function by selecting 'User Settings (LCD display) or Settings → Vehicle (Infotainment System screen) → Door →2 Press Unlock'.
Trunk unlocking
If you are within 28~40 inches (0.7~1 m) from the outside trunk handle, with your smart key in possession, the trunk will unlock and open when you press the trunk handle switch.
The hazard warning lights will blink twice to indicate that the trunk is unlocked.
Also, once the trunk is opened and then closed, the trunk will lock automatically.
Start-up
You can start the engine without inserting the key.

If you lose your smart key, you will not be able to start the vehicle. You should immediately take the vehicle and remaining key to your authorized Kia dealer (tow the vehicle, if necessary) to protect it from potential theft.
