Smart key precautions
The smart key may not work if any of the following occur:
-
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 smart key.
-
The smart key is near a mobile two-way radio system or a mobile phone.
-
Another vehicle's smart key is being operated close to your vehicle.
When the smart key does not work correctly, open and close the door with the mechanical key and contact an authorized Kia dealer.
If the smart key is near your phone, the signal from the smart key could be blocked by normal operation of your phone. This is especially important when the phone is active, such as when making calls, receiving calls, text messaging, and/or sending/receiving emails. Avoid placing the smart key and your phone in the same pants or jacket pocket and maintain adequate distance between the two devices.
Transmitter
Keep the transmitter away from water or any liquid, as it can be damaged and not function properly.
If the keyless entry system is inoperable from exposure to water or other liquids, it will not be covered by your warranty.
To prevent the electronic key from becoming damaged by magnetic fields, do not leave it near the following electrical appliances:
-
TVs
-
Personal computers
-
Mobile phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
-
Table lamps
-
Induction cookers
If you must leave the vehicle's key with a parking attendant, remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the electronic key only.
When bringing a smart key onto an airplane, make sure you do not press any button on the key while inside the cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc., make sure that the buttons cannot be pressed accidentally. If you press a button, the key may emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
