Lock (1)

All doors are locked if the lock button on the smart key or the touch sensor on the door handle is pressed. If all doors are closed, the hazard warning lights will blink and the chime will sound once to indicate that all doors are locked.

Also, if the lock button or the touch sensor is pressed once more within 4 seconds, the hazard warning lights will blink and the chime will sound once to confirm that the door is locked.

However, if any door remains open, the hazard warning lights (and/or the chime) will not operate. But if all doors are closed after the lock button/sensor is pressed, the hazard warning lights will blink once.

The driver's side is unlocked if the unlock button on the smart key is pressed once or the hand is detected in the door handle pocket. The hazard warning lights will blink twice and the chime will sound twice to indicate that the driver's door is unlocked.

All the doors are unlocked if the unlock button on the smart key is pressed once more or the hand is detected in the door handle pocket again within 4 seconds. The hazard warning lights will blink (for smart key, the chime also sounds) twice again to indicate that all doors are unlocked. After pressing this button/hand is detected, the doors will lock automatically unless you open any door within 30 seconds.

If you attempt to lock or unlock the door by pressing the button/sensor or putting hand inside the door handle pocket in any of the following situations, the door will not be locked or unlocked.

• When you want to lock or unlock the door in the ACC or ON state.

Smart key precautions

• The smart key will 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 cellular 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 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 when making calls, receiving calls, text messaging, 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 distance between the two devices.

• To prevent the electronic key from becoming damaged by magnetic fields, do not leave it near the following electrical appliances:

  • TVs

  • Personal computers

  • Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers

  • Table lamps

  • Induction cookers

• If you have to 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 key with wireless remote control function 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.
