Disarmed stage

The system disarms when:

  • You press the door unlock button.

  • You press the button on the front outside door handle with the smart key in your possession.

  • You start the vehicle (within 3 seconds).

After you press the unlock button, the hazard warning lights will blink, and the chime will sound twice (in the smart key) to indicate that the system is disarmed.

After you press the unlock button, if you do not open any door (or liftgate) within 30 seconds, the system will rearm.

TIP

  • Avoid trying to start the vehicle while the alarm is activated. The vehicle starting motor is disabled during the theft-alarm stage.

  • If you lose your keys, consult an authorized Kia dealer.

  • Malfunctions caused by improper alterations, adjustments, or modifications to the theft-alarm system are not covered by your vehicle manufacturer warranty.

NOTE
