Transmitter precautions
NOTICE
The transmitter will not work if any
of the following occurs:
The ignition key is in the ignition
switch.
You exceed the operating dis -
tance limit (about 10 m [30 feet]).
The battery in the transmitter is
weak.
Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
The weather is extremely cold.
The transmitter is close to a radio
transmitter such as a radio sta -
tion or an airport which can inter -
fere with normal operation of the
transmitter.
When the transmitter does not
work correctly, open and close the
door with the ignition key. If you
have a problem with the transmitter
Kia recommends to contact an
authorised Kia dealer/service part -
ner.
If the transmitter is in close prox -
imity 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, receiv -
ing calls, text messaging, and/or
sending/receiving emails.
