Transmitter precautions
The smart key will not work if any of
the following occurs:
• Another vehicle s smart key is being
operated close to your vehicle.
• You exceed the operating distance
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 smart key is close to a radio
transmitter such as a radio station or
an airport which can interfere with
normal operation of the transmitter.

• 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.
When the smart key does not work
correctly, open and close the door with
the mechanical key. If you have a prob‐
lem with the smart key, we recom‐
mend that you contact an authorized
Kia dealer.
CAUTION
Keep the smart key away from wa‐
ter or any liquid. If the smart key is
inoperative due to exposure to water
or other liquids, it will not be covered
by your manufacturer's vehicle war‐
ranty.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications not ex‐
pressly approved by the party re‐
sponsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment. If the keyless entry sys‐
tem is inoperative due to changes or
modifications not expressly
proved by the party responsible for
compliance, it will not be covered by
your manufacturer's vehicle warran‐
ty.
