Features of your vehicle
When you turn off the vehicle and open
the driver's door after opening and clos-
ing the rear door or tailgate, the warning
message appears on the cluster.
2nd alert operation
After the first alert, the second alert
operates when any movement is
detected in the vehicle after the driver's
door is closed and all the doors are
locked. The horn will sound for approxi-
mately 25 seconds. Also, a text message
is sent to members of Kia Connect Ser-
vices (if equipped). If the system contin-
ues to detect a movement, the alert
operates up to 8 times. Unlock the doors
with the smart key to stop the alert.
The system detects movement in the
vehicle for 10 minutes after the door is
locked.

cautions

closed. If the window is open, the alert
may operate by the sensor detecting
an unintended movement (e.g. wind
or bugs).

the driver or passenger seat is
detected.
僅 If the doors are locked with a passen-
ger inside the vehicle, the alert may
operate.

ing vibration or noise.
