Precautions
WARNING
Never leave the keys in your vehicle with unsupervised children. Leaving children unat-
tended in a vehicle with the smart key is dangerous even if the EV button is not in the ACC
or ON position. Children copy adults and they could press the EV button. The key would
enable children to operate power windows or other controls, or even make the vehicle
move, which could result in serious bodily injury or death.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the smart key, don't drop it, get it wet, or expose it to heat or sunlight.

僅 If, for some reason, you happen to lose your key, you will not be able to start the vehicle.
Tow the vehicle, if necessary, contact a professional workshop. Kia recommends to con-
tact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
僅 When the key does not work properly, open and close the door with the mechanical key.

ner. Remove the key code tag and store it in a safe place. Also, record the key code num-
ber and keep it in a safe place (not in the vehicle).
