Smart key precautions
The smart key will not work if anyof the following occur:
- The smart key is close to a radio transmitter such as a radio sta-
tion or an airport which can inter-
fere with normal operation of the
smart key.
- The smart key is near a mobile two way radio system or a cellu-
lar phone.
- Another vehicle’s smart key is being operated close to your
vehicle.
When the smart key does not work correctly, open and close the door
with the mechanical key and contact
an authorized Kia dealer. If the smart key is in close proximi-
ty 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 making a call, receiving
calls, text messaging, and/or send-
ing/receiving emails. Avoid placing
the smart key and your cell phone
or smart phone in the same pants
or jacket pocket and maintain ade-
quate distance between the two
devices.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If the keyless entry system is inoper-
ative due to exposure to water or liq-
uids, it will not be covered by your
manufacturer’s vehicle warranty.
CAUTION
Keep the smart key away from
water or any liquid as it canbecome damaged and not func-tion properly.
