Smart key precautions

• If you lose your smart key, you will

not be able to start the engine.

Towing the vehicle to an authorized

dealer may be necessary.

• A maximum of 2 smart keys can be

registered to a single vehicle. If a

smart key is lost, take the vehicle

and remaining key to your author-

ized Kia dealer for reprogramming.

This will not allow the lost key from

starting the vehicle and will protect

from potential theft.

radio transmitter such as a radio

station it can interfere with normal

operation of the smart key sys-

way radio system or a cellular

phone.

being operated close to your

correctly, open and close the door

with the mechanical key. If you

have a problem with the smart key,

contact an authorized Kia dealer.

ty to your cell phone or smart
