It's not necessary to have your Kia key in your hand to open the doors or start the engine. Here are some innovative Kia key fob hacks:
Locking the doors
Kia models are increasingly fitted with remote starters, push-button start and smart key fobs. G28CarKeys manage various functions, including locking and unlocking doors. Certain key fob functions also control the trunk or lift gate dependent on the model of your car. If your car doesn't start it could be because the key fob is dead. You can find out more about the function of your key fob by reading the owner's guide or talking to an employee of our team.
The Kia smart keys do not have anti-theft computers chips that stop thieves from taking a vehicle. A recent study by the insurance industry claimed that vehicles without these computer chips are stolen twice as often as other vehicles. Kia has responded to this problem by offering steering wheel locks for free of charge to dealers in affected areas.
You can unlock the door of your Kia by pressing the lock button repeatedly. The unlock button can be used to unlock all doors and the trunk. However it will only work when the door handle sensor recognizes your smart key within 0.7 seconds. 1 m (28 40 in). If you do not close any of the doors within 30 seconds the doors will automatically shut.
The engine is started
It is important to know how to utilize the key fob that is in your Kia vehicle to start the engine. These systems are confusing for novice drivers and require additional steps to activate. This article will guide you through the various features and functions of the Kia's key fob, such as how to start the engine and unlock the doors.
First press the lock button on your key fob to secure the doors. Press and hold the remote-start button for at least 2 seconds before you begin your car. If remote start doesn't work it could be because your vehicle is using an entirely different type of battery than that in the key fob. If this is the case you need to attempt to test the remote again using a new battery in your keyfob.
You can also use the panic button on the fob of your keys to set the alarm of your vehicle's panic system. This feature is useful when you are driving in a parking lot that you are not familiar with and wish to scare off potential thieves. However, this feature should never be used by children or other people who have access to your vehicle. In certain situations pressing the panic button could cause the engine to start automatically. The engine will only run for 10 minutes when you are inside the vehicle.
Trunk opening
A trunk that opens automatically with no the requirement to open your keys is a great feature in your Kia Delray. If you own a more recent model that has this feature, it's easy to use: just keep your feet within 3 inches of the rear of the vehicle with your key fob in range and the trunk will open automatically. This is only one of the many sophisticated convenience features offered in the new Kia models.
If your trunk doesn't open when you press the lock button on your key fob, there are a few options you may try before calling an repair shop. It's usually due to a weak connection between the trunk lever and the lock mechanism. A car parts store will usually complete this simple fix.
The trunk latch can also be broken. This can happen if you hit the door too hard or the trunk lid is open when driving. In this instance you might need to replace the trunk latch. Fortunately, there are several options to replace it such as using a locksmith or your dealer. It is not recommended to disassemble the latch on your trunk on your own. This is a risky procedure that could cause damage to the trunk.
Remote start
It is easy to start your Kia using your key fob when you are in a hurry to leave the parking lot of a grocery store. Press the lock button 3 times to start the engine. To avoid emissions violations and to conform to the regulations of your country, you should not allow the engine to idle for a long time.
When using a Kia remote to start your vehicle there are some things to remember. You'll also have to be within a radius of 10 meters. The engine can only be started if you have the shift lever in the N (manual) or P (automatic) position. You will also need to be able to see the engine of the vehicle, which is why it's best to have someone along with you.
If your Kia is equipped with an immobilizer system, you'll be unable to start it using your key fob. This system is designed to prevent thieves from trying to start your car by using the screwdriver or USB cable. It works by transmitting the key fob's number to the chip that is on the ignition switch.
You can find out if your Kia is equipped with this feature by looking at the key fob. Most Kia Optima models have this feature but it's not the case for all models.
