Kia Picanto: Remote keyless entry / Transmitter precautions
NOTICE
The transmitter will not work if any
of the following occurs:
- The ignition key is in the ignition
switch.
- You exceed the operating distance
limit (about 10 m [30 feet]).
- The battery in the transmitter is
weak.
- Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
- The weather is extremely cold.
- The transmitter is close to a radio
transmitter such as a radio station
or an airport which can interfere
with normal operation of the
transmitter.
When the transmitter does not work
correctly, open and close the door
with the ignition key. If you have a
problem with the transmitter, Kia
recommends to contact an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
• If the transmitter is in close proximity
to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the transmitter
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 call, receiving calls,
text messaging, and/or sending/
receiving emails.
Avoid placing the transmitter and
your cell phone or smart phone in
the same pants or jacket pocket
and maintain adequate distance
between the two devices.

water or any liquid. If the keyless
entry system is inoperative due to
exposure to water or liquids, it will
not be covered by your manufacturer
vehicle warranty.
- Keep the transmitter away from
electromagnetic materials that
blocks electromagnetic waves to
the key surface.
CAUTION

approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void

equipment. If the keyless entry system
is inoperative due to changes or
modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for
compliance, it will not be covered by
your manufacturer’s vehicle warranty.
