SMART KEY
Record your key number
The key code number
is stamped on the bar
code tag attached to
the key set.
Should you lose your keys, this number
will enable an authorized Kia dealer to
duplicate the keys easily. Remove the
bar code tag and store it in a safe
place. Also, record the code number and
keep it in a safe and handy place, but
not in the vehicle.

and hold the release button(1) and re‐
move the mechanical key (2).
To reinstall the mechanical key, put the

click sound is heard.
With a smart key, you can lock or un‐
lock a door (and tailgate) and start the
vehicle.

WARNING
n Smart key
Never leave the keys in your vehicle
with unsupervised children. Leaving
children unattended in a vehicle with
the Smart key is dangerous even if
the start button is not in the ACC or
ON position.
Children copy adults and they could
press the start 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.
