KIA OWNER’S APP WITH UVO LINK*
6
• Your cellphone and your vehicle have to be connected to a cellular network with a
good wireless signal strength in order to use UVO. If these conditions are not met,
remote commands will fail or will take a long time to execute.
• To use Remote Start or Remote Start with Climate Control feature, all doors, hood
and trunk/lift-gate must be closed and locked. Remote Start or Remote Start with
Climate Control feature will operate for about 10 minutes.
• The quickest way to obtain accurate vehicle status is by pressing a refresh button
on your app or customer web portal.
• Activate Remote Start or Remote Start with Climate Control feature at least 10 minutes before you plan to get into
the vehicle. This will allow vehicle interior to reach a desired temperature.
• In order to preserve vehicle battery, UVO will not work seven days after the ignition was last turned on. You will need
to re-start your vehicle with a key fob in order to use UVO again.

PARKING DISTANCE WARNING-FORWARD AND REVERSE*

deactivate the system, press the Parking Distance Warning-Forward and Reverse button

recognized first.
The Parking Distance Warning-Forward and Reverse is not a substitute for proper and
safe backing-up procedures. Always drive safely and use caution when backing up. The
Parking Distance Warning-Forward and Reverse may not detect every object in front of

SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION
Satellite radio reception requires a direct line of sight with the satellite transmitting the radio
signal. Tunnels, bridges, covered parking, mountainous terrain, tall buildings, heavy foliage,
and other obstacles may momentarily interrupt the signal. This is normal operation, and
reception will be restored within a few seconds in an open, unobstructed area.
The signal can become weak in some areas not covered by the satellite repeater network.
