Kia Sportage: Smart key

With a smart key, you can lock or unlock a door (and tailgate) and even start the engine without inserting the key.

The functions of the buttons on a smart key are similar to the remote keyless entry.

Lock (1)

All doors (and tailgate) are locked if the lock button is pressed.

If all doors (and tailgate) are closed, the hazard warning lights will blink and chime sounds once to indicate that all doors (and tailgate) are locked.

However, if any door (or tailgate) remains open, the hazard warning lights will not operate. But if all doors (and tailgate) are closed after the lock button is pressed, the hazard warning lights will blink once.

Unlock (2)

The driver's door is unlocked if the unlock button is pressed once. The hazard warning lights will blink and chime sounds twice to indicate that the driver's door is unlocked.

All doors (and tailgate) are unlocked if the unlock button is pressed once more within 4 seconds. The hazard warning lights will blink and chime sounds twice again to indicate that all doors (and tailgate) are unlocked.

After pressing this button, the doors (and tailgate) will be locked automatically unless you open any door within 30 seconds.

2 stage unlocking may be disabled or re-enabled by simultaneously pressing the Lock (1) and Unlock (2) button for 4 seconds (disabling 2 stage unlock allows all vehicle doors to unlock simultaneously). The hazard warning lights will blink 4 times to indicate that 2 stage unlock was enabled or disabled.

Tailgate unlock (3)

The tailgate is unlocked if the button is pressed for more than 1 second.

The hazard warning lights will blink twice to indicate that the tailgate is unlocked.

However, after pressing this button, the tailgate will lock automatically unless you open the tailgate within 30 seconds.

Also, once the tailgate is opened and then closed, the tailgate will lock automatically.

Alarm (4)

The horn sounds and the hazard warning lights blink for about 30 seconds if this button is pressed for more than 0.5 seconds. To stop the horn and lights, press any button on the transmitter.
