Keyless Entry System

Keyless entry systems are widely used on automobiles. This system makes use of radio signals instead of traditional keys that require you to insert the keys into the lock, turn them around and then remove them. When the car is aware that the key fob is in the range of the key, it will open or start the engine. Certain systems also allow the driver to open the trunk and windows by pushing an appropriate button on the key fob.

A keyless system can be more convenient, especially in colder weather, since it avoids having to insert the key into the lock and could protect the mechanism of the lock due to dirt or ice. It is important to remember that a keyless car lock cannot function in the event of a power outage or if the battery in the vehicle goes out. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a spare key in your vehicle's glovebox.

Some require you to flick or rotate the switch prior to pressing the start button, while other systems run pre-start safety checks to make sure that the car is in park and that your foot is firmly on the brake. Other safety tips include reading the owner's manual, observing basic safety practices and watching NHTSA video on keyless ignition.

Remote Control

The Remote Control System in your Kia makes your life easier by allowing users to lock and unlock your vehicle at any time and from anywhere. This is accomplished through a pair of sensors located inside the Kia key fob that communicate with your vehicle's standard immobiliser systems which are within the engine control unit (ECU).

When you press one of the buttons for operation on your key fob it sends information that indicates the selected key was activated to a data generator 103. The data generator 103 then generates trigger data that indicates the selected function and sends it to a transmitter. The transmitter 104 modulates infrared lights using the trigger information and transmits it to the remote control interface 109.

A receiver 110 in the remote control interface 109 takes the modulated infrared light and demodulates it to recover the control code within the carrier wave. The remote control interface sends the control codes to the electronic device, which activates the desired functions according to the code.

The battery inside your Kia smart key or remote key fob can last for a long time, but it will eventually have to be replaced. You can replace the battery yourself using a thin tool to pry off the cover. Then, you can replace it with a new one (CR2032). If you're not certain which battery to choose, you can contact an authorized kia transponder key dealer or service partner. When you change the battery, be sure to dispose of it properly according to local laws and regulations.
