Kia Forte: Remote keyless entry / Transmitter precautions

The transmitter (or smart key) will not work if any of following occurs:

• The ignition key is in the ignition switch.
• You exceed the operating distance limit (about 30 m [90 feet]).
• The battery in the transmitter (or smart key) is weak.
• Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal.
• The weather is extremely cold.
• The transmitter (or smart key) 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 (or smart key) does not work properly, open and close the door with the ignition key. If you have a problem with the transmitter (or smart key), contact an authorized Kia dealer.

• 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 calls, 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.
