The key fob lets you to unlock your Picanto, and then start it. The key also has a built in security chip that disarms the car's standard immobiliser system.

The key fob is useful for locking and unlocking your car, whether at the store with all hands or running your daily routine. However, it may malfunction due to various reasons.

Transponder Key

Modern technology has allowed us to enjoy a variety of benefits in our cars. One of these benefits is the emergence of transponder keys, which let you start your car with a key fob that contains an RFID chip. The chip sends a signal to the immobilizer that informs it that you have the right key to operate your vehicle. This chip also helps to reduce car theft. It is more difficult to duplicate this type of key, but it is not impossible. If you're in need of replacing a transponder, call an automotive locksmith.

The first thing you must do prior to calling locksmiths is to ensure that you have all the information for your vehicle. This includes the VIN number along with the year, model, and the trim (options). This will allow them to locate the correct key for your car quickly. It can also save money. A transponder is more expensive than a key made of steel, but not so much as a new ignition.

A key fob with chips is more secure than a standard metal key. It's more difficult to duplicate, and it's not as easy to hot wire. The chip in the keyfob communicates with the computer in your vehicle. This allows it to recognize you have the correct key and allow it to start. This is a great way to feel secure regarding the security of your car.

Keyless Entry System

A lot of cars have keyless entry option. In contrast to traditional keys, which require the driver to insert them into the lock and then turn them, this system sends radio signals to the vehicle. If the car senses the key fob is in range, it will unlock or start the engine. Certain systems also permit the driver to open the windows and trunk by pressing the button on the key fob.

A keyless system can be more convenient, especially in cold weather, because it avoids having to insert the key into the lock and may prevent damage to the lock mechanism of your car from ice or dirt. However, it is important to keep in mind that the system that is keyless will not function in the case of a power outage or if the battery fails. Therefore, it is advised to keep an emergency key in your glove box of the vehicle.

Another benefit of a keyless system is that it offers greater security than a traditional key. For example, some systems will automatically lock the car when the driver leaves and can shut down the engine if the driver does not remember to do it. These features can be especially useful if you have your car located near a high-risk area or if you're concerned about leaving valuables in the car.

Keyless Start System

With the keyless ignition system you can open and lock your car without an actual key. It uses the transponder on your smart device to transmit an identification code which is verified by the vehicle's anti-theft system. If the smart fob is within the vehicle's range, it broadcasts a signal to the car's antennas. These is then used to start the engine, exactly as if you put a key in the ignition.

These systems are becoming more popular in both domestic and imported vehicles. A single press can start the engine, and activate other electrical devices such a radio. By pressing the button once the button, you can turn on the air conditioning. Pressing the button twice will turn off the electrical components of the vehicle. Pressing the button with your foot on brake will stop the motor.

However there are many drivers who fail to put the vehicle in "park" prior to exiting, and this has resulted in some injuries. Fortunately, all systems come with safeguards to avoid this issue. Some systems require you flick a switch or rotate it before pressing the start button. Others conduct pre-start tests to ensure the car is in Park and that your foot is properly on the brake. Other safety tips include reading the owner's guide, adhering to basic safety guidelines and watching an NHTSA video on keyless ignition.

Remote Control

The Remote Control System that comes with your Kia makes your life easier by allowing you lock and unlock the vehicle at any time anytime, anyplace. This is accomplished by a pair of sensors located inside your Kia key fob that connect to the car's standard immobiliser system, that are located inside the engine control unit (ECU).

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

The remote control interface 109 is an receiver 110 that receives infrared lights that are modulated and demodulates them to retrieve the control codes in the carrier wave. The remote control interface sends the control codes to an electronic device which activates the desired functions in accordance with the code.

The battery inside your Kia smart key or key fob is expected to last for many years, but it will eventually need to be replaced. You can replace the battery by yourself using a small tool to take off the cover. Then you can replace it with another one (CR2032). If you're not sure which battery to choose, call an authorized kia key dealer/service partner. When you do change the battery, make sure to dispose of it in accordance with local laws and regulations.
