Kia Picanto Spare Key

The key fob allows you to open and start your Picanto. The key is equipped with a security chip built in that disables the standard immobiliser.

The key fob can be used for locking and unlocking your car, whether you're at the grocery store with all hands on deck, or running your regular tasks. It can, however, be inoperable for a variety reasons.

Transponder Key

Modern technology has enabled us to gain a lot of advantages in our vehicles. One of these advantages is the appearance of transponder keys. These keys let you start your car using keys that contain an RFID chip. The chip transmits an immobilizer signal that tells it that you have the correct key for driving your vehicle. This chip also helps to decrease the chances of theft from cars. This kind of key may be more difficult to duplicate, but it's not impossible. You should always contact an auto locksmith in the event that you require a transponder key replacement.

The first thing you should do before calling locksmiths is to ensure that you have all your vehicle's details in order. This includes the VIN and model, as well as the year, year and trim (options). This will assist them in finding the correct key for your car quickly. You will also save money. A transponder key usually costs more than a standard metal key but it's not so expensive as buying a new ignition system.

A key fob with chips is more secure than a metal key. It's harder to copy, and it's also more difficult to hot-wire. The chip in the keyfob connects to your vehicle's computer. This allows it to recognize you have the correct keys and authorize it to start. This is a great method to be confident regarding the security of your vehicle.

Keyless Entry System

The keyless entry system is an increasingly popular feature on cars. This system makes use of radio signals instead of traditional keys that require the driver to insert the keys into the lock, turn them and then remove them. If the car senses the key fob is in reach, it will either unlock or start the engine. Certain systems permit the driver to open the windows and trunk by pressing the fob's button.

It is much more convenient to use a keyless lock particularly in cold weather. This means that you don't need to insert your key into the lock, and it may keep away damage from snow or dirt to the lock mechanism. However it is crucial to keep in mind that keys that are not keyless will not operate in the event of a power outage or when the battery goes out. It is recommended you keep an emergency key in the glovebox of your vehicle.

A keyless system also provides greater security than conventional keys. Certain systems, like they will automatically secure the vehicle when the driver steps off, and stop the engine if the driver does not remember. These functions are especially useful if your vehicle is parked near a high-crime area or if you are worried about putting valuables into the car.

Keyless Start System

Keyless start systems let you start and unlock your car without having a mechanical ignition key. It uses the transponder on the smart fob to transmit a unique identification code which is verified by the vehicle's anti-theft system. When the smart key is in close proximity to the vehicle, the transponder broadcasts an indication that triggers the engine in the same way as keys.

These systems are becoming increasingly common in both domestic and imported vehicles. Pressing a button starts the engine and also turns on other electronic features, such as the radio. You can even turn on the air conditioner by a single push. Pressing the button twice will turn off the electrical components of the vehicle. Pressing the button with your foot on the brake will stop the motor.

However many drivers fail to place their vehicle in "park" prior to exiting, and this has resulted in a few injuries. There are many systems that have safeguards to will stop this from happening. Some systems require you flick a switch or rotate it prior to pressing the start button. Others conduct pre-start tests to ensure the vehicle is in Park and local that your foot is properly on the brake. Other safety tips include reading the owner's guide, adhering to the basic safety guidelines, and watching NHTSA video on keyless ignition.

Remote Control

The Remote Control System that comes with your Kia helps make your life a little easier by giving you the possibility of locking and unlocking your vehicle from anywhere at any time. This is achieved through a pair sensors inside your Kia keyfob that communicates with the standard immobiliser system in the car that is located in the engine control module (ECU).

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

The remote control interface 109 consists of a receiver 110 that takes infrared-modulated lights and demodulates them so that it can recover the control codes in the carrier wave. The remote control interface 109 then transmits the control code the electronic device, which then activates the desired function in accordance with the control code.

You can replace it yourself by using a slim tool to open the cover of the battery and then replacing it with a fresh battery (CR2032). You can replace the battery yourself with the small tool that can be used to pry off the cover. Then you can replace it with a brand new one (CR2032). If you're unsure of what battery to use then please consult an authorized Kia dealer or service partner. If you decide to replace the battery, make sure you dispose of it according to local laws.
