Kia Picanto Spare Key

The key fob allows you to unlock your Picanto and then start it. The key also has an embedded security chip that disarms the vehicle's standard immobiliser.

It doesn't matter if you're in a parking lot, with full hands or just running your weekly errands, the key fob makes it convenient to lock and unlock your vehicle. It is, however, able to cease to function for a variety of reasons.

Transponder Key

Modern technology has allowed us to gain many advantages in our vehicles. One of these benefits is the emergence of transponder keys that let you start your car with keys that contain an RFID chip. The chip transmits an indication to the immobilizer that lets it know that you've got the right key to operate your vehicle. The chip also helps decrease the chances of theft from cars. It is more difficult to duplicate this type of key, but it's not impossible. Always contact an auto locksmith for transponder key replacement.

Before calling a locksmith, you should have all the relevant information about your vehicle ready. This includes the VIN number, model, year and the trim (options). This will allow them to locate the correct key for your car quickly. You will also save money. Transponders cost more than a metal key but not so much as a new ignition.

A key fob equipped with a chip is more secure than a standard metal key. It's harder to copy and is also more difficult to hot-wire. The chip in the keyfob connects to the computer in your vehicle. This allows it to recognize you have the correct key and permit it to start. This is an excellent way to be assured about your vehicle's security.

Keyless Entry System

Keyless entry systems are a popular option on many cars. This system uses radio signals instead of traditional keys that require drivers to insert the keys into the lock, turn them and then remove them. If the car senses that the key fob is within the range, it will either unlock the vehicle and start the engine. Certain systems allow drivers to open windows as well as the trunk by pressing the fob's button.

A keyless system can be more convenient, especially in colder weather, since it eliminates the need to insert the key into the lock and could protect the lock mechanism of your car due to dirt or ice. However it is essential to note that a keyless system will not function in the case of a power failure or if the battery is dead. Consequently, it is recommended to keep an emergency key in the glove box of the vehicle.

Another benefit of keys that are not used is that it offers more security than a regular key. For example, some systems will automatically lock the vehicle when the driver goes away and will also shut down the engine if the driver forgets to do this. These features can be especially beneficial if your car is situated in a highly-crime zone or if you're worried about leaving valuables in the car.

Keyless Start System

With the keyless ignition system you can begin and unlock your vehicle without the use of mechanical keys. It uses the transponder on your smart device to transmit an identification number that is authenticated by vehicle's anti theft system. If the smart fob is in the vehicle's range, it broadcasts a signal to the car's antennas. These then activate the engine, like if you placed a key in the ignition.

Both imported and domestic cars are increasingly using these systems. A single button can start the engine, and activate other electrical devices like a 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 while putting your foot on brake will stop the motor.

However some drivers forget to put the vehicle in "park" before exiting, and this has resulted in some injuries. Fortunately, most systems have safeguards to stop this from happening. Some require you to flick or rotate the switch prior to pressing the start button, while other systems run pre-start safety checks to ensure that the car is in park and that your foot is on the brake. Other safety tips include reading the owner's manual, following the basic safety guidelines, and watching NHTSA video on keyless ignition.
