Keyless Entry System

The keyless entry system is widely used on cars. The system utilizes radio signals instead of traditional keys that require you to insert them into the lock, turn them around and then take them out. When the car is aware that the key fob is within range, it will allow entry into the vehicle or turn on the engine. Certain systems allow the driver to open windows as well as the trunk by pressing the fob's button.

It makes use of a transponder within your smart fob to transmit an identification code that's verified by the vehicle's anti-theft device. 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 the key.

Both imported and domestic cars are increasingly using these systems. Pressing a button starts the engine, and turns on other electrical features like the radio. With just one push the button, you can turn on the air conditioning. The second time will turn off all of the vehicle's electrical features, and pressing the button again with your foot on the brake will stop the engine.

Many drivers forget to put their car in "park" which has caused a few accidents. Luckily, all systems have safeguards to prevent this problem. Some systems require you to flip a switch or rotate it before pressing the start button. Others perform pre-start checks to make sure the car is in Park and your foot is on the brake. Other safety suggestions include reading the owner's manual, adhering to basic safety rules and watching the video of NHTSA on keyless ignition systems.

Remote Control

The Remote Control System in your Kia works to make your life easier by giving you the possibility of locking and unlocking your vehicle from anywhere at any time. This is done through two sensors inside your Kia Picanto Key Fob keyfob that connects to the standard immobiliser system inside the car and is located inside the engine control module (ECU).

When you press a key on your key fob it sends data to the data generation 103, indicating the key that was pressed. The data generator 103 generates trigger data indicating the function you have selected and transmits it to an electronic transmitter 104. The transmitter 104 modifies the infrared beam based on the trigger data and sends it to remote control interface 109.

A receiver 110 of the remote control interface 109 takes the modulated infrared beam and demodulates it to retrieve the control code inside the carrier wave. The remote control interface 109 then transmits the control signal to the electronic device, which activates the desired function according to the control code.
