If you're in a supermarket store parking lot with full hands or simply doing your usual errands the key fob will allow you to lock and unlock your car. However, it can malfunction due to various reasons.
Transponder Key
Modern technology has enabled us to gain a lot of benefits in our vehicles. Transponder keys are among the benefits of modern technology. They let you start your vehicle with the keyfob which has an embedded RFID chip. This chip sends an immobilizer a signal that informs it that you have the right key to start your car. This chip also helps to reduce the risk of theft from your car. This type of key might be more difficult to duplicate, however it's not impossible.

A key fob with chip is more secure than a typical metal key. It is more difficult to copy and is also more difficult to hot-wire. The chip inside the keyfob communicates to the computer in your vehicle. This allows it to know that you have the correct key and authorize it to start. This is an excellent way to feel safe about the security of your car.
Keyless Entry System
Keyless entry systems are a popular option on many cars. Instead of traditional keys, which require the driver to insert the keys into the lock and turn the lock, this system transmits radio signals to the vehicle. When the car is aware that the key fob is in reach, it will either unlock or start the engine. Some systems allow the driver to open windows as well as the trunk by pressing the fob's button.
It is much more convenient to use a lock with a keyless mechanism especially in colder weather. This way, you don't have to insert your key into the lock, and it may prevent damage from snow or dirt to the lock mechanism. It is crucial to know that a car lock with a keyless system will not work if there is a power outage or if a battery in the vehicle dies. It is therefore recommended that you keep an emergency key in your car's glovebox.
A keyless system can also offer more security than a traditional key. Certain systems, for instance they will automatically secure the vehicle when the driver steps off, and stop the engine if the driver forgets. These functions are especially useful in the event that the vehicle is in an area with high crime rates or if the owner is worried about leaving valuables in the car.
Keyless Start System
Keyless start systems let you start and unlock your vehicle without using a mechanical ignition key. It makes use of the transponder on your smart fob in order to transmit an identification code that is authenticated by the vehicle's anti-theft system. When the smart key is in close proximity to the vehicle, the transponder emits an indication that triggers the engine just like keys.
These systems are becoming more common in both domestic and imported vehicles. A single press starts the engine, and turns on other electrical functions like the radio. You can also switch on the air conditioning by pressing the button once. 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.
Many drivers do not remember to put their car in "park" and have caused a few accidents. Many systems have safeguards to prevent this from happening. Some require you to flip or turn the switch prior to pressing the start button, and some run pre-start safety checks to make sure that the car is in park and that your foot is not on the brake. Other safety suggestions include reading your owner's guide, following the basic safety rules and watching the video of NHTSA on keyless ignition systems.
Remote Control
The Remote Control System that comes with your Kia will make your life a little easier by giving you the possibility of locking and unlocking your vehicle from anywhere at any time. This is accomplished by two sensors in your Kia keyfob that connects to the standard immobiliser system that is in the car, which is located in the engine control module (ECU).
When you press one of the operation buttons on your key fob it sends information that indicates the selected button has been press to a data generation 103. The data generator 103 generates trigger data that identifies the function you have selected and sends it to a transmitter. The transmitter 104 alters the infrared beam based on the trigger data and sends it to remote control interface 109.
The remote control interface 109 includes an receiver 110 that receives modulated infrared lights and demodulates them to retrieve the control codes that are contained in the carrier wave. The remote control interface sends the control codes to an electronic device, which activates the desired functions based on the code.
The battery inside your Kia smart key or remote key fob is expected to last for many years, but it will eventually need be replaced. You can replace the battery yourself using an instrument that is thin enough to pull off the cover. Then you can replace it with a brand new one (CR2032). If you're not sure which battery to use, please contact an authorized Kia service partner or dealer. If you decide to replace the battery, make sure you dispose of it in accordance with local laws.
