The key fob is convenient to lock and unlock your car, whether shopping with all hands on deck, or running your weekly tasks. But, it might malfunction due to various reasons.
Transponder Key
Modern technology has enabled us to enjoy many advantages in our vehicles. Transponder keys are just one of the benefits of modern technology. They let you start your vehicle with a keyfob that contains an embedded RFID chip. The chip transmits an immobilizer a signal that tells it that you have the right key to start your car. This chip also helps to reduce car theft. This type of key can be more difficult to duplicate, however it's not impossible to duplicate. You should always contact an automotive locksmith for help in the event that you require a transponder key replacement.
Before calling a locksmith, you must have all the details regarding your vehicle. This includes the VIN, model, year, and the trim (options). This will help them locate the correct key for your vehicle quickly. You will also save money. A transponder is more expensive than a key made of metal, but not as much as a new ignition.
A key fob with chips is more secure than a traditional metal key. It is more difficult to copy and even more difficult to hot-wire. The chip in the key fob communicates with the computer in your vehicle, allowing it to recognize that you have the right key and thereby allow it to run. This is a great way to feel safe regarding the security of your car.
Keyless Entry System
Many vehicles come with keyless entry option. In contrast to traditional keys, which require the user to insert the keys into the lock and then turn the lock, this system transmits radio signals to the vehicle. When the car is aware that the key fob is within range, it will open the vehicle or start the motor. Certain systems allow drivers to open the windows as well as the trunk by pressing the fob's button.
Utilizing a keyless lock can be more convenient, especially in cold weather, as it avoids having to insert the key into the lock. It also may prevent damage to the mechanism of the lock due to dirt or ice. However it is essential to note that the keyless system won't function in the event of power failure or if the battery is dead. It is recommended you keep a spare key in your glovebox.
Another benefit of a keyless system is that it provides greater security than a conventional key. Some systems, for example they will automatically lock the vehicle when the driver steps away, and shut the engine down if the driver forgets. These features are particularly useful in the event that the vehicle is in a place with high rates of crime or the owner is concerned about leaving valuables inside the vehicle.
Keyless Start System
With the keyless ignition system you can start and unlock your vehicle without using an actual key. It uses the transponder of your smart fob to transmit an identification code that is verified by the vehicle's anti-theft system. When the smart key is close to the vehicle, the transponder broadcasts signals that activate the engine in the same way as a key.
These systems are becoming increasingly common in both domestic and imported vehicles. Pressing a button starts the engine and also turns on other electrical features like the radio. By a single press, you can turn on the air conditioning. Pressing the button two times will turn off the electrical components of the vehicle. Pressing the button while putting your foot on brake will stop the motor.
However there are many drivers who fail to put their vehicle in "park" prior to exiting, and this has resulted in a few injuries. There are many systems that have safeguards to prevent this from happening. Some require you to flick or rotate a switch before you press the start button, and other systems run pre-start safety checks that ensure that your car is in park and your foot is not 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 in your Kia helps make your life simpler by giving you the capability to lock and unlock your car from anywhere, at any moment. This is done by two sensors inside your Kia key fob that connect to the car's standard immobiliser systems, which are found inside the engine control unit (ECU).
When you press a key on your key fob it sends data to the data generation 103 that indicates that a key for selection was press. The data generator 103 creates trigger data that indicates the selected function, and transmits it via the transmitter 104. The transmitter 104 modifies infrared light using the trigger data and sends it to the remote control interface 109.
A receiver 110 of the remote control interface 109 receives the modulated infrared beam and demodulates it to retrieve the control code that is contained in the carrier wave. The remote control interface 109 transmits the control signal to the electronic device that activates the desired function in accordance with the control code.
The battery inside your Kia smart key or remote key fob is expected to last for years, but it will eventually require to be replaced. The Keylab 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 new one (CR2032). If you're not certain which battery to choose, you can contact an authorized Kia dealer or service partner. If you decide to replace the battery, make sure to dispose of it in accordance with local laws.
