Limitations of the system

• The Kia EV6 fingerprint authentication system may not operate correctly under the following conditions:

  • You attempt authentication using a fingerprint that has not been registered in the system.

  • Your finger is not placed directly in the center of the fingerprint authentication sensor.

  • Water, moisture, dust, oil, lotion, or other substances are present on your finger or on the sensor surface.

  • The protective film covering the fingerprint sensor has not been removed.

  • The registered fingerprint is damaged, swollen, scratched, or temporarily altered.

  • Your hands are excessively dry, reducing fingerprint recognition accuracy.

  • You touch the fingerprint sensor too briefly or remove your finger too quickly.

• The Kia EV6 fingerprint enrollment and deletion functions may become temporarily restricted if authentication fails more than five consecutive times. In this situation, wait for a short period and try again later, or use another login method such as entering your password manually.

• If the Kia EV6 fingerprint authentication system or related components require repair at an authorized Kia dealer, previously registered fingerprints may be deleted during servicing. Always bring your smart key when visiting an authorized Kia dealer.

• The fingerprint authentication sensor cannot operate when the Kia EV6 battery is completely discharged.

• If the vehicle is switched to the POWER ON or OFF position during fingerprint authentication, the authorization process will not complete correctly.
