Kia EV6: Opening and closing / Keys
Contents:
The Kia EV6 smart key combines a traditional mechanical emergency key with multiple advanced remote-control functions designed to improve convenience and everyday usability.
The smart key system allows drivers to lock and unlock doors remotely, operate selected convenience functions, and start the Kia EV6 without physically inserting a key into the ignition system.
WARNING
Smart key
Never leave the keys inside your Kia EV6 together with unattended children. Leaving children alone inside a vehicle equipped with an EV start system can create extremely dangerous situations.
Children may imitate adults and accidentally press the start button or operate various vehicle controls. This may allow the vehicle to move unexpectedly or activate power-operated systems, which could result in severe injury or even death.
Record your key number
The key code number is stamped on the identification tag supplied with the Kia EV6 key set. If the keys are
lost,
this code allows an authorized Kia dealer to duplicate the keys more efficiently. Remove the key code tag and
store
it separately in a secure location. It is also recommended to write down the key code number and keep it in a
safe
place outside the vehicle.
WARNING
Aftermarket keys
Only use genuine Kia parts and approved key components for your Kia EV6. Unauthorized aftermarket keys or improperly modified electronic components may interfere with the vehicle’s electrical system and could lead to abnormal operation or potential fire hazards caused by excessive electrical current.
WARNING
Never leave the keys in your vehicle
Leaving children unattended inside a Kia EV6 while the smart key remains in the vehicle is extremely dangerous, even when the vehicle is in the POWER ON position. Unsupervised children may operate the EV button, activate windows, or move the vehicle unexpectedly, potentially resulting in serious bodily injury or death.
