Kia Picanto Spare Key
The key fob will allow you to unlock and start your Picanto. The key also has a built in security chip that disarms the car's standard immobiliser system.
It doesn't matter if you're in a store parking lot with full hands or just running your weekly errands, the key fob is convenient to lock and unlock your vehicle. However, it may stop working for various reasons.
Transponder Key
Modern technology has enabled us to gain a lot of advantages when it comes to our vehicles. Transponder keys are one of the advantages of modern technology. They allow you to start your vehicle with keys that contain an embedded RFID chip. This chip sends an immobilizer a signal that tells it that you have the right key to start your vehicle. It also helps reduce the theft of cars. It can be difficult to duplicate this type of key, but not impossible. If you're looking to replace a transponder, call an automotive locksmith.
Before making a call to a locksmith, you should have all information about your vehicle ready. This includes the VIN, model, year, and trim (options). This will assist them in finding the right key for your car quickly. It can also save money. A transponder is more expensive than a key made of steel, but not as much as a new ignition.
A key fob that has chips is more secure than a traditional metal key. It is harder to duplicate, and it's not as simple to hot wire. The chip inside the keyfob communicates to the computer in your vehicle. This allows it to recognize you have the correct key and permit it to start. This is an excellent way to feel assured about your vehicle's security.
Keyless Entry System
Many cars come with the keyless entry option. In contrast to traditional keys, which require the user to insert the keys into the lock and turn them, this system sends radio signals to the vehicle. When the car senses that the key fob is within the range, it will open or start the engine. Certain systems also permit the driver to open the windows and trunk by pressing an icon on the key fob.
It is much more convenient to use a keyless lock particularly in colder weather. This way, you don't have to insert your key into the lock, and this can keep away damage from dirt or ice to the lock mechanism. However, it is important to note that keys that are not keyless will not function in the case of power failure or if the battery dies. Consequently, it is recommended to keep an emergency key in the glove box of the vehicle.
Keyless systems also provide more security than the traditional key. Certain systems, like can automatically secure the car when the driver gets off, and will shut the engine down if the driver does not remember. These functions are especially useful when the vehicle is parked in an area with high crime rates, or if the owner is worried about leaving valuables in the vehicle.
Keyless Start System
A keyless start system lets you unlock and start your vehicle without the need for a mechanical ignition key. G28 uses the transponder on your smart fob in order to transmit an identification number that is verified by the vehicle's anti-theft system. When the smart fob is within the vehicle's range, it transmits a signal to the car's antennas. These then triggers the engine just as if you had placed a key in the ignition.
These systems are becoming increasingly common in both domestic and imported vehicles. A push button can start the engine and switch on other electrical components like a radio. With a single push, you can turn on the air cooling system. Pushing the button a second time will turn off the vehicle's electrical functions, and pressing the button by placing your foot on the brake will stop the engine.
Many drivers do not remember to put their car in "park" which has resulted in a few accidents. There are many systems that have safeguards to prevent this from happening. Some systems require you flick the switch or turn it prior to pressing the start button. Others run pre-start checks to make sure that the car is in Park and that your foot is on the brake. Other safety tips include reading the owner's guide, adhering to the most basic safety rules and watching NHTSA video on keyless ignition.
Remote Control
The Remote Control System on your Kia makes life easier by allowing users to lock and unlock your vehicle at any time, anywhere. This is done by two sensors inside your Kia keyfob that connects to the standard immobiliser system inside 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 key was hit to a data generator 103. The data generator 103 then generates trigger information that indicates the selected function, and then transmits it to a transmitter. The transmitter 104 modifies the infrared light according to the trigger data and then transmits it to the remote control interface 109.
A receiver 110 in the remote control interface 109 receives the modulated infrared light, and demodulates it to retrieve the control code inside the carrier wave. The remote control interface 109 then sends the control code to the electronic device, which then activates the desired function by relying on the control code.
The battery inside your Kia smart key or key fob can last for many years, but it will eventually require to be replaced. You can replace it yourself using a slim tool to remove the cover of the battery and replacing it with a new battery (CR2032). If you're not certain which battery to choose, you can contact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner. When you change the battery, be sure to dispose of it properly in accordance with local laws and regulations.
