Kia Picanto Spare Key
The key fob allows you to unlock and begin your Picanto. The key also has a built in security chip that disarms the car's standard immobiliser.
The key fob can be used to lock and unlock your car, whether you're at the store with all hands on deck, or running your daily errands. It can, however, be inoperable for a variety of reasons.
Transponder Key
Modern technology has enabled us to take advantage of a range of benefits in our vehicles. Transponder keys are one of the advantages of modern technology. They let you start your car with keys that have an embedded RFID chip. This chip sends an immobilizer with a signal to let it know that you've got the correct key to drive your vehicle. The chip also helps reduce car theft. It is difficult to duplicate this type of key, but not impossible. If you require replacement of the transponder, you should contact an automotive locksmith.
The first thing that you must do prior to calling a locksmith is to ensure that you have all the details of your vehicle. This includes the VIN number along with the year, model, and trim (options). This will help them find the correct key for your car quickly. You will also save money. A transponder key usually costs more than a standard metal key however, it's not so expensive as buying a new ignition system.
A key fob equipped with a chip is more secure than a standard metal key. It is more difficult to duplicate and it's also not as simple to hot wire. The chip in the keyfob communicates with your vehicle's computer. G28CarKeys lets it know that you have the correct keys and authorize it to start. This is an excellent way to feel secure about the security of your vehicle.
Keyless Entry System
Keyless entry systems are a popular option on many cars. As opposed to traditional keys that require the driver to insert them into the lock and then turn them, this system sends radio signals to the vehicle. If the car senses the key fob is within range, it will unlock or start the engine. Some systems allow the driver to open the windows and trunk by pressing an icon on the key fob.
It is much more convenient to use a lock with a keyless mechanism especially in cold weather. This means that you do not have to insert your key into the lock, and this can keep away damage from dust or ice on the lock mechanism. It is important to remember that a car lock with a keyless system cannot function if there is a power outage or if the vehicle's battery dies. It is recommended that you keep an emergency key in your car's glovebox.
Another benefit of a keyless system is that it offers more security than a conventional key. Certain systems, such as, will automatically lock the car when the driver gets off, and can also stop the engine in the event that the driver does not remember. These features are particularly helpful in the event that the vehicle is in an area with high crime rates, or if the owner is worried about leaving valuables inside the vehicle.
Keyless Start System
With the keyless ignition system, you can unlock and start your vehicle without the use of mechanical keys. It uses a transponder in your smart fob to transmit an ID code that's verified by the vehicle's anti-theft device. When the smart key is close proximity to the vehicle the transponder broadcasts an indication that triggers the engine just like a key.
Both imported and domestic vehicles are increasingly utilizing these systems. A single button can start the engine, and activate other electrical devices such a radio. By a single press it is possible to turn on the air cooling system. Pressing the button twice will shut off the electrical functions of the vehicle. Pressing the button with your foot on brake will stop the motor.
However there are many drivers who fail to put their vehicle in "park" before exiting the vehicle, and this has led to some injuries. Many systems have safeguards to will stop this from happening. Some systems require you to flip a switch or rotate it prior to pressing the start button. Others conduct pre-start tests to ensure the vehicle is in Park and that your foot is securely on the brake. Other safety tips include reading the owner's manual, 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 you lock and unlock your car at any time anytime, anyplace. This is accomplished by a pair of sensors located inside your Kia key fob, which communicate with the vehicle's standard immobiliser, which is in the engine control unit (ECU).
When you press a key on your key fob it sends data to a data generation 103 that indicates the key that was pressed. The data generator 103 generates trigger data indicating the selected function and transmits it to an electronic transmitter 104. The transmitter 104 alters the infrared lights based on the trigger data, and then sends it back to the remote control interface 109.
A receiver 110 within the remote control interface 109 receives the modulated infrared beam and demodulates it to recover the control code contained within the carrier wave. The remote control interface transmits the control codes to the electronic device which triggers the desired functions in accordance with the code.
The battery inside your Kia smart key or key fob is expected to last for a long time, but it will eventually need be replaced. You can replace the battery yourself using a thin tool to pry off the cover. Then, you can replace it with a fresh one (CR2032). If you're not certain which battery to choose, you can contact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner. If you decide to replace the battery, be sure to dispose of it according to local laws.
