Kia Picanto Spare Key

The key fob lets you unlock and begin your Picanto. The key comes with a security chip built in that blocks the immobiliser standard.

It doesn't matter if you're in a parking lot at a store with full hands or simply running your weekly errands, the key fob makes it convenient to lock and unlock your vehicle. However, it could stop working for a variety of reasons.

Transponder Key

Modern technology has enabled us to gain many advantages in our vehicles. Transponder keys are just one of the advantages of modern technology. They permit you to start your vehicle using keys that contain an embedded RFID chip. The chip sends an alert to the immobilizer that lets it know that you have the correct key to start your car. This chip also helps to decrease the chances of theft from cars. This type of key can be more difficult to duplicate, however it's not impossible to duplicate. It is recommended to contact an automotive locksmith for help when you require a transponder key replacement.

The first thing you must do prior to calling a locksmith is to ensure that you have all the details of your vehicle. This includes the VIN, model, year and trim (options). This will enable them to locate the key to your car quickly. It can also save you money. A transponder key usually costs more than a conventional metal key but it's not as expensive as getting a new ignition system.

A key fob that has a chip is much more secure than a standard metal key. It's harder to duplicate and it's also not as easy to hot wire. The chip in the key fob communicates with the computer in your vehicle so that it can recognize that you've got the correct key and allow it to operate. This is an excellent way to feel assured about your vehicle's security.

Keyless Entry System

The keyless entry system is an increasingly popular feature on automobiles. This system uses radio signals instead of traditional keys that require the driver insert them into the lock, turn them and then remove them. If the car determines that the key fob is in range, it will unlock the vehicle or start the motor. Some systems also allow the driver to open the trunk and windows by pushing the button on the key fob.

Using a keyless system can be more convenient, particularly in cold weather, because it does not require inserting the key into the lock. It also may prevent damage to the mechanism that locks your car due to dirt or ice. However it is crucial to keep in mind that a lock with keys that are not keyless will not operate in the event of a power outage or if the battery is dead. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a spare key in the glovebox of your vehicle.

Another benefit of the keyless system is that it gives you more security than a traditional key. For instance, certain systems will automatically lock the vehicle if the driver leaves and will also stop the engine if the driver fails to do the same. These features can be especially useful if your vehicle is situated in a highly-crime zone or if you are worried about putting valuables into the car.

Keyless Start System

With the keyless ignition system you can open and lock your vehicle without the use of mechanical keys. It makes use of the transponder on your smart device to transmit a unique identification code which is verified by the vehicle's anti-theft system. If the smart fob is in close proximity to the vehicle it transmits a signal to the car's antennas. These then triggers the engine like if you stuck a key into the ignition.

These systems are becoming increasingly commonplace in both domestic as well as imported vehicles. Pressing a button starts the engine, but also turns on other electronic features such as the radio. You can also turn on the air conditioning by pressing a button. Pushing the button a second time will turn off the car's electrical features and pressing the button again by putting your foot on brake will stop the engine.

However some drivers forget to put the vehicle in "park" prior to exiting, and this has resulted in a few injuries. Fortunately, all systems come with protections against this issue. Some systems require you to flick a switch or rotate it prior to pressing the start button. Others conduct pre-start tests to make sure the vehicle is in Park and your foot is properly on the brake. Other safety tips include reading the owner's manual, adhering to basic safety practices and watching NHTSA video on keyless ignition.

Remote Control

The Remote Control System in your Kia makes your life easier by allowing you to lock and unlock the vehicle at any time and from anywhere. This is done by a pair sensors inside your Kia keyfob that communicates with the standard immobiliser system inside the car and is located inside the engine control module (ECU).

When you press a button on your key fob, it sends data to a data generation 103 to indicate that a selection key was hit. The data generator generates trigger data indicating the selected function and transmits it through a transmitter 104. The transmitter 104 modulates infrared lights using the trigger information and transmits it to the remote control interface 109.

The remote control interface 109 is a receiver 110 that receives infrared-modulated lights and demodulates them in order to recover the control codes in the carrier wave. The remote control interface 109 transmits the control code to the electronic device that activates the desired function in accordance with the control code.

You can replace it yourself by using a small tool to open the battery cover and then replacing it with a fresh battery (CR2032). You can replace it yourself using a small tool to break open the battery cover, and then replacing it with a brand new battery (CR2032).
