kia spare keys Picanto Spare Key

The key fob lets you open and start your Picanto. The key comes with an embedded security chip that blocks the standard immobiliser.

The key fob is handy for locking and unlocking your car, whether at the store with full hands, or running your weekly errands. It can, however, be inoperable for a variety of reasons.

Transponder Key

Modern technology has allowed us to enjoy a variety of advantages in our vehicles. One of these benefits is the introduction of transponder keys. These keys let you start your car using keys that contain an RFID chip. This chip sends an immobilizer with a signal that informs it that you have the correct key to drive your vehicle. The chip also helps reduce the risk of theft from your car. It can be difficult to duplicate this type of key, but not impossible. If you're in need of replacing a transponder, call an automotive locksmith.

The first thing you must do prior to calling a locksmith is to ensure that you have all of your vehicle's information ready. This includes the VIN, model, year and trim (options). This will help them locate the key to your car quickly. You will also save money. Transponder keys usually cost more than a traditional key made of metal however it's not nearly as costly as an entirely new ignition system.

A key fob equipped with chip security is more secure than a regular metal key. It is more difficult to copy and also harder to hot-wire. The chip inside the key fob communicates with your car's computer, allowing it to recognize that you have the correct key and permit it to run. This is an excellent method to feel confident about the security of your car.

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 the keys into the lock, turn them and then take them out. When the car senses that the key fob is within range, it will unlock or start the engine. Certain systems also allow the driver to open the windows and trunk by pressing an icon on the key fob.

A keyless system can be more convenient, particularly in cold weather, because it doesn't require you to insert the key into the lock. It also could protect the mechanism that locks your car from dirt or ice. It is crucial to know that a car lock with a keyless system will not function in the event of an electrical outage or if the battery in the vehicle fails. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a spare key in your glovebox.

Another benefit of keys that are not used is that it provides greater security than a regular key. Some systems, for example, will automatically secure the vehicle when the driver steps off, and can also stop the engine if the driver does not remember. These options are particularly useful if your vehicle is situated in a highly-crime zone or if you are worried about leaving valuables in the car.

Keyless Start System

Keyless start lets you open and start your vehicle without using a mechanical ignition key. It uses the transponder of your smart fob in order to transmit an identification number that is authenticated by vehicle's anti theft system. If the smart key is close proximity to the vehicle, the transponder transmits an indication that triggers the engine just like the key.

Both imported and domestic vehicles are increasingly using these systems. The push button can be used to start the engine as well as switch on other electrical components such a radio. You can also activate the air conditioning by pressing a button. Pushing the button a second time will shut off all the vehicle's electrical functions and pressing the button again using your foot on the brake will stop the engine.

However some drivers forget to put their car in "park" before exiting, and this has caused a few injuries. Luckily, all systems have safeguards to prevent this problem. Certain systems require you to flick a switch or rotate it before pressing the start button. Others run pre-start checks to ensure the car is in Park and your foot is on the brake. Other safety tips include reading your owner's guide, following the basic safety guidelines, and watching NHTSA's video on keyless ignition systems.

Remote Control

The Remote Control System in your Kia will make your life simpler by offering you the possibility of locking and unlocking your vehicle from anywhere, at any moment. This is accomplished by the use of two sensors within your Kia Ignition Key keyfob that communicates with the standard immobiliser system that is in the car that is located in the engine control module (ECU).

When you press a button on your key fob it sends data to the data generation 103, indicating that a select key was press. The data generator 103 produces trigger data indicating the selected function and transmits it to an electronic transmitter 104. The transmitter 104 modulates infrared light using the trigger information and transmits it to the remote control interface 109.

A receiver 110 inside the remote control interface 109 receives the modulated light infrared and demodulates it to retrieve the control code contained within the carrier wave. The remote control interface relays the control codes to the electronic device, which activates the desired functions in accordance with the code.

You can replace it yourself using a small tool to open the cover of the battery and then replacing it with another battery (CR2032). You can replace it yourself using a slim tool to break open the battery cover before replacing it with a new battery (CR2032).
