Operating Smart Key w/ Remote Start^*

Some 2024 Kia vehicles are equipped with factory-installed remote start. If equipped, Smart Key w/ Remote Start^* enables customers to start their engine from up to 32, unobstructed, feet away, allowing them to warm up, or cool down the vehicle’s interior before getting into the vehicle (if equipped with Kia Connect^*). This feature should be reviewed during Delivery so your customer understands all the benefits this feature can provide.
