Kia Optima: Operating door locks from outside the vehicle

• Turn the key toward the rear of the vehicle to unlock and toward the front of the vehicle to lock.
• If you lock/unlock the door with a key, all vehicle doors will lock/unlock automatically.
• From the driver’s door, turn the key to the left once to unlock the driver’s door and once more within 4 seconds to unlock all doors.
• Doors can also be locked and unlocked with the transmitter key (or smart key). (if equipped)
• Once the doors are unlocked, they may be opened by pulling the door handle.
• When closing the door, push the door by hand. Make sure the doors are closed securely.

✽ NOTICE

• In cold and wet climates, door lock and door mechanisms may not work properly due to freezing conditions.
• If the door is locked/unlocked multiple times in rapid succession with either the vehicle key or door lock switch, the system may stop operating temporarily in order to protect the circuit and prevent damage to system components.

WARNING

• If you don't close the door securely, the door may open again.
• Be careful that someone's body and hands are not trapped when closing the door.
