Kia Carens: Operating door locks from outside the vehicle / Mechanical key
- If the transmitter or smart key does not operate normally, you can lock
or unlock the doors by the mechanical key. Insert the key into the key hole
of the outside door handle. 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 driver’s door with a key while the power door lock
switch does not operate normally, only the driver’s door will lock/unlock.
- Once the door is unlocked, it may be opened by pulling the door handle.
- When closing the door, push the door by hand. Make sure that 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.
