Kia Picanto Spare Key
The key fob lets you unlock and start your Picanto. The key has a security chip built in that blocks the immobiliser standard.
If you're in a supermarket parking lot, with full hands or simply running errands for the week, the key fob is convenient to lock and unlock your vehicle. However, it can malfunction due to various reasons.
Transponder Key
Modern technology has enabled us to enjoy a variety of benefits in our vehicles. One of these benefits is the advent of transponder keys. These keys let you start your car with keys that contain an RFID chip. This chip sends an immobilizer signal which tells it that you have the correct key for driving your vehicle. This chip also helps to reduce the risk of theft from your car. This type of key can be more difficult to duplicate, but it's not impossible. You should always contact an automotive locksmith for transponder key replacement.
The first thing you should do before calling a locksmith is to ensure that you have all the details of your vehicle. This includes the VIN number year, model, year and trim (options). This will help them find the correct key for your vehicle quickly. It also can save you money. A transponder is more expensive than a metal key but not nearly as much as an entirely new ignition.
A key fob that has chip is more secure than a standard metal key. It's more difficult to copy, and it's also more difficult to hot-wire. The chip in the keyfob communicates to your vehicle's computer. This lets it know that you have the correct key and allow it to start. This is a great way to feel secure about the security of your vehicle.
Keyless Entry System
Keyless entry systems are widely used on vehicles. 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 is aware that the key fob is in the range, it will either unlock the vehicle or start the engine. Certain systems also allow the driver to open the windows and trunk by pressing an icon on the key fob.
It is easier to use a keyless lock particularly in colder weather. This means that you do not have to insert your key into the lock, and this can stop damage from dirt or ice to the lock mechanism. However it is important to keep in mind that the system that is keyless will not function in the event of a power failure or if the battery fails. It is therefore recommended that you keep a spare key in your glovebox.
Keyless systems also offer more security than a traditional key. For example, some systems will automatically lock the vehicle when the driver is gone and will also shut down the engine if the driver forgets to do so. These features are especially useful if your vehicle is parked near a high-crime area or if you're worried about putting valuables inside the car.
Keyless Start System
With the keyless ignition system you can begin and unlock your vehicle without using an actual key. It uses the transponder on your smart device to transmit an identification number that is authenticated by vehicle's anti-theft system. When the smart fob is in the vehicle's range, it broadcasts a signal to the car's antennas. This will is then used to start the engine, like if you put a key in the ignition.

Remote Control
The Remote Control System in your Kia is designed to make your life a little easier by providing you with the capability to lock and unlock your vehicle from any location, at any time. This is accomplished by a pair of sensors located inside the Kia key fob that connect to the car's standard immobiliser systems, which are found within the engine control unit (ECU).
When you press one of the operation buttons on your key fob, it transmits information indicating that the selected key has been pressed to a data generator 103. The data generator generates trigger data indicating the function you have selected and transmits it to a transmitter 104. The transmitter 104 modifies infrared lights using the trigger data, and then sends it to the remote control interface 109.
A receiver 110 in the remote control interface 109 takes the modulated light infrared and demodulates it to find the control code within the carrier wave. The remote control interface transmits the control codes to an electronic device which triggers the desired functions in accordance with the code.
The battery in your Kia smart key or key fob can last for many years, but it will eventually have to be replaced.

If you decide to replace the battery, make sure you dispose of it in accordance with local laws.
