Smart Key Lamp Warning

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Kia Optima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If terminal state is in ACC or IGN and vehicle speed is less than 3 km/h, a periodic search (for every 3 seconds) is performed from the interior of the vehicle to check that a valid fob is still in the vehicle.
  2. If no valid Fob is found, a warning goes off, but if a valid Fob is found, no action is initiated.
