The central door lock switch allows you to lock or unlock all doors of your Kia Telluride from inside the cabin quickly and conveniently.

  • To lock every door, press the central door lock button (3) located on either the driver's or front passenger's door.

  • To unlock all doors, press the central door unlock button (1) located on the driver's or front passenger's door.

When all doors are securely locked, the door indicator lights (2) on the front doors turn off. If any door is unlocked, the corresponding indicator light remains illuminated.

If any door is open or not fully latched, the doors will not lock even if the central door lock switch is pressed.

WARNING

Doors

  • Always ensure every door is fully closed and locked before driving your Kia Telluride. Properly locked doors help prevent accidental opening while the vehicle is moving and also provide additional protection against unauthorized entry when the vehicle is stopped or traveling at low speed.

  • Before opening a door, always check for approaching vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, or pedestrians. Opening a door into the path of traffic can lead to property damage, serious injury, or an accident.

CAUTION

Unlocked vehicles

Leaving your Kia Telluride unlocked may allow unauthorized persons to enter or hide inside the vehicle while it is unattended. Whenever leaving the vehicle, remove the smart key, apply the parking brake, close all windows, and lock every door.

WARNING

Unattended children, the elderly, or pets

The interior of a parked vehicle can become dangerously hot or cold within a short period. Children, elderly occupants, or pets left unattended inside may suffer serious injury, heatstroke, or death. In addition, children could unintentionally operate vehicle controls or expose themselves to other hazards. Never leave children, elderly passengers, or animals unattended inside your Kia Telluride.
