Subaru Forester: Door locks / With the smart key

The Kia Telluride smart key allows you to conveniently lock and unlock the doors and liftgate without removing the key from your pocket or bag. It also enables push-button engine starting. Refer to the related sections of this manual for complete operating information.

Locking

With all doors closed and at least one door unlocked, touch the lock/unlock sensor located on the outside driver's door handle. All doors will lock automatically. When every door and the hood are fully closed, the hazard warning lights will flash once to confirm that your Kia Telluride has been successfully locked.

Unlocking

1. When all doors are closed and locked, touch the lock/unlock sensor on the driver's outside door handle once. The driver's door will unlock, the hazard warning lights will flash twice, and the chime will sound twice to confirm the operation.

2. Touch the driver's door handle sensor a second time to unlock all remaining doors. The hazard warning lights will flash twice and the confirmation chime will sound twice.

3. Touch the lock/unlock sensor on the front passenger's outside door handle while all doors are locked. All doors will unlock, and the hazard warning lights will flash twice to indicate successful unlocking.

TIP

Approach Unlock system

On equipped Kia Telluride models, the outside door handles automatically extend and the doors unlock when the driver approaches the vehicle while carrying a registered smart key.

The Approach Unlock feature can be enabled or disabled through the infotainment system settings.

To configure the system so that only the driver's door unlocks when approaching the vehicle, select Setup > Vehicle > Door Unlock on Approach or Touch > Unlock Driver's Door on the infotainment system screen.

When washing the vehicle

Self-service car wash

• Keep all doors locked and ensure the outside door handles remain fully closed before washing the vehicle.

• Water, cleaning cloths, or brushes may activate the lock/unlock sensor and cause the door handles to extend. Keep the smart key at least 78 in. (2 m) away from the Kia Telluride whenever possible to help prevent unintended operation of the outside door handles.

NOTE

Automatic car wash

• Before entering an automatic car wash, place the vehicle in ACC or ON mode and shift the transmission to the N (Neutral) position.

  Refer to To stay in N (Neutral) when engine is OFF for additional information.

• If you remain inside the Kia Telluride with the registered smart key, keep all doors locked throughout the washing process.

• If the smart key is outside the vehicle, keep every door locked and maintain a distance of at least 78 in. (2 m) from the vehicle to prevent the outside door handles from operating unintentionally.
