Remote start is a convenient feature that allows you to start your car’s engine from a distance using a key fob or a smartphone app. If you own a Kia Forte 2021, you may be wondering how to use this feature. In this article, we will guide you through the steps of remote starting your Kia Forte 2021.
Step 1: Make Sure Your Car Is Equipped with Remote Start
Before attempting to remote start your Kia Forte 2021, you need to make sure that your car is equipped with this feature. Remote start is not a standard feature on all Kia Forte 2021 models, so check your owner’s manual or consult with your dealer to confirm if your car has this feature.
Step 2: Activate Remote Start
Once you confirm that your Kia Forte 2021 has remote start, you need to activate it. This can be done by pressing the lock button on your key fob three times in quick succession. Alternatively, you can activate remote start using a smartphone app if your car is equipped with Kia’s UVO Link system.
Step 3: Start Your Car
After activating remote start, your car’s engine should start automatically. If you’re using the key fob, the car’s lights will flash and the horn will beep twice to confirm that the engine has started. If you’re using the UVO Link app, you’ll receive a notification on your phone that the engine has started.
Step 4: Enter Your Car
Once your car’s engine is running, you can enter your car and drive away. However, you’ll need to insert the key into the ignition to disengage the remote start system. If you don’t insert the key within 15 minutes of remote starting your car, the engine will shut off automatically.
