If your Kia Sorento has the Remote Start feature, you can use it to unlock the car. Press the lock button on the remote twice, and then press and hold the remote start button for a few seconds. This will unlock the doors and start the engine. Once the engine is running, you can get in the car and turn off the remote start feature.
