  • Pressing the unlock button on your smart key.

  • Pressing the button on the outside door handle.

Once you turn the Kia K4 to the LOCK or OFF position, the headlights and taillights will remain illuminated for approximately 5 minutes.

You can manually deactivate the lights immediately by pressing the lock button on your smart key twice or by turning the light switch to the OFF position.
