Do you need a new ignition key for a Kia Optima?
Furthermore, remember to ask if the key needs to be programmed or coded, some models do – e.g., a replacement key for 2018 Kia Optima will need to be programmed, whereas a 1996 Kia Sephia won’t. If you think you need a new ignition switch/ lock cylinder, first make sure you don’t simply need a new key.
How do you start the engine in a Kia Optima?
If the battery is weak or the smart key does not work correctly, you can start the engine by inserting the smart key in the smart key holder. When you pull out the smart key from the smart key holder, press the smart key and pull it out. When the stop lamp fuse is blown, you can’t start the engine normally.
