Keyfob tricks in the Kia Telluride

[@bishfam1]

Yes. Show how to change battery in the new fob. Thanks!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Good idea for a future video, appreciate that

[@thomasczaplicki3159]

Another unknown feature of the Telluride key fob is that they are waterproof! Mine went through a full wash cycle in my jeans pocket as well as a dry cycle. To my surprise, it still worked flawlessly!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Well that's good to know haha. I don't know how many people are going to want to test that though

[@harryf2825]

Mine too. Thought it was going to be expensive

[@barbdeweese4046]

Please do a video slowly showing how to use the mechanical key to open the door of the ‘23 Telluride.Thx

[@CarsWithSteve]

Slowly huh 😉 I'll look at doing that for a 2024 model!

[@bryanbuff]

I prefer the foot wave to open the lift gate. Gotta be annoying when the lift gate wants to open just because you’re standing near it.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Agree with you there. Someone else mentioned the smart liftgate opened up in their garage and caused a bit of chaos. Even when I review cars that have it, I'll rarely use it. Usually just go for a fob unlock or tailgate button

[@GreatDataVideos]

If you move to the side after you see the lights flash, it won't open.

[@StillSoFresh]

steve, what trims have the auto window down option and the power lift gate? Does it work on the 2021 S?

[@CarsWithSteve]

It'll be the higher trims (EX Premium/SX) but I don't believe the feature was introduced until the 2022 model

[@StillSoFresh]

@@CarsWithSteve gotcha. Thanks!

Hi @carsWithSteve New Telluride owner. Question... Park my car, open the door, want to use the old-fashioned button on the inside of the door to LOCK my car, so when I get out I can just close the door with my hip (because maybe my hands are full or whatever). The LOCk button doesn't work. I'm told that is a "feature" by my dealer to prevent locking a key in the car. My 2015 I traded, with almost no tech, would just unlock the door when it shut b/c it senses the key was in the car. So, Is that true that you can't use the lock button on the inside of the door when you get out? I feel like the feature line was B.S. Also, can I auto-lock my doors when I'm inside and the car is running to prevent someone from jumping in at a red-light etc... thanks.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Hey! I wasn't aware that the lock button wouldn't work from that way, it's one thing I had never tried. I'll add that to the list to check out next time I'm in a Telluride to see if it's the case or if there's a workaround. You can use the little button by the driver door handle on the outside to lock or unlock the doors though! You can also set to auto lock in a few circumstances. Under Settings --> Vehicle Settings --> Door you can set when you want the doors to auto lock or unlock. I cover that in this video on the infotainment system --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/baGXd51vi9GKesU

[@Riverweb]

Let's say you put groceries in the back and then walk to the driver's door and get in the car. Will the liftgate close automatically? (Probably not because you are right next to the car with the fob?)

[@CarsWithSteve]

Some trims with the Smart Liftgate in the 2023 model will have auto close - it's technically when the smart key isn't nearby but I didn't check to see if that was also when you went to hop into the drivers seat

[@mariasanchirico2900]

Steve, my android auto is not working in my 2021 telluride. First we thought it was my phone, so I bought a new one. Worked for about 6 months, and stopped. It does not let me know that I'm getting a text, and it will not read text out loud. This is very frustrating as I use texting for business in my car. Can you please help me.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Is Android Auto not connecting at all in your Telluride now or is it connecting just not playing text notifications? You can try a few of these: 1. Soft reset - use a paperclip or pen tip to press and hold the little button just to the right of the volume rocker. 5 - 7 second hold will turn the screen off and then back on again 2. Remove the phone connection from the vehicle and the vehicle connection from the phone, then reconnect 3. Replace the USB cable with a new OEM original. So if you have a Samsung, replace with a Samsung USB cable

[@OG-Brawler-X]

Does the 2023 and 22 Kia tellurides have this? I have one but don’t know if it’ll work.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Yes, the features carry through the years but some of them are trim level specific

[@RafiqDerr]

Gr8 Video. Thanks alot.

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome!

[@loribrown1376]

Is there a way I can have my fuel notification alert me before only 22 miles of gas left? I have a 2024 Telluride

[@CarsWithSteve]

Not that I'm aware of, there's just the general low fuel notification you'd see in the cluster

[@loribrown1376]

Thank you 😊

[@lorimacklin5295]

Can you tell me how to use my iPhone with the entertainment system that my Kia came with.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Assuming you have a Telluride.. check this video out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baGXd51vi9GKesU

[@smallwoodmatt]

Can’t do the hold lock to roll the windows up because of US safety regulations. European cars have had the remote down for years, and they have remote up everyone else in the world. Reason being is the US thinks a child or someone could get injured with the remote up as the pressure sensors are disabled during remote up so they won’t stop if resistance is felt too early.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Some manufacturers in the US have global close available with obstacle detection..

How do you set walk away door lock 2023 telluride

[@CarsWithSteve]

There's auto liftgate close but no walk away door lock feature as far as I know...

[@briansherman823]

Quick question. I have a 2022 Telluride SX. We are putting it on an Autotrain from VA to FLA this week. The train recommends that we disable the car alarm, otherwise bumps along the way will trigger the car alarm, which will run for 17 hours before the train stops and run the battery down. Is there a way to manually disable the car alarm and still lock the doors? Thanks for any help. I will subscribe to your channel. Great content

[@CarsWithSteve]

Tricky situation! The Telluride doesn't have a dealer transport mode that's easy to get in and out of.. You could pull the fuse to disable the alarm but leaving the doors unlocked is really the only other option

[@cibospike]

How do you turn on cabin lights when door is opened

[@CarsWithSteve]

Look up overhead.. It's just to the right of the SOS button. The button has an open car door with a light above it

[@DylanCarson-vl4eo]

I went to use the auto lift gate feature and it wouldn’t open when I approached the lift gate with the key fob in hand.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Few things to try.. 1. Make sure that it's enabled in your media screen 2. The vehicle has to be locked and you have to walk 10-15 feet away for at least 15 seconds Check out this video on the infotainment that covers that off and a bunch of other things: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baGXd51vi9GKesU

[@fryalkosai]

How can i make the car not moving while the car is running and i have the kia outside Kia sorento 2024

[@CarsWithSteve]

The car will only let you remote start when you're in park.. so assuming that's the case and you're starting it from outside it shouldn't move at all

[@fryalkosai]

No imean if i left car running and go to buy something from the store and leave my wife at the car, Can anyone move the car while i have the key with me

[@waltseale]

Is there a way to unlock all doors with proximity

[@CarsWithSteve]

With the fob on you, you'll be able to grab the door handle to unlock that door but it wouldn't be an auto unlock for all doors..

[@AndrewDouglas-bl8xf]

My car suddenly is unable to unlock with grabbing the door handle. It cannot lock the door through the handle either. Thoughts?

[@Omar33169]

Very nice car, is it Black or Dark Moss colour?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Yes it it! This one is the Dark Moss exterior

[@cksautomotivelocksmiths4512]

how about the emergency key. it is inside the keyfob?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Good catch.. the Telluride doesn't have an emergency key built in, it's a separate mechanical key

[@Ethaniel_Rio]

does this work with the ex x-line?

[@CarsWithSteve]

EX X-Line does have the Smart Key and Power Liftgate, so it should!

It'll remote start based on your last settings.. so just make sure your AC is running when you turn the car off

Right? Pretty neat feature!

some Ford models do have this feature available. Most of them can be enabled by the dealer or using the Forscan app!

I just purchased a 2023 Kia telluride and I can’t figure out how to turn off the “consider taking a break” safety feature… can you tell me how to disable it?!? I HATE it

@@kendalldixon9944 It's called Driver Attention Warning (DAW). It has 3 modes: Off Normal sensitivity High sensitivity To set the mode: User Settings > Driver Assistance > DAW > [select mode] You can monitor your Attention Level. Forte manual says: Select "User Settings Mode" and then "Driver Assistance". "take a break" message appears if the detected attention level is below 1.

[@calvarychapelhomestead8557]

Will this work in the 2020 model ??

[@CarsWithSteve]

Don't believe it was available when the vehicle was introduced.. but if yours has it there will be a setting in the infotainment system under Settings --> Vehicle Settings --> Door --> Remote Window Control

[@MrZeevG]

I just don't understand people, who is say: " Amazing video, thank you for video" etc. . No body not ask the question: " From what distance can work this digital key? If you came to the door, and have to bring smartphone almost to touch handle, so why you need that key? I know on Volvo cars this remote can work so big distance from another country.

[@CarsWithSteve]

I haven't met a Kia owner that uses their phone as a key, most that I've come across prefer the actual fob. People are saying thank you because it's useful video on the fob and not using the phone as a key, plus you've been the only person who was curious about the distance it can work

[@zaro33]

You will never get automatic window up, because it is a safety issue if a child or animal has head, arm or fingers hanging outside the window and you accidentally automatically roll up the window from a far.

[@CarsWithSteve]

A lot of manufacturers have window up functionality and a number of Kia vehicles have window object detection so the underlying tech is there.. it just needs to be programmed to make it happen

Window trick doesn't work on my '21.

It's not available in all trim levels but if you have it you can enable the feature in the infotainment system under Vehicle Settings --> Door --> Remote Window Opening. I cover it off in detail in the media screen walkthough video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baGXd51vi9GKesU

My 2023 Telluride sx Prestige has the auto open and close. The auto close will close even if am getting things out of the vehicle. Don't think that should be happening. TY sal

Oh that's a bit of a pain about it auto closing all the time. It would make sense when you walk away with the fob but not if you're still near the back

Try quickly hitting lock then holding the remote start button. I had trouble getting it to work too at first.

only works on 2023 Tellurides

I would think remote up is more desirable for when it begins to rain but leave it to the government to stall progress like always.

Agree with you 100%. It's not a government issue.. other brands have both window up and down functionality

[@jimmyz801]

FOB is way too big. It is like having a second cell phone on you all the time. Then to boot the other key is not even built into it. So you still technically need that on your key chain. I might as well have a old brick cell phone in my pocket.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Good point about the secondary key. I was thrown off the first time I used the Telluride key because I couldn't find the emergency access key. Bit of an oversight for sure

[@ed8377]

I have that FOB and its way to big

I've heard that from a few people. Digital key is a useful feature if your vehicle is equipped with it

You mean to tell me you left your lesbian girlfriend alone with her bike on the path and she will send the digital key . Hackers can grab that key and us it to steal your car, very smart . Movement that inspires
