How the Kia Alarm System Works

Model: Kia K8 MK 1 - Years: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026
Part: Onboard computer

Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how the alarm system works on the Kia Sportage, K8, and EV6. The system is designed to protect the vehicle when it is locked and secured, without the key inside. Close all the doors and make sure the smart key is not inside.

Lock the vehicle (by touching the lock sensor on the outer handle or pressing the button on the smart key): the hazard lights flash once, confirming that the alarm is active. If someone tries to access the vehicle without using the key, the alarm triggers, the hazard lights flash for 30 seconds, and the siren sounds for 10 seconds.

This cycle repeats twice. To deactivate it, simply press the unlock button on the smart key.

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
