Remote Control
The Remote Control System that comes with your Kia is designed to make your life a little easier by giving you the possibility of locking and unlocking your vehicle from anywhere at any time. This is accomplished through two sensors inside your Kia key fob, which communicate with the vehicle's standard immobiliser, which are found in the engine control unit (ECU).
When you press one of the operation buttons on your key fob, it sends data indicating that the selection key has been activated to a data generator 103. The data generator 103 then creates trigger data which indicates the function you have selected and sends it to a transmitter. The transmitter 104 modifies infrared light using the trigger information and transmits it to the remote control interface 109.
A receiver 110 in the remote control interface 109 takes the modulated infrared light, and demodulates it to retrieve the control code contained within the carrier wave. The remote control interface 109 then transmits the control code the electronic device, which activates the desired function according to the control code.
