My Rio is a 1.4 Spirit from 2014. This one has Keyless-Go and this morning the following happened to me: I went to the car at 5:00 a.m. because I had to go to work. I usually have the key in my work bag. When I pressed the unlock button on the door handle nothing happened. Look and no key in the bag. I then looked for the key but did not find it right away. No problem thought i ch me, I just take the second key. I am then with this to the car and still could not open my car, neither via Keyless nor by pressing the key key open. I then used the emergency key and opened my car with it. Door opened and first of all scared because the alarm went on. The start stop button pressed and nothing happened. Alarm system also made nice further noise. Since I unfortunately did not get any further with the second key I moved the With this key everything went back to normal. Now two questions ask me. 1: Is there no more old-fashioned ignition lock in which I can start the car with the emergency key? 2: Why could I not unlock my car with the second key?

Hello, since I basically adhere to the speed restrictions, especially in construction sites, I am totally on the mind, if you are collected because of slight exceedances. This can happen with today’s vehicles (with good performance) already, you do not constantly look at the displays, but on the road, which is probably better ! Ergo I own a warning in the mobile phone, which would then also light up nicely red. It is of course cumbersome, besides a n The NAVI(KIA) still has a mobile phone temporarily on a magnetic holder, especially because of worse hands-free. etc. Can you unlock the existing function in the Rio and how can it be done ? As I said, I don’t really need the warner to race stupidly through the area, because fortunately you can still on free and empty distances, if you want. Thank you very much.

Dear forum, I have found an offer for a Kia Rio from 2016 with 70 Tkm. From a dealer. Should checkbook be well maintained (through Kia contract workshop) so the car should have 3 years (or 80 Tkm) manufacturer warranty. What do you think of this year of construction? there are known weakness / problems? I have not read so good reviews here, but there are really few… What should I consider during the visit? I would definitely by TÜV/DEKRA or ADAC usedwag I find the price a bit high (7500 €). Do you think this price is fair? Thank you and have a nice weekend!

Good day, problem with the KIA PICANTO BA 1.1 EZ 12/20016 KM 110,000 brake pedal leaves on one time (no announcement – sporatic), without braking effect half pass or the brake pedal has no pressure/resistance at once, vehicle does not brake off, after 1.2 or 3 times press (pumps) the resistance on the brake pedal is again because the KIA brakes off perfectly then. The problem occurred in May 2016 two times within 14 days: in a curve of an exit traffic light was red and a Last year in July 2015 due to the defect of the main brake cylinder (for this there was also the KIA KTI = KIA TECHNICAL INFORMATION 2008-55 probably several if you googled) the brakes at the front did not pull firmly, consumed much. The discs / documents were exposed to the high thermal load, therefore the HBZ July 2015 was replaced. The brake fluid is t has also been renewed the brake calipers at the front right and at the rear left, the brake discs and support at the front (glassy). The car has no leak in the braking system or brake lines, brake hoses this was tested/tested on Wednesday 25.05.16 and also tested on the brake dynamometer everything perfectly it was even aired again the brake system and new brake flow filled in on 25.05.16 but the problem occurred again on 18.06.16. The Point-S-Werkstatt (no KIA) could not find the error she meant that it could be the HBZ or the brake power amplifier……. I leave in the net but that someone has already replaced three HBZ and after 9 months – until 1 year the same problem occurred so it should not be at the HBZ, but what then? The vehicle is in a good condition it wants to continue driving, but is needed but it is not, too dangerous. The KIA factory saddle we probably too expensive, they would probably know what it is………. Can here j send a solver/helpful tip? Thanks for the answer/s in advance!

Hello dear Motor-Talk municipality, have to get a small demonstration car in the near future.After a long search I find the new Nissan Micra and the newer Kia Picanto the cheapest.Have actually read a lot about both, but there is unfortunately no real information yet because they are quite new.Maybe someone has one of the cars and can share his experiences? To me I drive daily about 40km work path And in the year vl 2 times longer on vacation. The car would be I would have found a Nissan Micra with the N-Connecta equipment, would have included the 360 degree camera, bass sound system, driving light automtik, traffic sign recognition,key-less go and unfortunately no seat heating It is the 0.9 90 ps petrol with 2500km, which I would get around 13090€ The kia looks very sporty, which would be equipped with the Gt-line already great.To that would also be a sliding roof.I find the audio system very bad. a would have already 7500km which is not the world and would still be a normal sucker with 84ps. I would get 12090€. I looked at and drove with both, from the place I find both super nice and pleasant, you really do not believe that you are sitting in a small car ^^ only in the fond you can notice it there already, but that would not bother me because we are only a 2 household.The case room would be even better, especially if you are on vacation, although in the back seat also at kia From driving I have to say both are very good, although the steering was a bit better with the Micra.From the engine even if you often hear the 3 cylinders, I have to say I found the Nissan sharp also from the sound the kia was not bad, but the Nissan has accelerated me a bit better. Would be really great if you could maybe share your experiences, so that my decision is missing me a little bit easier especially since I was with Kia already advertises high with 7 years warranty, but even if the clutch or something happens after a short time, you would have to pay for it yourself anyway.Rejoice in your answers

Hey guys, I’m interested in a Rio as a new car for me right now. I was already at the dealer’s shop and got a quote. I have only one more request, and it’s about whether I should take the front parking sensors from the accessories catalog. These should cost 330€ and are unfortunately black. However, since I order a white car and don’t want black sensors on white varnish, the coloration of the sensors would cost my dealer another 100€. And 430€ for nu I find front parking sensors quite violent. Especially because I leave things like sliding roof and metallic varnish away to save money. Has any of you possibly retrofitted parking sensors afterwards and can report on price and system interference? I would actually only be interested in sensors if they work with the rear one without any problems, i.e. the 08/15 sensors where you stick the beep on the dashboard. Do you need sensors at the Rio at all? What’s the clarity? I drove 4 years Polo 6n2 and got away with all these years without parking damage. That’s my first purchase of a car, so I’m sorry for my insecurity.

My girlfriend has a Picanto 1.0 Bj.05. The car is spinning for some time and we don’t know any more… Looks like the problem is more common- the following has happened(I try in short form): Engine control light started to shine one day, are then read out to a nearby VW workshop for error- Diagnosis: camshaft sensor and ignition errors on cylinder 1.Now the car jerked off and the consumption rose to about 10 liters, especially b a uphill ride and backwards he almost went out-total power loss and just before we went down. We went to the workshop of my trust, there were ignition cables candles etc. checked, again the same error, motor lamp always went out short ; but it got worse and worse. At the Kia dealer one wanted to exchange the camshaft sensor immediately and we should expect with 1300 €. But since there is no guarantee that it finally everything worked we now have a We and they don’t find a mistake either, Lambda probe were checked and what I don’t know everything, on Monday Kia goes to install the camshaft sensor again. Since I have read on the Internet several times that some had the problem and put a lot of money into repair parts, I am really unsure what to do now, definitely this is the first and last Kia , we got him generously from the parents I haven’t found a solution with anyone yet. So I hope it’s enough, I have to ask for more details about the error codes again, the data are in the workshop. Would be really happy if someone knows something, the problem sucks slowly. Thank you Mfg. Micha

Hello I have a Kia picanto ta spirit sport from ’15 with 1.2L and 86ps. Since I am out of the warranty, because the car is not stocked, I do the inspection myself. According to Kia waiting plan was now oil, oil filter, air filter, brake fluid and pollen filter on the plan. What else could you do to do the little good and prophylactically counteract a wear? Petrol filter, belt, etc? I changed spark plugs at the last already. thanks already for a few opinions

Hello! Daughter has a 2004 Pcanto 1100cm3 65 hp with the usual braking problems on the rear axle (spin already hard, handbrakemymic every few weeks) so that I have decided to install new brake calipers. Now my problem: With all me known spare parts dealers are no brake calipers to find. Stand in the catalog, but are always not available. What can this be? Customer threatens with order? Does anyone know a source? With happy greetings: Rostklfeifer

Now that I’ve filled up almost 2,000 kilometers with my 1.4-kilometre spirit gasoline tanker, I’ve noticed the following very negatively: As soon as the residual range display of my on-board computer has fallen below the 50-kilometre mark and shows only two strokes in the display, Pi also starts to light up the tank indicator and that, although at this time I just drove 380 – 400 kilometers. I have now had it escalated and the Rio filled up two lines under the lowest tank marking subjectively “empty”. Sweatingly arrived at the gas station, I then filled the Rio Press up to stop and just filled 34,5 !?! liters Super. According to Kia, the Rio has a tank volume of 43 liters, that would mean that the tank display already at 30% of the remaining content. jumps Is this normal and can you possibly adjust something like that? The float is fixed in the tank in m. W., you can not have a lot of play when you install it. How are your experience with the accuracy of the tank indicator and when do you usually refuel? After warning light or after level indicator? How many kilometers do you create with your 1.4 Spirit gasoline? Greeting, Clark
