In 2019, the Kia Optima offers an optional remote start feature that is part of the technology package. This system is beneficial for individuals residing in extremely hot or cold climates, as it allows the vehicle to warm up or cool down before driving, ensuring a more comfortable ride. Additionally, using the remote start can help bring the vehicle to operating temperature, preventing potential damage while on the road. If you encounter issues with the system, consider replacing the battery in your key fob as it may be worn out.
Remote start is only available in the s, ex, and SX models of the 2019 Kia Optima.
Among the 2019 Kia Optima lineup, only the S, EX, and SX models are equipped with remote start functionality. Typically, car manufacturers build various models of a car using a shared basic structure, so it may be possible to install remote start on an Optima model that doesn't come with it straight from Kia.
