Hi everyone,
When I had my 2012 Kia Optima and I pushed the lock button on the key fob, the tail lights would flash. Doesn't look like this happens on my 2014 Cadenza. Is it the same for you? I liked this feature since I could see from across the parking lot that my doors locked.
Thanks

you can change this option in your user settings.... should have defaulted to blink tho

My parking lights (yellow ones, front and back) and my turn indicators on the mirror blink twice when I lock my car (i assume when I lock it as well).

What sh30469 said. Plus a chime will sound.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the responses. I figured out why this was happening. It turns out that I have a defective hood closure sensor. If I lift my hood and have someone hold the switch down while I hit the lock button on the fob, the rear tail lights flash and the horn sounds. Funny that all this time that I've owned the car it " thought" that the hood was open. Taking it to the dealership next week for repair.
