The Kia Optima is a mid-size four-door sedan manufactured by Kia Motors since 2000 and marketed globally through various nameplates. The 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid was launched in the U.S. market in November 2011. Kia Optima models do not have keyless entry remote fob smart keys that are onboard programmable and therefore require special equipment in order to program the keyless entry remote fob smart key.
