KOVA Essential Tag — Installation Guide
Your KOVA Essential Tag must be activated before installation. Activation associates the Tag with your KOVA account and the vehicle it is intended for.
The KOVA Essential Tag is designed as a single-use, peel-and-stick Tag for installation on the inside of your vehicle’s glass. Take a moment to choose the right position before applying it, as the Tag is not designed to be repositioned once installed.
Before you install
Before applying your KOVA Essential Tag:
Activate the Tag through the KOVA activation process.
Make sure the Tag has been activated for the correct vehicle.
Choose the installation position carefully.
Make sure the selected area can be safely accessed without interfering with your view or normal operation of the vehicle.
Once you are ready, clean and prepare the glass before applying the Tag.
Installing your KOVA Essential Tag
The KOVA Essential Tag is designed to be installed on the inside of your vehicle’s glass.
1. Choose the location
Select a suitable position on the inside of the vehicle’s glass where the Tag is accessible and clearly visible when someone needs to interact with it.
Make sure the position does not interfere with your view, vehicle controls, or normal operation of the vehicle.
2. Clean the glass
Use the cleaning swab included in your KOVA Welcome Kit to thoroughly clean the selected area.
Remove any dust, dirt, grease, fingerprints, or other residue that could affect adhesion.
3. Let it dry completely
Allow the surface to dry completely before applying the Tag.
The glass should be clean, dry, and free from dust, moisture, grease, and residue.
4. Apply the Tag
Carefully peel the backing from your activated KOVA Essential Tag.
Position the Tag precisely on the prepared area before making full contact with the glass.
5. Secure the Tag
Press firmly across the Tag to ensure the adhesive makes proper contact with the glass.
Take your time with positioning. Once applied, the KOVA Essential Tag is not designed to be repositioned.
The Tag is designed for a single application
The KOVA Essential Tag is a single-use, peel-and-stick Tag. Once applied, it should not be removed and reinstalled.
Removing the Tag may damage the adhesive or the Tag itself. For this reason, a KOVA Essential Tag should not be transferred from one vehicle to another.
Choose the installation position carefully before pressing the Tag into place.
Adding or replacing a KOVA Tag
If you want to add KOVA to another vehicle, or if your existing KOVA Essential Tag has been lost, damaged, removed, or otherwise needs to be replaced, contact KOVA Support.
You can also request an additional KOVA Essential Tag for a vehicle that already has KOVA. The additional Tag can be associated with the appropriate vehicle through the KOVA activation process.
Do not remove an existing KOVA Essential Tag to transfer it to another vehicle. Each Tag is associated with the vehicle for which it was activated and should remain with that vehicle.
KOVA Support can help you with the appropriate next steps for your account and vehicle.
Final check
Before completing the installation, make sure:
The Tag is firmly attached to the glass.
The glass was clean and completely dry before application.
The Tag is positioned exactly where you intended to install it.
The Tag was activated for the correct vehicle.
The Tag is not obstructing your view or interfering with normal vehicle operation.
Once installed, your KOVA Essential Tag becomes the physical identity interface for that vehicle, connecting it to the KOVA experience.
