How do you replace a remote key or a smartkey?

The battery in your Kia's intelligent key will eventually need be replaced, whether it is a remote key that starts with a push button or a regular metal key that is not equipped with an electronic transponder. This is particularly the case if your car displays a message telling you that the smart or remote keys are in poor condition.

It's an easy process. In order to replace the battery of the key fob take the mechanical key from the slit on the back of the key fob. Next, lift the cover. A small screw will be inside the key fob, which holds the battery in the correct position. With a small screwdriver, unscrew the screw and remove the battery that was in place. Then, insert the new one and close the slit inside the key fob.

How do you replace a battery?

If the Kia key fob doesn't respond when you press the lock/unlock button, it is likely that the battery is insufficient. A low battery may cause other issues, like the check engine light flashing or the engine not cranking correctly. Fortunately replacing the key fob battery is a relatively easy DIY task that requires only some basic tools.

Before beginning the process ensure that your vehicle is off and all doors are shut. Find the small, metal or plastic piece on the bottom of the key fob. Move it until the metal key is released. This key can be placed inside the driver door handle to unlock your car.

Remove the old battery, and then align the new battery so that the "+" positive side faces you, while the "negative" negative side is facing the fob's metal electrical contacts. Avoid using excessive force when pushing the new CR2032 into position to avoid breaking or bending the steel contacts.

After installing the new battery then turn the key fob on and off in the ignition until the door locks up. You can then test the Kia's Key fob again to make sure it's working as intended.
