A transmitter uses a 3 volt lithium bat‐
tery which will normally last for several
years. When replacement is necessary,
use the following procedure.
1. Insert a slim tool into the slot and
gently pry open the folding key
center cover or pry open the rear
cover of the smart key.
2. Replace the battery with a new
battery (CR2032). When replacing
the battery, make sure the battery
position.
3. Install the battery in the reverse
order of removal.
For transmitter replacement, we rec‐
ommend that you contact an author‐
ized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
• The keyless entry system trans‐
mitter is designed to give you
years of trouble-free use, howev‐
er it can malfunction if exposed to
moisture or static electricity. If
you are unsure how to use or re‐
place the battery, we recommend
that you contact an authorized Kia
