Keeping your Kia car key battery in good condition is essential to ensure that your car key functions properly. If your Kia car key battery is running low, it’s time to replace it. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change your Kia key battery.
Gather the Required Tools
Before you start replacing your Kia key battery, ensure that you have the required tools. You will need a small flathead screwdriver and a replacement battery. The replacement battery required for your Kia key is a CR2032 battery.
Locate the Keyhole
Look for the keyhole on the back of your Kia car key. It’s a small indentation on the backside of your key. Use your fingernail or a small flathead screwdriver to pry open the keyhole cover.
Remove the Old Battery
Use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry out the old battery from its slot. Be careful not to damage the slot or the cover while doing so.
Insert the New Battery
Take the new battery and insert it into the slot with the + sign facing upwards. Press the battery down gently to ensure a secure fit.
Close the Keyhole Cover
Once you have inserted the new battery, close the keyhole cover by gently pressing it back into place.
Test the Key
Test your Kia key by pressing any button on the key to ensure that it’s working correctly.
Dispose of the Old Battery
Dispose of the old battery safely. You can take it to a battery recycling center or dispose of it as per the regulations in your area.
How Often Should You Change Your Kia Key Battery?
The frequency of changing your Kia key battery depends on how often you use your key. Typically, Kia key batteries last for 2-3 years. However, factors such as extreme temperatures can reduce the lifespan of your key battery.
What If Your Kia Key Doesn’t Work After Changing the Battery?
If your Kia key doesn’t work after changing the battery, try reinserting the battery or replace it with a new one. If the problem persists, take your key to a Kia dealership for further inspection.
