2 Answers
To disassemble the Kia New Sportage key, follow these steps: 1. Press the round button on the side of the car key with one hand while pulling out the mechanical key with the other hand. 2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the gap in the middle of the top of the key. 3. Pry the key open. The Kia New Sportage is a compact SUV from Dongfeng Yueda Kia, with body dimensions of 4460mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1695mm in height, a wheelbase of 2640mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 103kW and a maximum torque of 242Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I recently took apart the key fob of the Kia New Sportage, and it's actually quite simple. Look for the tiny gap along the edge of the key, usually on the side or top, and gently pry it open using a credit card or plastic pry tool. Avoid using metal tools to prevent short circuits or damage to the circuitry. Once opened, you'll see the coin battery compartment, typically a CR2032. The battery has polarity markings, so make sure to align it correctly when replacing. When reassembling, press the casing lightly until you hear a 'click,' ensuring the clips are aligned and securely fastened. Be careful not to handle it too roughly—static electricity can harm internal components, so it's best to wash your hands to discharge static before working. If you feel resistance while prying, don't force it; try a different angle or check the manual to avoid costly repairs.
