How to Replace the Battery in a Kia Sportage Car Key?

[AshleyLynn]

The method for replacing the battery in a Kia Sportage car key is as follows: 1. There is a round button on the side of the car key. Press this button with one hand while pulling out the mechanical key with the other hand. 2. Hold the key with one hand and a flat-head screwdriver with the other. Locate the gap in the middle of the top of the key and insert the flat-head screwdriver into it. Pry the key up and down until a gap is created. 3. Remove the key circuit board, gently push the battery to one side with your finger, and take out the battery. 4. Then place the new battery with the positive side facing up into the battery slot of the key, and gently push the battery until it is completely secured. 5. Cover the key circuit board back onto the key, align the two separated halves of the key up and down, and press both sides of the key with your hands until the upper and lower parts are completely fitted together. 6. Finally, reinsert the mechanical key into the key gap to complete the battery replacement.
