How to start a Kia car when the key fob battery is dead?

Place the key near the push-button start for a while. Touch the button with the key. The Kia K3 is a compact car under Dongfeng Yueda Kia, and the 2021 Kia K3 is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine.
I've encountered the same situation before! There are actually several ways to start a Kia when the key fob battery dies. First, pry open the key fob casing to retrieve the mechanical key blade. There's usually a small cover on the door handle - just pop it open to use the mechanical key. After entering the driver's seat, don't immediately press the start button. You'll need to locate the induction area: most models have a key symbol mark below the steering wheel. Press the key fob casing against this spot while depressing the brake pedal and pressing the start button. Last time it took me two tries to succeed - make sure the key fob stays firmly against the induction point. If this doesn't work, check if the key icon appears on the dashboard - that might mean you need to replace the battery immediately. I recommend keeping a spare CR2032 coin cell battery in your car so you can replace it yourself next time!
