What to Do When the Kia K3 Car Key Battery Dies and Cannot Start the Car?
2 Answers
You can open the car door using a metal key blade on the remote key. The specific methods are as follows: 1. How to open the door: Every remote key comes with a metal key blade inserted into it. Usually, there is a switch on the remote key; flipping it allows you to pull out the key blade. Insert this key blade directly into the door's keyhole to open or lock the car door. 2. How to start the car: The metal key blade in the remote key is only used to open the door and cannot be used to start the car. Typically, push-to-start models available in the market provide three methods to start the car when the remote key battery is dead.
My Kia K3 key fob ran out of battery and can't start the car? I've encountered this situation several times. First, find the spare key. If you don't have one, check the main key fob's bottom for a mechanical key head - pry it open and use it to turn the door lock. Then get in the car and try placing the key fob against the start button for induction start - with some luck the car might still recognize it. If that doesn't work, manually insert the key into the ignition slot to start. Afterwards, remember to quickly buy a CR2032 button cell to replace it. The key fob casing usually has a small slot that can be pried open easily - replace the battery and it'll come back to life immediately. Key fob batteries typically weaken after about a year, so pay attention to warning light flashes. I always keep several spare batteries at home - it saves money and hassle, being stranded is too much trouble.
