The transmitter or smart key uses a 3 volt lithium battery which will normally last for several years. When replacement is necessary, use the following procedure.
1. Insert a slim tool into the slot and gently pry open the transmitter or smart key cover.
2. Replace the battery with a new battery (CR2032). When replacing the battery, make sure the battery position.
3. Install the battery in the reverse order of removal.
For transmitter or smart key replacement, Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
CAUTION
An inappropriately disposed battery can be harmful to the environment and human health.
Dispose the battery according to your local law(s) or regulation.
NOTICE The transmitter will not work if any of the following occurs: The ignition key is in the ignition switch. You exceed the operating distance limit (about 10 m [30 feet]).
With a smart key, you can lock or unlock a door and even start the engine without inserting the key. The functions of buttons on a smart key are similar to the folding key.
If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by an authorized Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck service. If towing service is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergency towing hook under the front (or rear) of the vehicle.
Checking the washer fluid level Check the fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain water may be used if washer fluid is not available. However, use washer solvent with antifreeze characteristics in cold climates to prevent freezing.
