If your Kia key fob is malfunctioning as you try to enter your vehicle in New Orleans, you probably just need to replace its battery. Depending on whether you have a standard Kia key fob or a Kia Smart Key, the instructions for how to change the battery in a Kia key fob will vary slightly. The Kia experts at Ray Brandt Kia provide step-by-step instructions for how to open a Kia key fob and swap out the battery in both instances, below!
If you’re not sure what type of key fob you have, a quick visual inspection should tell you. The standard Kia key fob has a small, circular silver button in the upper left corner to release the mechanical key blade from the side of the fob. The Kia Smart Key houses the mechanical key inside the fob, rather than on the side; instead of a button in the upper left corner, you’ll find a small rectangular release button on the lower backside of the Kia Smart Key fob. Additionally, the Smart Key is reserved for Kia vehicles that have keyless entry and keyless start functions.
Both the standard Kia key fob and the Kia Smart Key take a single 2032 battery. You can buy this type of battery at most major department stores, automotive stores, or online.
