Changing the battery
Smart key (push-button start)
- Start by freeing the hidden metal key: there is a latch or slide on the case, and the blade comes out once it moves.
- Use the slot where the metal key sat. Twist, do not lever hard, and work along the seam until the halves separate.
- Note which side of the old coin cell faces up (usually the side with the writing), lift it out with a plastic tool, and press the new one in the same way.
- Close the case until it clicks all the way round, put the metal key back, then try the buttons and a push-button start.
Kia smart keys usually free the mechanical key with a button, and the case opens at the gap it leaves.
A CR2032 is 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick. CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016 share the same width but not the same thickness, so a swap between them can leave a loose contact or a case that will not close.
Flip key
- Swing the key blade open first. On most flip keys the cell lives in the body behind the hinge.
- Look along the edge for a notch. A coin turned in that notch usually separates the remote half from the blade half.
- Lift the cell out with a plastic tool and press in the new one with the + side matching.
- Clip the body closed, fold the blade, and test the buttons from a few steps away.

If a child might have swallowed a coin cell, treat it as an emergency and get to a hospital right away.
