Part: Key

Today we will see how to change the battery of a fourth generation Kia Sportage. First, we need to remove the physical emergency key by pressing the release button and extracting it from its slot.

Once done, we can remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, and finally close everything following the reverse procedure. The necessary battery is a CR2032 3V.
