How to use the emergency key of the Kia Sportage when the battery is dead?

Model: Kia Sportage QL, MK 4 - Years 2016-2022
Part: Key

When the battery of the Kia Sportage key is low, it is possible to use the metal key to open the door lock of the vehicle. To open the front door in an emergency state, we must insert the key into the small lower hole on the handle. By applying a slight pressure upwards, we release the lock cover and insert the key into the lock to open the door. After replacing the key battery, it is important to reposition the door handle cover as originally.
