How to change the remote control battery of a Kia Niro

Model: Kia Niro MK 1 - Years 2016-2023
Part: Key

Today we will see how to replace the battery (CR2032) of the remote control for a first-generation Kia Niro. Let's start the procedure by pressing the release button of the physical key to remove it from its slot. Next, we insert a small flat screwdriver into the key compartment and leverage the back cover of the remote control to remove it, as shown in the video. Once done, using a Phillips screwdriver, we continue by unscrewing the four screws of the battery cover and remove it. Now we can take out the old battery from the remote control and replace it with a new one by following the reverse procedure.
