To replace the battery in the Kia remote, work on a stable surface and have a thin flat tool (preferably plastic to avoid scratching the casing) at hand. Locate the opening slot near the emergency key part, then carefully lever until the two halves of the remote begin to separate.

Once the casing is open, access the button battery compartment and remove the battery, taking care not to force the metal contacts. Insert the new battery, ensuring it is oriented the same way as the previous one, then close the remote by aligning the two casings correctly and pressing until you hear the clicks of closure around the perimeter.

Once closed, check that the edges are flush and that the buttons do not get stuck; finally, test the open/close functions to confirm that the battery has been recognised correctly.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
