When the Kia Sportage key stops working, it means the key battery needs replacing. To do this, lift the key as if you were going to start the engine and insert a screwdriver or a card into the right side of the remote to pry it open.

Remove the old battery and insert a new one. Close the remote and test the key's functionality near the vehicle; if the problem persists, the issue may lie with the central locking fuse or the key itself, which may need reprogramming.
