The remote control uses a 3V lithium battery, which usually lasts several years. When replacement is necessary, perform the procedure below.

  1. Insert a thin object into the slot of the remote control and carefully pry open the center cover of the remote control.
  2. Replace the battery with a new one (CR2032 for types A and B, CR1632 for type C). When replacing the battery, make sure of its orientation.
  3. Install the battery in the reverse order of removal.

To obtain a replacement remote control and have it programmed, please contact your authorized Kia dealer.
