If the key fob isn't locking or unlocking your doors, check whether it's not simply running out of battery power. The key fob is equipped with metal clips that keep the button cell in place, and if they're not secure enough, they may not be able to complete the circuit when connected to the remote control. Replace the battery with one of the same size, voltage and specification, ensuring sure it is installed facing the correct direction. A dead coin battery is the most common cause of a keyfob not working in the Sportage and is usually an easy issue to determine. If kia car key cover has been dropped on the hard surface and stopped functioning, or if you've tried to reprogramme it but it's not working that's another sign that the key fob has developed a problem. In these cases, a spare key fob will usually unlock and start the vehicle. Engine Start/Stop Button The engine start button on the Kia Sportage allows you to turn your vehicle on without using your key. It also lets you start your vehicle when your car is in a location where it can't move on its own. The system has its issues. For instance, it is possible to experience an issue where the button does not function properly. In this situation you should contact an Kia dealer for assistance in reprogramming the button. The technician will also examine the fuses and wiring that control this feature. You can use the Kia Access app on your smartphone to remotely start your vehicle. This can be useful when you're at work or at home and wish to get the car started prior to your arrival. First, you must shut all the doors and lock the hood and reargate before you begin to start your car. Check that the hand parking brake is set to at least five notch. The smart key battery can malfunction if it gets wet or comes in contact with temperatures. You should avoid exposing the key fob to direct sunlight or place it outside in the rain. If you do this, the key will not unlock the door or to activate the horn. Key Code Number The key code number is written on the bar code tag that is attached to the key set. If you lose your keys, this number allows an authorized Kia dealer to duplicate the key set in a snap. If you take off the bar code tag, and record the code number, store it in a secure place (but not in your car). To lock the doors, press this button. If you press this button while your vehicle is in ACC or ON, a horn will sound. The warning light for hazards will blink twice. This indicates that all doors are locked. Press the button again to unlock the doors. When you press this button the immobilizer system indicator will blink for approximately 30 seconds to stop the engine from starting. If the horn of your vehicle or hazard lights blink it could be because the key has been improperly encoded. Another key could be transmitting interference. If this occurs it is a sign that an authorized Kia Dealer should verify the correct coding on your key. If you continue to see the lights for the horn and hazard flashing while trying to start your car and you are unable to do so, please contact your dealer. The warranty of the vehicle does not cover the unauthorized use of smart keys. Battery The battery inside your Kia Sportage key fob isn't very expensive, but it does need to be replaced periodically. The new battery is available at your local auto parts store or at a hardware retailer. When you remove the old battery from the key fob, make sure you disconnect the negative cable first. This will drain the remaining electrical energy and stop the circuits from being shorted. If you are replacing the battery in your fob's key, you need to select a high-quality battery. The quality of the battery will determine how long your fob will last, and it's also important to test the battery's voltage frequently. If the voltage is low, the battery could be defective. You can replace the key fob without any tools. It is necessary to insert the key blade of a mechanical device into the small slot located at the bottom of the fob and then pull the casing open. Then, replace the battery that was damaged with a new one, and reassemble the fob.
