1. Open the transmitter center cover by inserting a slim tool into the slot.
2. Take out the old battery and replace it with a new battery (CR2032), making sure that the new addition is properly positioned.
3. Install the battery using the reverse steps of removal.

If the transmitter has to be replaced, you will need to visit an authorized Kia dealer for reprogramming of the transmitter.
