I've got a 2013 Kia pro ceed and I had a message come up on the dashboard telling me that my keyfob battery needed changing, could someone tell me how to do this please as my local Kia dealer was no help what so ever, they in fact told me to go to any local garage and ask them to prise it open. Clean the key with a solvent and a small brush as well. Then try a small amount of penetrating oil, or some other type of cleaner on the cylinder and the key. You are not trying to soak the cylinder, just get some lube on the tumblers to allow for free movement. Sometimes when I try to unlock the doors with the key fob all I hear is a beeping sound (slightly different pitch than the sound it makes when it does in fact unlock the door) but the doors do not open. When I press the lock button, I hear no sound at all. Now when the fob works and I unlock the doors I hear a two beep sound and the doors open. 2011 Kia Sorento EX V6 Key Fob not registering. New to these forums and trying to figure out my issue. My 2011 Kia Sorento intermittently does not recognize the key when I am near. It will not lock or unlock the doors and trying to start the car it says the fob is not in the car. Inserting the fob into the center console always allows it to start.

Simply press the start/stop button with your key fob while depressing the Whilst doing this be careful not to damage any white coloured bit of plastic as that is the bracket part which holds the lock in place. You will still need to remove the drivers seat so that you can then do the fiddly bit of getting the door card off, so that you can then remove the glass, so you don't break it whilst trying to smash the lock That's one place to look, on the off-chance. You could try your local tyre place. If you can't find the correct adapter, good news is that many people don't put too much torque on these lockers, and a little butchery will probably get them off. Try a wrench with sharp teeth, or grind some flats onto the nuts. A couple of months ago, the fob would no longer lock the doors. The driver's door lock switch/button does nothing either (it will unlock, but will not lock the doors). I've tried the other original fob (in new/unused condition), with the same result - will not unlock. Not a big deal, but I have certainly got used to hitting the driver's door While driving, the computer of your Ceed (ECU o PCM) monitors air/fuel supply and exhaust gases in order to verify that the engine is working properly.
