Changing the battery
Smart key (push-button start)
- Start by freeing the hidden metal key: there is a latch or slide on the case, and the blade comes out once it moves.
- Look inside the empty key slot for a notch. Put the tip of the metal key or a small flat screwdriver wrapped in tape there and twist gently until the shell splits.
- Note which side of the old coin cell faces up (usually the side with the writing), lift it out with a plastic tool, and press the new one in the same way.
- Reassemble, refit the emergency key, and check that the car sees the fob when you press start.
Cadillac smart remotes commonly hide a key behind a side button. With it out, the case opens at the bottom slot.
A CR2450 is 24.5 mm across and 5.0 mm thick, much fatter than a CR2032. A thinner cell will rattle and lose contact, so buy the exact size.
If a child might have swallowed a coin cell, treat it as an emergency and get to a hospital right away.
