Key with remote in the head

  1. This type has the buttons built into the key head. The cell is inside that head, between two clipped halves.
  2. Many key heads split along the side seam. Start at the small notch and pry a little at a time.
  3. The coin cell is usually under or on the back of a small board. Keep the rubber button pad in place while you swap the cell.
  4. Close the head, check there is no gap, and try the buttons.

A CR2032 is 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick. CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016 share the same width but not the same thickness, so a swap between them can leave a loose contact or a case that will not close.

Smart key (push-button start)

  1. Start by freeing the hidden metal key: there is a latch or slide on the case, and the blade comes out once it moves.
  2. The gap left by the metal key usually has a pry point. A slow twist with a thin flat tool (tape on the tip saves the plastic) opens the two halves.
  3. Pop the old battery out with a toothpick or plastic pick, not a metal blade, and seat the new one with the + side matching the old one.
  4. Reassemble, refit the emergency key, and check that the car sees the fob when you press start.

A CR2032 is 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick. CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016 share the same width but not the same thickness, so a swap between them can leave a loose contact or a case that will not close.

Coin cells are a choking and burn hazard for children. Store the spares in their original pack, out of reach.
