Changing the battery

Key with remote in the head

  1. The remote electronics sit in the plastic head of the key itself, so there is no separate fob to open.
  2. Many key heads split along the side seam. Start at the small notch and pry a little at a time.
  3. Replace the cell with the same face showing, and make sure the rubber keypad sits flat before closing.
  4. Snap it closed and press each button. The car still starts with a dead remote battery on most of these keys, because the start chip needs no battery.

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.

If a child might have swallowed a coin cell, treat it as an emergency and get to a hospital right away.
