Changing the battery

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. Close the case until it clicks all the way round, put the metal key back, then try the buttons and a push-button start.

Ford intelligent access fobs usually have a release for the emergency key. The key blade itself fits the pry 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.
