Changing the battery

Separate remote fob

  1. The remote is a small standalone unit. You will not need to touch the ignition key at all.
  2. Find the slot along the edge and turn a coin in it. Go slowly so the clips do not snap.
  3. Replace the cell, keeping the + side where it was, and check the small metal tab still touches it.
  4. Snap the case shut and watch for the lights to flash when you press lock at the car.

A CR1616 is 16 mm across and 1.6 mm thick. It is easy to confuse with the 20 mm CR20xx sizes, which will not fit.

A CR2025 is 20 mm across and 2.5 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.

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. Work a thin flat tool into the seam near the blade and twist; go round slowly if it does not open at once.
  3. Replace the cell with the same face showing, and make sure the rubber keypad sits flat before closing.
  4. Close the head, check there is no gap, and try the buttons.

Smart key (push-button start)

  1. Most push-button fobs hide a metal backup key. Press or slide its catch and draw the key out first.
  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. 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.
  4. Reassemble, refit the emergency key, and check that the car sees the fob when you press start.

Honda smart keys typically have a release lever for the built-in key. Twist a coin or the key tip in the slot it exposes to split the case.

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.
