Changing the battery
Smart key (push-button start)
- Most push-button fobs hide a metal backup key. Press or slide its catch and draw the key out first.
- Use the slot where the metal key sat. Twist, do not lever hard, and work along the seam until the halves separate.
- Before you take the old cell out, look at its face. Put the new cell in with the same side showing, and avoid touching both faces at once.
- Snap the halves back together, slide the metal key home, and press each button, then try the start button from the driver's seat.
Nissan Intelligent Keys normally hold a mechanical key behind a release knob. With the key out, a small screwdriver in the slot separates the halves.
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.
