Changing the battery
Smart key (push-button start)
- Find the small release on the edge or back of the fob and hold it while you pull out the metal emergency key.
- Use the slot where the metal key sat. Twist, do not lever hard, and work along the seam until the halves separate.
- 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.
- Close the case until it clicks all the way round, put the metal key back, then try the buttons and a push-button 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.
Remote key (form not stated in the source)
- Key shape is not stated by the source. Compare your key with the types described on the how-it-works page.
- Look for a notch, slide or screw on the case. A coin or small flat screwdriver, twisted gently, opens most fobs.
- Fit the new cell matching the old one's orientation and test the buttons.

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