Changing the battery

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. Look inside the empty key slot for a notch. Put the tip of the metal key or a small flat screwdriver wrapped in tape there and twist gently until the shell splits.
  3. 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.
  4. Snap the halves back together, slide the metal key home, and press each button, then try the start button from the driver's seat.

Acura smart keys usually open the same way as Honda's: release the built-in key, then twist in the slot.

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.
