Changing the battery

Flip key

  1. Swing the key blade open first. On most flip keys the cell lives in the body behind the hinge.
  2. Look along the edge for a notch. A coin turned in that notch usually separates the remote half from the blade half.
  3. Take out the old cell, noting which side faced you, and fit the new one the same way.
  4. Close it up, check the blade still flips cleanly, and test the buttons at the car.

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)

  1. Key shape is not stated by the source. Compare your key with the types described on the how-it-works page.
  2. Open the case at its seam with a coin or plastic pry tool.
  3. Replace the cell with the same side up, close the case, and test.

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