Changing the battery

Key with remote in the head

  1. This type has the buttons built into the key head. The cell is inside that head, between two clipped halves.
  2. Many key heads split along the side seam. Start at the small notch and pry a little at a time.
  3. The coin cell is usually under or on the back of a small board. Keep the rubber button pad in place while you swap the cell.
  4. Press the head together until it clicks and test the buttons. The transponder chip that lets the car start is separate from the battery, so starting should not change.

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 CR1620 is 16 mm across and 2.0 mm thick. It is easy to confuse with the 20 mm CR20xx sizes, which will not fit.

Smart key (push-button start)

  1. Start by freeing the hidden metal key: there is a latch or slide on the case, and the blade comes out once it moves.
  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. 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. Snap the halves back together, slide the metal key home, and press each button, then try the start button from the driver's seat.

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.

Coin cells are a choking and burn hazard for children. Store the spares in their original pack, out of reach.
