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.
- The gap left by the metal key usually has a pry point. A slow twist with a thin flat tool (tape on the tip saves the plastic) opens the two halves.
- 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.
- Reassemble, refit the emergency key, and check that the car sees the fob when you press start.
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.
