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. 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.
  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. Close the case until it clicks all the way round, put the metal key back, then try the buttons and a push-button start.

Cadillac smart remotes commonly hide a key behind a side button. With it out, the case opens at the bottom 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.

A CR2450 is 24.5 mm across and 5.0 mm thick, much fatter than a CR2032. A thinner cell will rattle and lose contact, so buy the exact size.

Keep spare coin cells away from small children. A swallowed coin cell can burn the throat within hours; if it happens, go to an emergency room at once.
