How to Open the Key of a 2013 Lavida?

Method to open the key of a 2013 Lavida: Place the key horizontally, hold both sides with your hands, and pull outward forcefully to release the key head first, then it can be disassembled. This method requires some strength. After pulling it apart, you will see the slot, which is secured together with a clip. Therefore, when pulling, slightly angle both ends downward with a bit of twisting force to help open it. If it doesn't open, you can also use a small tool to pry it open. The Lavida's in-car navigation system combines touch screen and knob control operation, and has MP3 playback capability, supporting USB, AUX, and SD card expansion slots. It is easy to use and feature-rich, with the LCD screen adopting a foldable design.
I used to drive a 2013 Lavida, and the key operation was quite simple. First, look at the bottom of the key—there's a small button. Press it to pop out the mechanical key part. If you need to replace the battery, carefully pry open the plastic shell using a plastic pry tool or a credit card, starting from the gap. Avoid using excessive force to prevent cracking. The battery is usually a CR2032 type, which you can easily find at supermarkets. Replacing it yourself saves some money. It’s recommended to check the battery about once a year to avoid it dying at a critical moment. Also, when reassembling, align the clips and press firmly. If you're a beginner and not confident, visiting a repair shop is quicker—they have more experience and won’t damage the key. You can also have it checked during regular maintenance for added convenience.
