New Lavida car key can be opened by following these steps: 1. Place the key horizontally, hold both ends with your hands, and pull outward firmly to pop open the key head for disassembly; 2. After opening, you will see the slot, which is secured together with the clip. Therefore, when pulling, slightly angle both ends downward with a bit of twisting force to facilitate opening. If it doesn't open, you can also use a small tool to pry it open. The New Lavida is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan under SAIC Volkswagen, with a top speed of 190 km/h. Its body dimensions are 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm.

I've taken apart the key fob of my new Lavida several times, and it's quite simple. The main thing is to locate the small gap, usually along the edge of the key or near the buttons. You'll need a small flat-head screwdriver or a card to gently pry it open—don't use too much force, or the clips might break. Once opened, you'll see the internal battery, typically a CR2032 coin cell. When replacing the battery, make sure to insert it with the correct polarity, then snap the casing back together. Press firmly until you hear a 'click' sound. Avoid dropping the car key frequently, as impacts can loosen internal components and cause malfunctions, affecting unlocking and ignition. If you can't pry it open, don't force it—visit a professional shop to avoid damaging it and incurring higher repair costs.

As a long-time Lavida owner who has changed key batteries countless times, here's my routine. First, hold the key firmly and check for seams along the sides - most models use snap-fit designs. Gently pry open a small gap with a thin tool, then slowly separate the housing along the edges. Avoid using excessive force as cracked casings are hard to repair. After removing the battery, clean the internal contacts to prevent dust accumulation affecting conductivity. Always match the voltage and model specifications when replacing, preferably with OEM parts. While not technically difficult, patience is key - especially avoid doing this in humid environments to prevent short circuits. Test all buttons after reassembly - normal response means you're good. For daily use, keep keys away from high-temperature areas to extend battery life and minimize frequent replacements.

Taking apart the key is a piece of cake for a DIY enthusiast like me! Locate the seam point on the key - most new Lavida keys have plastic clips. Use a small tweezer or a credit card as tools, and gently pry it open. The interior is simple: battery, circuit board, and buttons. When replacing the battery, avoid touching other components unnecessarily, just align and press the shell back into place. By the way, you can periodically check the battery; if the remote control range shortens, it's time for a replacement. This job takes just two minutes, saving you a trip to the dealership and unnecessary expenses. Also, avoid keeping the key with your phone regularly, as magnetic interference may cause malfunctions. Paying attention to these small details can extend its lifespan.
