How to Open the New Lavida Car Key?
2 Answers
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.
