How to Replace the Battery in a Chery Car Key?
2 Answers
The steps to replace the battery in a Chery car key are: 1. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the side seam (or bottom) of the key to pry open the plastic cover; 2. Once opened, you can see the battery; 3. Remove the old battery and insert the new one; 4. Reassemble the key. Chery's automotive brands include: Qoros 3, Chery, Karry, Cowin, and Rely. Taking the Qoros 3 as an example: its manufacturer is Qoros Auto, with a very spacious interior. The entire center console panel strictly adheres to a minimalist design approach, featuring air vents at the top, and an 8-inch touchscreen display in the middle section.
I've been driving a Chery car for many years and have replaced the key battery several times. It's a simple DIY task. You'll need a small flathead screwdriver or a coin. First, look for a small gap on the back of the key, and gently pry open the casing to avoid scratching the plastic. Inside, you'll find a coin cell battery, usually the CR2032 model—remember this when buying a new one at the supermarket or auto parts store. Remove the old battery and replace it with the new one, making sure the positive side is correctly aligned (the battery has markings, so place it flat and aligned). After closing the casing, press it firmly and test the remote lock and unlock functions. If they don't work, there might be a contact issue, so reopen and check. Doing it yourself saves time waiting at the shop and costs just a few bucks. The battery typically lasts one to two years, so if the key starts responding slowly, replace it promptly to avoid inconvenience. Always remember to keep a spare key handy in case of mistakes—it's useful for emergencies.
