2 Answers
Replacing the battery in a Chery Tiggo 5 remote key involves 7 steps. Here are the details: 1. Locate the clip on the car remote and push it outward. 2. Pull out the mechanical key with force. 3. Use the key to pry open the remote's casing. 4. Remove the circuit board with the battery from the remote's casing. 5. Replace it with a new battery prepared in advance. 6. Reinstall the circuit board back into the remote's casing. 7. Press the two halves of the casing together firmly. How the remote key works: First, the key emits a weak radio wave, which is received by the vehicle's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU) then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) executes the lock/unlock response.
I just replaced the battery for my Tiggo 5 key recently, and it's actually quite simple. First, use your fingernail or a coin to press against the small groove on the side of the key and push upwards to eject the mechanical key. Then, take a flat-head screwdriver or a thin hard card and insert it into the gap in the middle of the shell, gently prying around to open the back cover. Inside, there's a silver button battery that can be directly pulled out. Remember, it's a CR2032 battery, which you can buy at supermarkets or convenience stores. When installing the new battery, make sure to align the positive and negative sides correctly, with the shiny side facing up and fitting into the slot. Finally, align the shell and snap it shut with a click, then reinsert the mechanical key. The whole process takes about ten minutes, and after finishing, press the buttons a few times to test if the remote is responsive.
