Last time my colleague's Citroen key fob stopped working, I helped replace the battery. Just prepare a CR2032 coin cell battery and find a coin or thin screwdriver. There's a clip on the side of the key - insert the coin into the key seam and gently pry it open, being careful not to scratch the casing. Once the battery compartment cover pops open, use a toothpick to pry out the old battery. When installing the new battery, make sure the positive side with the engraved text faces upward. Finally, align the clip positions and press the casing firmly until you hear a click. The whole process takes just three minutes. A 10-yuan battery from a roadside supermarket works perfectly fine - no need to waste money at the 4S dealership.
