How to Replace the Battery in a Dongfeng Citroen Remote Key?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Citroen remote key battery replacement method is: 1. Insert a screwdriver or blade into the gap on the end face of the car key, pry the car key up and down until it opens; 2. Remove the button battery on the motherboard and install the new battery; 3. Reattach the outer shell. Taking the 2020 Dongfeng Citroen C6 Comfort model as an example, it is a medium-sized 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4980mm, width 1858mm, height 1475mm, wheelbase 2900mm. It is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, with a maximum power of 125 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 260 Newton meters.
Last time I replaced the battery in my Dongfeng Citroen remote key myself, and it was quite easy. There's a small gap on the side of the key - just gently pry it open with a coin or thin screwdriver to separate the casing. Take out the old battery (it's that flat, round CR2032 type), and when installing the new one, remember to place it with the plus side facing up to avoid reversing it. After installation, press the cover tightly until you hear a click. Immediately test the remote buttons - if the signal light comes on, you've succeeded. I keep some spare batteries at home so I won't be caught off guard when the remote fails. Handling such small tasks yourself saves time and money, just use household tools and avoid applying too much force to prevent damaging the key. The battery typically lasts about 1-2 years, so replacing it preventatively is more reliable.
