3 Answers
To replace the battery in a GAC Lingpai car key, follow these steps: Press the button on the electronic key to release the mechanical key. You will see a slot where the mechanical key was covering. Insert a coin into the slot and turn it clockwise to open the battery compartment. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one of the same model, ensuring the positive and negative poles are correctly aligned. Reassemble the key by following the steps in reverse. The GAC Lingpai is a strategic mid-size sedan under GAC Honda, equipped with a 1.8L iVTEC naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum power of 102 kW and a maximum torque of 172 Nm. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The dimensions of the GAC Lingpai are 4650mm in length, 1750mm in width, and 1505mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm.
As a Honda City owner who has replaced the key battery three times myself, the process is super simple: First locate the small notch on the side of the key, insert a coin and twist to open. Be careful not to scratch the casing - make sure the coin is firmly inserted. After opening, you'll see a CR2032 button battery (available at supermarkets or hardware stores). Use a toothpick to gently pry out the old battery, then insert the new one with the metal side facing down until you hear a click. Finally, align the top and bottom covers and press firmly to snap them together. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes and saves you about 100 yuan in labor costs!
Most of our coworkers change the batteries in their Honda City keys themselves. Use a 50-cent coin to pry open the shell along the key seam. Make sure to get the correct battery model - CR2032, don't buy the wrong one. Avoid touching the metal surface of the battery during replacement, as oil from your hands can cause poor contact. After installation, test all buttons, especially the lock button and trunk release. Also, ensure the rubber sealing ring is properly aligned to prevent water ingress during rainy days.
