How to Replace the Battery in a Haval H6 Key?
2 Answers
Press the button on the mechanical key of the remote key to open the mechanical key. Hold the mechanical key end with your right hand, with the Volkswagen logo on the remote key facing upward. Use your left thumb to pry upward along the middle seam of the remote key to open it. Once the battery cover is open, insert a toothpick into the notch at the edge of the battery and gently pry to remove the battery. Insert the new battery into the battery slot, close the battery cover, and press it gently to ensure it is securely fastened.
I've been driving a Haval H6 for several years, and changing the key battery is a pretty routine task. When you notice the buttons responding sluggishly or the remote control distance shortening, it's a sign that the battery needs replacing. The Haval H6's remote key usually has a small groove on the back cover; you can gently pry it open with a coin or a plastic card—avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the plastic casing. Inside, you'll find a round CR2032 battery, which is readily available at regular supermarkets or auto parts stores at a low cost. When removing the old battery, pay attention to the position of the positive mark, and insert the new battery in the same orientation to ensure good contact. After installation, immediately test the remote button to check if the door locks respond normally—if the light comes on, you're good to go. Developing a habit of checking the battery life every two years or so can prevent sudden failures, making your trips more worry-free. I never experience key failure on the highway—safe driving comes first. Keeping a spare battery in the car is also a smart move.
