2 Answers
The steps to replace the battery in a Lamando car key are: 1. Open the button of the remote key and remove the mechanical key; 2. Use a flat-head screwdriver or other thin tool to pry open the key shell by turning it along the gap; 3. Use a small knife to pry open the circular battery and replace it with a new one, ensuring the positive side faces up; 4. After replacing the battery, snap the key shell back into place; 5. Reinsert the mechanical key to complete the process. The Lamando is a compact car under SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4599mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1425mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2656mm. It is equipped with EA888 TSI and EA211 TSI engines and uses a wet 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Last time my Lamando key fob ran out of battery, I successfully replaced it myself. There's a small gap along the edge of the key shell - just gently pry it open with a coin or small screwdriver, being careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the plastic cover. Inside you'll find a small round CR2032 battery, which costs about 5 yuan at supermarkets. When removing the old battery, avoid touching the metal contacts inside. Install the new battery with the smooth side facing up - don't put it in backwards. Press the cover firmly until you hear a click, indicating it's properly secured. After replacement, test the remote by locking the car to confirm it works. Key fob batteries typically last about two years. DIY replacement saves time and money compared to visiting a repair shop. When purchasing batteries, choose reputable brands as inferior products may leak and damage the key. Avoid dropping the key and keep it dry to extend its lifespan.
