How to Replace the Battery in a Lavida Car Key?
2 Answers
The method for replacing the battery in the new Lavida key is as follows: 1. There are two screws on the back cover of the car key. Use a screwdriver to remove each screw, then open the back cover to see the battery panel. Remove the old battery, install the new battery, then reattach the back cover and tighten the screws. 2. The Lavida is a sedan produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4670 mm in length, 1806 mm in width, and 1474 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688 mm. The new Lavida features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension, and a body structure of unibody construction.
I've owned my Lavida for a few years now, and the key fob running out of battery is a common occurrence. Changing the battery is quite simple. There's a small notch on the side or back of the key—use a flathead screwdriver or a coin to gently pry open the casing. Be careful not to apply too much force to avoid scratching the plastic. Once opened, you'll see a small round battery, usually a CR2032 model. Buy a new one exactly the same; they're available at supermarkets or auto parts stores for about a dozen yuan. When removing the old battery, pay attention to the positive and negative terminals—the side with the plus sign should face upwards, which is the correct orientation. When inserting the new battery, align it properly and press it in gently. Before closing the casing, test the buttons to ensure the light or functionality is restored. I recommend replacing the battery every two years to prevent sudden failure from affecting your car usage. The key casing isn't easily damaged, but be patient when prying it open to avoid losing small parts.
