To replace the battery in a Mercedes-Benz C200 Estate key, follow these steps: 1. Push the small serrated switch at the end of the remote to the right, which will release a manual key. 2. After pulling out the key, gently insert it into the hole at the back of the key slot. Insert it about one centimeter until you feel a latch for the remote's battery cover, then pry it open. 3. Once the cover is open, you can see the remote's battery. 4. Press the battery to release it, take it out, replace it with a new one, and then close the key cover. Here is more information about Mercedes-Benz: 1. Mercedes-Benz is a German automobile brand, considered one of the most successful premium car brands in the world. In June 1909, Daimler AG registered the three-pointed star as the emblem for its cars, symbolizing mechanization on land, water, and in the air. 2. In some regions, Mercedes-Benz is also known as 'Benz'.
Last time I changed the battery for my Mercedes-Benz C200 station wagon's key fob myself, and it was actually quite simple. First, make sure the battery model is CR2025, which you can buy at any supermarket or auto parts store. There's a thin groove on the back of the key—use a coin or flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the metal back cover. Be careful not to use too much force when opening it, as the Mercedes key casing is quite delicate and can easily get scratched. The battery is nestled in a slot inside; use a fingernail to pop it out. Pay attention to the orientation—the side with the + sign should face upwards when reinstalling. After inserting the new battery, press the cover firmly until you hear a click, indicating it's properly secured. The whole process takes about three minutes, saving you the 200-yuan labor fee at the dealership. Remember to test the lock function by pressing the key buttons a few times after replacement. If you're not confident in your DIY skills, searching for tutorial videos online and following along is a safer bet.
