Method for replacing the battery in a New Lavida key: 1. Eject the metal mechanical key; 2. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry open the key casing; 3. After prying it open, carefully remove the battery from the panel and replace it with a new one; 4. Ensure the new battery is installed correctly with the right polarity; 5. Finally, reassemble the key by reversing the steps. The New Lavida is a compact family sedan produced by Volkswagen, with exterior dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, a wheelbase of 2610mm. It features front-wheel drive, front and rear disc brakes, and is equipped with a 1.4T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine.
I also just replaced the battery in my Lavida key a few days ago, and the steps are actually quite simple. All you need is a thin screwdriver and a new CR2032 battery. First, gently pry open the key casing along the middle seam using the screwdriver, being careful not to use too much force. Once open, remove the old battery and make sure to place the new one with the silver side facing up. Finally, snap the casing back together with a click. It's best to avoid keeping your car key near your phone as electromagnetic interference can drain the battery life—my previous battery lasted nearly two years before needing replacement. The whole process takes about five minutes, and you'll save dozens of yuan compared to getting it done at a 4S shop.
