Method for replacing the battery in a Nissan Sylphy car key: 1. Remove the mechanical key; 2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open a small gap from the side seam of the key, then gradually open the seam along the gap to separate the key casing; 3. Use the flat-head screwdriver to remove the old battery, insert the new battery (ensure the positive side faces downward), reinstall the circuit board, align the key cover, and press firmly until a clicking sound is heard, indicating it is secured. The Nissan Sylphy is a compact car introduced by Dongfeng Nissan, with dimensions of 4641mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1450mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2712mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine delivering a maximum power of 99kW, paired with either a CVT transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission.
Last time, the buttons on my Nissan Sylphy key fob started acting up, and I thought it was broken. But upon checking, it turned out the battery was dead, so I decided to replace it myself. The key fob usually has a small gap on the side with the buttons—just use a thin, rigid item like a credit card or a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry it open. Inside, you’ll find a flat battery, model CR2032. Remember the orientation of the old battery to avoid reversing the new one, as this could damage the circuit board. Then, insert the new battery and reassemble the case. After reassembly, I immediately tested the buttons—standing near the car, I pressed them, and the lights came on! The whole process took less than ten minutes. I recommend paying attention to your key fob’s responsiveness; if the buttons become sluggish, replace the battery promptly to avoid a trip to the dealership. Also, CR2032 batteries typically last one to two years—opt for high-quality ones to prevent leakage.
