2 Answers
Here are the steps to replace the remote control battery for the Peugeot 2008: 1. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the gap at the end of the key and pry open the battery cover, which is the small area with the Peugeot lion logo. No excessive force is needed. 2. The battery is a CR2032, a very common battery model available in supermarkets. 3. Use the screwdriver to gently pry between the battery and the casing to remove the battery. 4. Install the new battery, cover the key's panel, and finally reattach the mechanical key. Important notes: 1. The battery model for the Peugeot 2008 is CR2032. When the battery needs replacement, a prompt message will appear on the combination instrument display. When installing the new battery, pay attention to the positive and negative positions, securely close the remote cover, and reinitialize the remote control. 2. If the car key is lost, please bring identification and vehicle registration documents to an authorized Peugeot service provider to inquire about the key code and remote control code for a replacement key.
Replacing the battery on a Peugeot 2008 is actually quite easy; I've done it myself several times. First, ensure the car is completely turned off with all lights and electronics switched off, then pop the hood—the release lever is by the driver's left foot, just pull it. The battery is on the right side of the engine bay, easily visible. Wear insulated gloves for safety. Start by loosening the negative terminal clamp with a 10mm wrench, being careful not to short it against the car body. Then loosen the positive terminal in the same way. The battery base might have a securing strap—unclip it and remove the old battery. Clean the metal contact points before placing the new battery: align it properly, tighten the positive clamp first, then the negative. After installing the new battery, start the engine to check if the headlights and dashboard are functioning normally. The whole process takes less than half an hour, saving money and honing DIY skills. Regularly avoid deep discharging the battery to extend its lifespan.
