The method to replace the battery in a Qoros 5 car key: 1. Turn the key over to see the mechanical key switch, then pull out the mechanical key; 2. Stand the key upright, and at the opening where the mechanical key was removed, you will see the word 'OPEN' with a small hole below it. You can use a flat-head screwdriver to pry it open; 3. Once pried open, the upper and lower parts of the key will separate, with the circuit board protected by a white plastic cover; 4. Lift the white cover and circuit board to access the battery, then replace it. The Qoros 5 has a body size of 4600 mm in length, 1869 mm in width, and 1658 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2710 mm.

Replacing the battery in a Qoros 5 car key is actually quite simple. I've done it myself several times. First, locate the small groove on the side of the key, then use a small screwdriver or coin to pry open the back cover – be gentle to avoid damaging the plastic casing. Once the cover is off, you'll see the coin cell battery, typically a CR2032 model, so make sure to buy the same type from a supermarket or online. Use a tool to gently remove the old battery, paying attention to the positive side facing up to avoid incorrect placement, which could render the new battery ineffective. Insert the new battery firmly, then snap the back cover back into place with a click. Finally, test the lock and unlock functions to ensure the buttons work properly. Since the battery tends to drain faster with prolonged use, it's wise to keep a spare battery at home. The whole process takes just a minute or two, saving you the cost and hassle of visiting a repair shop – convenient and economical!
I've been repairing cars for over a decade and have seen plenty of minor jobs like replacing key fob batteries. The structure of the Qoros 5 key is quite common—use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the seam of the back cover, being careful not to force it to avoid cracking. When you see the battery compartment, note the model CR2032. Before inserting the new battery, clean the contacts to prevent poor connectivity. During installation, ensure the battery's positive side faces upward, align it properly, and press firmly. Many people skip the testing step—after replacement, press the key buttons to check if the lock lights flash. If there's no response, start over. I recommend checking the battery regularly; don't wait until it's dead to act. A repair shop might charge you dozens of yuan for this, but doing it at home costs just a few yuan and gives you some hands-on experience!
