Method for replacing the battery in a Tiggo 5 car key: There are two screws on the back cover of the car key. Use a screwdriver to remove each screw, then open the back cover to reveal the battery panel. Remove the old battery, install the new one, reattach the back cover, and secure the screws. The remote key utilizes the wireless remote control function of the central locking system, allowing you to unlock and lock the doors from a distance without inserting the key into the lock. The Tiggo 5 has a body length, width, and height of 4506mm, 1841mm, and 1740mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 112kW and a maximum torque of 205Nm.
As a long-time owner of the Tiggo 5, I've changed the key battery a few times, and the process is actually quite simple. First, locate the small indentation on the back of the key, then gently pry open the battery cover using a flat-head screwdriver or a paperclip. Be careful when prying to avoid scratching the plastic casing with excessive force. Before removing the old battery, note which side is facing up; the new battery should be a CR2032 model—other types won't fit properly. When inserting the new battery, ensure the positive side faces up and aligns with the contact points; reversing it could damage the circuit. After closing the cover, press the buttons to test—if the light turns on, you've succeeded. I recommend replacing it every two years to avoid sudden failure while driving. DIY replacement costs just a few yuan for the battery, saving you dozens compared to a dealership visit. Tool selection is crucial—I learned the hard way using overly rigid tools, but switching to a plastic card proved much safer.
