2 Answers
Method for replacing the battery in a Tiggo 5 key: There are two screws on the back cover of the car key. Use a screwdriver to remove each screw separately. Once the back cover is opened, you can see the battery panel. Remove the old battery, install the new one, then reattach the back cover and tighten the screws. The Tiggo 5 is a sporty SUV. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4506mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1740mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. For power, the Tiggo 5 is equipped with a 1.5T engine, model SQRE4T15, with a maximum power output of 112kw. It is paired with either a 7-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. In terms of appearance, this car adopts Chery's family-style design, featuring a rectangular air intake grille paired with polygonal headlights and stylish chrome decorations, giving this SUV a rugged design style.
I've replaced the battery for my Tiggo 5 key several times myself, and it's quite simple. The key uses a CR2032 coin cell battery, which can be easily purchased at supermarkets or online. First, locate the small gap in the middle of the key and gently pry open the casing using a flathead screwdriver or a coin, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid breaking the internal clips. Once opened, you'll see a small battery compartment containing the old battery; the battery has a positive mark facing upward, so make sure to note the correct orientation to avoid installing it backward. Next, remove the old battery and replace it with a new CR2032, then press the casing firmly together and test if the unlock button lights up normally. The whole process takes just a few minutes. I recommend keeping a spare battery handy in case of emergencies, as the battery typically lasts one to two years before the signal weakens and needs replacement. I also applied a bit of lubricant to the clips to make it easier to open next time, preventing it from getting stuck again. Doing it yourself saves time and money compared to visiting a repair shop, and it's quite fun. Regularly checking the key's battery level can help avoid unexpected situations.
