How to Replace the Battery in a Tiida Key?
2 Answers
The method to replace the battery in a Tiida key is: 1. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the spare key and take out the old battery; 2. Install the new battery and reassemble the parts in their original order. Taking the 2021 Tiida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4393mm, width 1766mm, height 1539mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a curb weight of 1180kg. The 2021 Tiida features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122PS, a maximum power of 90kW, and a maximum torque of 155Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Yesterday, my Nissan Tiida's key fob ran out of battery, so I replaced the battery myself. The steps are quite simple: First, prepare a small screwdriver or a hard coin and find a flat surface to work on. There's a small gap on the back of the Tiida key fob—align your tool with it and gently pry it open. Don't use too much force to avoid damaging the plastic casing. Once opened, you'll see a small battery, usually a CR2025 model. Remove the old battery, remembering that the positive side faces upward. Buy a new battery, insert it with the correct orientation, and press the key fob cover back into place. Finally, test whether the remote locking function has been restored. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes, saving both money and hassle. The Tiida's key fob design is quite good—it's not easy to pinch your fingers—but it's recommended to check it every two years to avoid trouble when parking. I've used this method twice, and the batteries can be bought at supermarkets or online. The key is to be careful not to lose the tiny switch components inside the key fob. If you fail, just visit a repair shop.
