Close the back cover and reassemble the key. The Trumpchi GS4 is a compact SUV under GAC, with dimensions of 4525mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. The dashboard is inspired by X-shaped elements and features dual 12.3-inch high-definition screens. The diamond cockpit concept, combined with racing-style seats and more premium materials, gives the interior a more distinctive look.
I usually enjoy fixing these small issues myself, and replacing the battery for the Trumpchi GS4 key is quite simple. First, locate the side or back cover of the key where there might be a small gap. Use a coin or a flat key to gently pry open the casing—don’t apply too much force to avoid scratching the plastic. Once opened, you’ll see a small button battery, typically a CR2032. Note the positive and negative terminals—the positive side usually faces upward. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new CR2032, ensuring the correct electrode orientation; if installed backward, the key won’t work. Finally, snap the cover back on and press the remote button to test if the key functions properly. The whole process takes just a few minutes. The battery can be bought online or at a supermarket for around ten yuan, so there’s no need to waste time making a special trip to the 4S shop.
When replacing key fob batteries, safety is paramount. I always remind my friends to pay attention to these points. Make sure the key isn't near the car when pressing buttons to avoid accidentally triggering the alarm. Use plastic tools or wooden sticks to open the casing, avoiding metal objects that could cause a short circuit. Pry gently to prevent damaging the clips. After removing the old battery, clean any dust from the battery compartment as dirt may cause poor contact. When installing the new battery, ensure the positive side faces up and aligns with the slot, then gently press to close the cover. Test the unlocking function immediately after completion. If it doesn't work, check if the battery is inserted backwards or if the battery model is incorrect. If unsure how to open the casing, refer to the vehicle manual or search for a video tutorial. While DIY is simple, carelessness can easily damage the circuitry.
