The method to replace the battery in a Vezel car key is: 1. Locate the small switch on the car key and flip it; 2. Pull out the metal mechanical key; 3. Use the extracted mechanical key to pry open the car key cover, separating it; 4. After opening the car key cover, the key splits into two halves, with the battery housed in one of them; 5. Remove the old battery and insert the new one; 6. Reattach the key cover. The Vezel is GAC Honda's first SUV, with exterior dimensions of 4294mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1605mm in height. It is equipped with a 1.8L i-VTEC naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine.
Changing the battery for the Vezel key is actually quite simple, just a few steps. There's a small gap or button on the back of the key. I use a fingernail or a coin to gently pry open the shell, being careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the plastic. Inside is a small button battery, model CR2032, which can be bought at any supermarket or online store. It's better to buy a new brand like Panasonic for durability. When removing the old battery, be careful not to bend the internal circuit. When inserting the new battery, make sure the positive side is facing up (look for the + sign on the battery), align it properly, and press it in place. After closing the shell, press the unlock button on the key to test it. If it lights up, it's good to go; if not, check if the connection is secure. To prevent the battery from draining too quickly, avoid keeping the key in the same pocket as your phone, as it can cause interference. I change the battery every 1-2 years and regularly test the button feel to detect weak power in advance. Doing it yourself only takes a few minutes, saving you a trip to the dealership and extra costs.
To replace the Vezel key battery, I've tried several methods. There are small grooves on both sides of the key. I usually use a small screwdriver or the corner of a keyring to gently pry it open. Once the casing separates, you can see the small round battery inside. The battery model is a CR2032 coin cell, which you can buy in bulk online for just a few bucks. When inserting the new battery, make sure the positive side faces up (the old battery has a + mark). After putting the cover back on, press firmly and test the buttons. The whole process takes about 10 seconds—don't worry about messing it up. The first time might be shaky, but practice makes perfect. As a side tip, try to keep the key dry and store it in a drawer to prevent drops. When the battery is running low, the remote range will decrease, so replace it in time to avoid awkward situations on the road.
