Steps to replace the battery in an Emgrand GL key: 1. Take out the car key and press the mechanical lock button on the side of the key; 2. Pull out the mechanical key; 3. Remove the old battery from inside the key; 4. Take out the new battery and replace it directly, paying attention to the positive and negative sides of the battery; 5. After replacing the battery, reattach the two separated parts of the key and insert the mechanical key. The Emgrand GL has a length of 4725mm, width of 1802mm, height of 1478mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, front track of 1551mm, rear track of 1555mm, and its engine has a maximum power of 104kw and a maximum torque of 235nm.
Changing the battery for the Emgrand GL key is quite simple, and I've done it several times myself. First, locate the small groove on the side of the key, which usually has a snap-fit design—don't pry it open forcefully. Use a small Phillips screwdriver or a plastic pry tool to gently open the casing, applying light pressure to avoid rough edges. Inside, you'll find a CR2032 coin cell battery. Remove the old battery with your fingernail or a small tool, making sure not to reverse the polarity—typically, the positive side faces up and fits snugly. After inserting the new battery, press it gently back into place until you hear a click, indicating it's properly seated. Finally, reassemble the casing, ensuring there are no gaps. I recommend using high-quality CR2032 batteries, which you can find at supermarkets for just a few bucks. After replacing, test the remote lock and unlock functions. If there's no response, it might be due to improper installation or poor battery quality. Avoid exposing the key to water to prolong its lifespan and prevent contact corrosion.
