2 Answers
Modern ix35 car key battery replacement method is: 1. Press the silver round button on the car key, hold the key body and pull out the top part; 2. Remove the mechanical key, use a screwdriver or other hard object to pry open; 3. After opening the key, remove the old battery and replace it with a new one (pay attention to the battery orientation to avoid incorrect installation); 4. Finally, close the cover and reinsert the metal mechanical key. Additional information: The modern ix35 is equipped with an inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 103 kW, reaching maximum power at 6000 rpm, a maximum torque of 242 Nm, achieving maximum torque between 1500 to 3200 rpm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've replaced the battery in my ix35 key fob several times myself and find it quite convenient. First, locate the small notch on the edge of the key - most models have a spot where you can pry it open. Use a small screwdriver or credit card to gently separate the housing. Inside you'll see a round battery, usually a CR2032 coin cell. When removing the old battery, remember the positive/negative orientation and install the new one the same way with the plus side facing up. Snap the housing back together firmly until you hear a click. Finally, test the buttons to see if the light comes on or if it unlocks properly. I recommend keeping a spare battery in your car - they're available at supermarkets for just a few dollars. These batteries typically last 1-2 years, and DIY replacement saves you dealership wait times while being just as reliable. Just keep your key dry and avoid water exposure.
