Method to replace the battery in the GAC GS4 remote key: Locate a small switch on the back of the car key, press it, then pull the metal part upwards to remove the mechanical key. After removing the mechanical key, you will see a small groove in the middle of the key. Use the head of the mechanical key to pry open the key cover. Once the cover is removed, you can see the battery inside, which can then be replaced. The GAC GS4 features an optimized L-arm MacPherson front independent suspension and a front shock absorber with dual-channel outer connection sleeve technology, effectively absorbing minor road vibrations for excellent comfort and road feedback. The multi-link rear independent suspension inherits the brand's consistent chassis performance DNA, combining agile handling with good dynamic stability to enhance both vehicle control and comfort.
I've been driving the GAC GS4 for many years, and changing the key battery is a routine task. There's a thin slit on the back of the remote key. You can gently pry open the shell with a hard card or a small knife blade—just don't use too much force to avoid breaking the plastic. When removing the old battery, make sure to note the model is CR2032. This small button cell is easy to find and available at regular supermarkets or hardware stores. When installing the new battery, place it with the positive side facing up, align it with the slot, press firmly, and then snap the cover back into place. After replacing, immediately test the lock and unlock functions by pressing the buttons to confirm the light turns on. A friendly reminder: always keep an eye on the battery lifespan. Generally, replacing it every one or two years is the safest bet to avoid sudden failure—like being unable to lock the car late at night and having to fuss with the mechanical key, which can be a real headache.
