Method for replacing the key battery of Mercedes-Benz Vito: 1. There is a button on the back of the key. Press this button and push the back cover of the key forward to open it; 2. The battery is located in the adjacent slot. Remove the old battery by prying open the slot and replace it with a new one. Most Mercedes-Benz key batteries use the model 3V CR2025; 3. After replacing the battery, reattach the back cover of the key. Taking the 2020 Elite Edition 8-seater Mercedes-Benz Vito as an example, it is an MPV with body dimensions of 5370mm in length, 1928mm in width, 1880mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3430mm, equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine.
For replacing the battery in a Mercedes Vito key, I've tried it several times myself and found it quite easy. There's usually a small button or gap on the key. Just use a small tool like a coin or thin screwdriver to gently pry open the casing. Inside is a coin cell battery, typically a CR2025 model. Remember the orientation of the old battery's positive and negative poles to avoid mistakes, and make sure the new battery is placed correctly. When closing the casing, align it properly with the slots to avoid forcing and damaging it. If the key stops working, try unlocking the car door and starting the vehicle again. Avoid storing the key in high-temperature areas to extend battery life by several months. DIY replacement saves dozens of dollars, but if you're too nervous, just visit a garage. The manual also provides detailed instructions, and don't forget to keep a spare battery in the car for emergencies.
