Method for replacing the key battery of the New Octavia: 1. Open the key and apply force along the direction of the arrow to open one corner of the battery cover; 2. Apply force along the direction of the arrow to open the other corner of the battery cover, then you can lift the battery cover; 3. Once the exposed coin battery is visible, apply force diagonally downward to pop out the battery; 4. Reinstall the battery, first close this side of the battery cover, then apply downward force on the other side until you hear a click, indicating that the installation is in place. The New Octavia is the first environmentally friendly model introduced by the Volkswagen Group in China and the first domestic model of the Škoda GreenLine series. In terms of body dimensions, the New Octavia measures 4659mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2686mm.
Replacing the battery for the new Octavia's key is actually quite simple. I usually enjoy tinkering with small car parts like this myself. Here are the steps: First, confirm the key model typically uses a CR2032 battery, which you can easily buy new at a supermarket. Then, locate the small groove on the side of the key and gently pry open the key casing using a fingernail or a small screwdriver—be careful not to apply too much force to avoid cracking it. When removing the old battery, pay attention to the positive and negative markings, and place the new battery in the same position with the positive side facing up. After reassembling the casing, test the unlock button. If it's not responsive, it might be a contact issue—try pressing it a few times. For regular maintenance, periodically check the key button's responsiveness to avoid the embarrassment of a dead battery. The whole process takes less than five minutes, saving both money and hassle. Before starting, it's best to close the car windows to prevent any mishaps. After replacement, the battery should last one to two years.
