Steps to replace the key battery of Volkswagen Touareg: 1. Pull out the metal mechanical key from the car key; 2. Use tweezers to press into a groove on the car key until the bottom, then pry open the battery cover; 3. You will see a small button, open it and replace the CR1620 button battery. The Touareg is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4878mm in length, 1984mm in width, and 1686mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2899mm. The Touareg is equipped with two engines: one is a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 185 kW and a maximum torque of 370 Nm; the 3.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 250 kW and a maximum torque of 450 Nm.
Changing the battery in a Volkswagen Touareg key isn't actually complicated, and I'll share my experience. First, prepare the necessary tools, such as a small flat-head screwdriver or a key fob opening tool. The key's back cover usually has small notches; gently pry it open to reveal the battery compartment. Remember not to force it open to avoid scratching the plastic. The old battery is typically a CR2032 coin cell—check the installation direction carefully to avoid mixing up the positive and negative terminals. Wear gloves when removing the old battery to prevent static electricity. When inserting the new battery, ensure good contact; you'll hear a click when it's properly seated. Then, reattach the back cover and press it a few times to test the remote unlocking function. It's recommended to replace the battery every two years to avoid running out of power when you're out. The key is designed to be compact, so handle it gently during the process to prevent damage to internal components.
