Cadillac XTS remote battery replacement method: 1. Remove the mechanical key; 2. After pulling out the mechanical key, use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the key by inserting it into the gap; 3. Once opened, you will see the battery, but pay attention to the clips around the battery. Replace with a new battery and reassemble the key. The Cadillac XTS is a mid-to-large-sized car launched by Cadillac, with body dimensions of 5103mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1502mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2837mm.

I found that replacing the remote battery for the Cadillac XTS is quite simple—worth giving it a try. There's a small button or sliding latch on the back of the key; press it to pop open the rear cover. The battery model is CR2032, available for a few bucks at supermarkets—just don’t mix up the polarity. The battery has a ‘+’ mark; align it correctly when installing. I’ve replaced mine several times—if inserted backward, the key won’t respond. Handle gently; avoid using knives to pry, as they can scratch the casing. Finally, snap the cover back on and test the door unlock or lights to confirm it works. Over time, the battery degrades, so proactively replacing it every two years prevents embarrassing mid-use failures. Keeping the key clean and free of dust or moisture is a key maintenance tip.
