Steps to replace the remote battery for Roewe cars: 1. There is a silver button on the top of the key—press it to eject the mechanical key; 2. After ejecting the key, you will see a clasp on the side—use a flathead screwdriver to pry it open; 3. Be gentle when prying to avoid damaging the key; 4. Once a gap appears, lift open the key cover and remove the old battery; 5. Replace it with a new battery and reattach the cover. Roewe (ROEWE) is an automotive brand under SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, with models including the Roewe 350, Roewe 550, New Roewe 750, Roewe W5, and Roewe 950.
Changing the battery in a Roewe car's remote key is actually quite simple. I've done it myself several times. The remote key usually uses a CR2032 coin cell battery, which can be bought at supermarkets or online. First, take a thin tool like a coin or a plastic card, align it with the gap on the back of the key, and gently pry it open. Avoid using sharp objects to prevent scratches. Once opened, you'll see the internal structure, with the small battery compartment in the middle. Gently remove the old battery. Take note of the positive and negative terminal positions, then insert the new battery accordingly, with the positive side facing the direction of the indicator arrow. After placing the battery, snap the cover back into place until you hear a click. It's best to immediately test the key by pressing the lock or unlock button to ensure it responds properly. Common issues include the battery being inserted the wrong way, causing the key to malfunction, or the cover not being securely fastened, leading to parts falling out. Avoid storing the key in damp places, as this can affect battery life. I recommend checking it every two years to avoid emergency situations where the key fails when needed, and keeping spare batteries on hand for peace of mind.
