2 Answers
Steps to replace the remote battery for Volvo S90: 1. Remove the mechanical key. Open the panel to see the mechanical key, which is fixed between two panels via a slot. Press the small black button on the top of the key sideways and push the logo side forward to open it; 2. Press the protruding button on the back panel sideways and pull the back panel upward by 5mm. At this point, the back panel will detach from the main body and can be removed; 3. Rotate the battery cover to the 'ope' position, then remove the battery cover from the gap and take out the O-ring seal; 4. Now you can see the coin battery, which is model CR2032. Simply remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. The Volvo S90 is a luxury sedan under the Volvo brand. The dimensions of this car are 5090mm in length, 1879mm in width, 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3061mm.
I've been driving a Volvo S90 for several years and change the remote key battery quite frequently. Locate the small notch on the back of the key, gently pry open the cover with a fingernail or small screwdriver. Inside is a CR2032 battery, placed with the positive side facing up. Be careful not to scratch the contacts when removing the old battery, and buy the new one from a Volvo dealership or reputable supermarket to avoid leakage damaging the key. Close the cover firmly and shake it to ensure no rattling sounds. The battery typically lasts about two years—replace it early if the remote range shortens, don’t wait until it fails and causes embarrassment. The Volvo key has a backup mechanical slot, allowing emergency door opening if the battery dies. Keeping a spare battery in the glove box is convenient and reassuring.
