The battery model is CR2025. It is a lithium manganese dioxide battery, named according to the IEC standard. Among them: C- indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode; R- indicates that the battery shape is cylindrical, if it is square, F is used instead; 20 indicates the battery diameter is 20mm; 25 represents the battery height is 2.5mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, the endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and the rated capacity ranges from 140-170mAh. CR2025 typically has a lifespan of 5 years. If the manufacturer's production level is low or quality control is poor, its lifespan will be significantly shortened. Domestic first-tier brand batteries can generally guarantee this lifespan. Under ideal usage conditions (sealed, room temperature, no moisture interference, etc.), the lifespan can be further extended to 8 years or even 10 years. The usage time of the car remote key battery is closely related to the frequency of use. The more frequently it is used, the shorter the usage time will be. If the remote key battery runs out, the mechanical key can be used directly to unlock and start the vehicle. The batteries used in car remote keys are button batteries, mainly three types: CR2016, CR2025, and CR2032. For the specific model used in each vehicle, owners can refer to the battery model in the user manual for replacement. Button-type CR2016 battery: The usage rate of car key remotes is very high, making it one of the most common car remote batteries. The battery voltage is 3V, and generally, car key batteries are powered by 9V, so all three batteries need to be replaced each time. Examples include Guangben, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda, etc. CR2016 specifications: battery diameter is 20mm, thickness is 1.6mm. Button-type CR2025 battery: Its usage rate is much lower than CR2016. However, it is still used in some car keys. It is thicker than the 2016 model but has a relatively higher storage capacity. CR2025 specifications: battery diameter is 20mm, thickness is 2.5mm. This type of battery is also commonly used in audio remotes. Button battery CR2032: The voltage is also 3V, but the capacity is around 200mAh, making the thickness twice that of CR2016. The 3V-CR2032 lithium manganese battery belongs to the lithium-manganese dioxide structure. The positive electrode material is chemically very stable manganese dioxide, the negative electrode material is metallic lithium, and the electrolyte is a lithium battery. The main components of the electrolyte are ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, propylene carbonate, and lithium perchlorate. It is shaped like a button, hence the name button lithium battery or lithium manganese button battery.

The battery model for the 19th-generation Sagitar car key is usually CR2032, a small button cell that is readily available at convenience stores and online. I've replaced it several times myself. Just note that there's a small groove on the back of the key—using a coin to twist it open will reveal the battery compartment. The original battery is marked with "CR2032." When installing a new battery, make sure the positive side (the one with the + sign) faces upward and aligns with the metal contact. Once, I installed it backward, and the key stopped working immediately—it was quite a scramble. This type of battery lasts over a year, and faster drain in cold weather is normal. It's safest to keep a spare battery in the car. Avoid scratching the plastic clips with metal tools during removal. If the key light turns on after reassembly, you've succeeded.

I've been driving my 2019 Sagitar for over three years, and changing the key fob battery is super easy. The required battery model is the most common CR2032, which you can find on small battery racks near supermarket checkout counters. When unscrewing the back cover of the key, pay attention to the edge of the battery slot - there's a small arrow indicating the rotation direction. The original battery is printed with CR2032/3V, and the side with text should face up during installation. Last time my neighbor aunt installed the battery backwards and nearly fried the key chip. I recommend buying Sony or Panasonic batteries for better durability - they're compact enough to keep as spares in your wallet. Remember to test the remote control range after replacement to ensure it's back to normal. If your remote doesn't work well in underground garages, that's usually the signal to change the battery.

The 2019 Sagitar key uses a CR2032 coin cell battery. You can see the battery compartment by unscrewing the back cover of the key. The old battery has the model number marked on its edge. A new battery costs around ten yuan, so don't be overcharged by the dealership. Pay special attention to the battery orientation—the flat side (printed side) must face upward. I've seen people break the clips by using excessive force; actually, just twist it counterclockwise with a coin for half a turn to open. After replacement, test the response speed of the lock button, as battery performance may decline in winter and fail prematurely. Keeping a spare battery in the car is the most convenient solution.

Can mineral engine oil still be used after seven months?

Mineral engine oil cannot be used after seven months because it deteriorates rapidly after being stored for more than six months, significantly reducing its lubrication effectiveness. Below are detailed explanations: Usage cycles for different types of engine oil: Mineral engine oil needs to be replaced every 5,000 kilometers or six months. Semi-synthetic engine oil has a usage cycle of about 7,500 kilometers or eight months. Fully synthetic engine oil has a usage cycle of about 10,000 kilometers or one year. Hazards of not changing engine oil for a long time: If a car does not change its engine oil for an extended period, the oil will become ineffective and deteriorate. Instead of providing protection, it will increase wear and damage to engine components. Additionally, its cooling effect diminishes, leading to the accumulation of a large amount of carbon deposits and sludge.

Do new cars come with a spare tire?

Some new cars are equipped with a spare tire and corresponding tools, which can be used to replace a flat tire. However, many models do not come with a spare tire, such as all BMW models and most Mercedes-Benz series. Below is a detailed introduction to spare tires: Types of spare tires: Spare tires are generally divided into two types: full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. A full-size spare tire has the same specifications as the regular tires and can replace any problematic tire. A non-full-size spare tire is only for temporary use. Precautions for using spare tires: If a spare tire has not been used for a long time, it should be replaced promptly. After four years, the spare tire needs to be replaced. Even for a full-size spare tire, speed should be controlled when driving on highways.

Why Does Tire Pressure Increase?

Tire pressure increases primarily due to temperature effects causing thermal expansion and contraction of gases. Friction between the tire and the road surface, as well as among various tire components, generates heat, leading to higher internal tire pressure, which is a normal phenomenon. Below is relevant information about tire pressure: Tire pressure requires regular maintenance: Tire pressure is significantly influenced by seasonal factors. In summer, high temperatures cause tires to heat up during driving, and excessive pressure can lead to blowouts, so tire pressure should be slightly lower. In winter, tire pressure should be slightly higher than in summer due to thermal contraction and expansion. Generally, a car's tire pressure can be increased by 0.1-0.2 bar in winter. Effects of improper tire pressure: Incorrect tire pressure reduces friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance and ride comfort. It also accelerates uneven wear on the central tread pattern, shortening the tire's lifespan.

Does installing an ETC device require electricity?

Installing an ETC does not require a power source. Current ETC devices come with their own power supply, typically with a battery lifespan of 3 to 5 years. New OBUs feature solar panels that can recharge using solar energy, eliminating the need to connect to the vehicle's power supply. ETC installation position requirements: Height should not be less than 1.2 meters or exceed 2.5 meters; installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the electronic tag surface and the horizontal plane). The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and a red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" and "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield, ensuring the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing on the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device.
