The battery model for the 10th-generation Civic key is generally CR2032. Ensure the correct model when replacing the battery. Below is an introduction to the 10th-generation Civic: Exterior: Features a more youthful and sporty design. The side profile is bolder than the front; it adopts 'bracket-style' LED taillights with a dart-like shape, appealing to younger audiences. Powertrain: Offers a choice between 1.0T and 1.5T turbocharged engines. The 1.5T engine delivers a maximum power of 177 kW and peak torque of 220 Nm, paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission. Safety: Comes with a comprehensive suite of features. Standard equipment includes driver/passenger airbags, tire pressure monitoring, keyless entry, one-touch start, EPB electronic parking brake with Autohold, VSA vehicle stability control, EBD electronic brake-force distribution, HAS hill-start assist, and emergency braking alert.
I noticed that most older Honda Civic keys use CR2032 coin cell batteries, which are easily available at supermarkets or hardware stores. Opening the key casing is simple: there's a small notch at the bottom of the key—just gently pry it open with a coin or flathead screwdriver, being careful not to scratch the plastic shell. Two winters ago, my car key suddenly stopped working. I thought the battery was dead, but even after replacing it, the issue persisted. It turned out the key had been dropped in water, causing the contacts to oxidize. Cleaning the metal contacts with an alcohol wipe fixed it. I recommend keeping two CR2032 batteries in your car for emergencies—it saves you from being caught off guard.
