The battery model for the Vitara remote key is CR2032. The Vitara is a compact SUV introduced by Changan Suzuki. The dimensions of the Vitara are: length 4175 mm, width 1775 mm, height 1610 mm, with a wheelbase of 2500 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters, and a ground clearance of 185 mm. The Vitara is equipped with an inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum torque of 220 Nm, with the maximum torque range between 1700 to 4000 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been driving my Vitara for five years and have replaced the key battery twice. The model is the common CR2032 button battery, with Panasonic ones costing about 8-9 yuan at supermarkets and lasting around two years. Changing the battery is extremely simple: just push the small latch on the side of the key, and the casing pops open. Carefully remove the old battery, remembering the crucial point that the positive side faces up. When installing the new battery, avoid directly touching the metal surface with your fingers, as oil and sweat can corrode the contacts. After closing the casing, immediately press the remote buttons a few times to test the car light response. I recommend keeping a spare battery in the glove compartment—I once experienced sudden failure in an underground garage, and fixing it myself in five minutes was much easier than calling for a tow truck. Also, avoid keeping the key in the same pocket as your phone, as electromagnetic interference drains the battery quickly.
