The method for replacing the battery in a Cadillac remote is: 1. Press the switch and pull out the mechanical car key upwards; 2. Pry open the key along the edge gap; 3. Remove the old battery and install a new one; 4. Reset the key. The functions of the key include: 1. Automatically closing the windows after turning off the engine; 2. Conveniently locating the car in a parking lot; 3. Automatically opening the trunk; 4. Remotely opening the windows. Cadillac models include: Cadillac CT5, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac CT4, Cadillac XT4, Cadillac XTS, etc. Taking the 2018 Cadillac XTS as an example, it is a full-size car with body dimensions of: length 5103mm, width 1852mm, height 1502mm, wheelbase 2837mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters.
I've been driving a Cadillac for several years and always replace the remote's battery myself. There's a small gap or clip on the back of the remote—just use a flathead screwdriver or a stiff card to gently pry it open. Once the cover is off, you'll see a small battery inside, usually a CR2032, which is cheap to buy at convenience stores. When removing the old battery, be careful not to use excessive force, and make sure to note the positive and negative markings. Insert the new battery the same way, with the positive side facing up. Press the cover back on firmly and test the remote to ensure it works. If it doesn't, check the battery contacts for dirt and clean them with a tissue. The whole process takes less than five minutes, saving you a trip to the dealership and unnecessary expenses. Remember to replace the battery annually, as cold weather drains it faster—better to do it early than embarrass yourself when you're out.
