The method for replacing the battery in a Tiggo 5 car key is as follows: 1. There are two screws on the back cover of the car key; use a screwdriver to remove each screw. 2. Open the back cover, remove the old battery, and replace it. 3. Close the back cover and secure the screws. Functions of the car key: 1. After turning off the vehicle, press and hold the lock button on the remote key to close the windows. 2. The red horn-shaped button on the key serves both as a vehicle locator and an emergency signal. 3. It features an automatic trunk-opening function. The principle of the car key is that it emits a weak radio wave around the owner. The car antenna receives this signal, and the electronic control unit (ECU) identifies the signal code. The system's actuator, either a motor or an electromagnetic coil, then performs the locking or unlocking action.
Changing the battery for the Tiggo 5 key is something I'm very familiar with, as I do it often. The key usually has a small groove or screw hole; you can gently pry open the casing with a coin or a small Phillips screwdriver, but don't use too much force to avoid cracking it. The battery inside is a CR2032 coin cell, which you can easily find at supermarkets or auto repair shops. Before installing the new battery, make sure to check the positive and negative markings—usually, the positive side faces up. After replacing the battery, press the casing firmly back together and test the remote's unlocking function a few times to see if the range has improved. Typically, the battery needs replacement every one or two years; if the buttons start responding sluggishly, it's a sign to change it. I recommend keeping a spare battery in the car for emergencies. Doing it yourself saves you some money and helps avoid the hassle of a malfunctioning remote.
