When the battery of Baojun 560 key fob dies, align the Baojun logo on the back of the key with the ignition switch for about 30 seconds. The method to replace the battery is as follows: 1. Remove the mechanical key, use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open a small gap from the side of the key, then gradually pry open the gap along the opening; 2. Use the flat-head screwdriver to remove the old battery, insert the new battery with the positive side facing down, reinstall the circuit board in place, align the key cover and press firmly. Taking the 2017 Baojun 560 Rhythm Edition 1.5T Manual Comfort 7-seater as an example: It is a compact 5-door 7-seat SUV under SAIC-GM-Wuling, with dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1755mm in height, a wheelbase of 2750mm, and equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving my Baojun 560 for almost two years now. Last time when I returned from a business trip, the key suddenly stopped working—pressing the remote for a long time didn't get any response from the car. I guessed the battery was dead because I had a similar situation before. I quickly pulled out the mechanical key from the key fob and inserted it into the door lock to open the door and get in. After getting in, I had to press the start button very close to it to start the engine, which the manual says is the induction mode. When I got home, I ordered a new CR2032 battery online for just a few bucks. Using a small screwdriver, I gently pried open the key cover, and the battery inside was easy to remove. After replacing it with the new battery, I tested the remote, and the distance was restored to its original range. I suggest everyone not to ignore battery life—check it regularly or replace it once a year to avoid the hassle of being stranded halfway.
DIY replacement of the Baojun 560 key battery is very practical, and I just did it myself. First, buy a CR2032 coin battery at the supermarket and prepare a small Phillips screwdriver. Locate the small gap on the side of the key and gently pry open the back cover. Be careful not to use too much force when opening it to avoid scratching the casing. After seeing the old battery, pay attention to the positive and negative terminals: usually, the marked side faces upward. Remove the old battery by prying it out with a pointed tool, then install the new one ensuring the correct orientation. Press the back cover firmly back in place and test the remote function. The whole process takes just five minutes, saving you a trip to the repair shop. If it's your first time, searching for a video tutorial for reference is safer. If you don’t have a screwdriver, a coin can be used as a substitute, but be careful not to damage the internal circuitry. This method is perfect for those who frequently DIY—easy and cost-effective.
