If your Volvo keyfob is only working intermittently, the battery could be dying and you will require replacement soon. Fortunately, there are some easy steps you can follow to replace your Volvo key fob battery at your own expense. First, you must locate a clean work surface to perform the procedure. Make a list of all the tools you'll require. Find the battery hatch, and open it using the flathead, a coin, or any other similar tool. Next, carefully pry the battery out of its socket by lifting it up on the side closest to the key-ring loop. Wear rubber gloves to protect the clips and electronic contact surfaces. Place the new battery into the socket after the previous one has been removed. Make sure that the positive side of the battery is facing up and that all clips are secured. Slide the cover toward the key-ring area until it becomes loose and it falls off. Then, you can remove the cover and reveal the mechanical key blade inside. This will be used to unlock your car from the driver's side if the key fob battery is dead or lost. How to Start Your Vehicle Modern vehicles are usually equipped with key fobs which can perform much more than just unlock or lock the doors. They can also perform other functions such as summoning and auto parking the vehicle. The new Volvo XC60 is capable of remotely starting your engine with the key fob buttons. But how exactly does it work? Find a clean surface on which you can set up all the materials required for this project. Then lay the fob on the surface with its Volvo logo facing upward. Next utilize a flathead screwdriver or coin or similar device to open the battery hatch to the open position. Avoid touching the electronic contact surfaces with your tools. This could cause the fob's mechanism to stop working properly. Once the hatch is open you can slide the battery into its socket and ensure it is properly seated with the positive (+) side facing up. Once the clips have been locked into place, replace the battery cover and then reassemble the fob. Pressing the unlock button one time will disengage the alarm and unlock the driver's door. Pressing it again will unlock all doors as well as the tailgate. The unlock button is also useful to roll down the windows to let in cool, fresh air on a hot summer's day. If you'd like to do more options, the keyfob could be used to turn on the ERS that will begin the climate control system of the vehicle and allow it to warm or cool the vehicle to the desired temperature when the vehicle is parked. How to Replace the Battery If your key fob isn't locking or unlocking your vehicle as it did in the past then it's time to replace the battery. The process of changing the battery is simple and requires just a small flathead screwdriver or plastic pry bar tool. First find the small slot where the backup/emergency metal ignition key used to be. Insert the blade of a screwdriver, or prybar tool into this slot, and gently pull the back of the fob open. Once you have opened the fob, you can locate and remove the CR 2032 3V battery. Replace the battery and snap back to the fob. Note: Some older Volvos use a different battery that is called the CR2025. CR2025 batteries have an average thickness of 7 tenths one millimeter lower than a CR2032 which means you'll need to be extra careful when replacing your battery.
