Replacing the battery in your Range Rover key is a simple task that can be completed in a few minutes with the right tools and materials. By following these instructions, you can restore the functionality of your remote key and avoid costly dealership visits.

Materials You’ll Need:

• New CR2032 battery
• Small flathead screwdriver or coin

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Locate the Key Release Button

The key release button is typically located on the side or bottom of the key. It allows you to separate the key blade from the housing. Press the button and gently pull the key blade away from the housing.

2. Pry Open the Housing

Using the flathead screwdriver or coin, gently pry open the two halves of the housing along the seam. Be careful not to damage the housing or its components.

3. Remove the Old Battery

Use your finger or tweezers to carefully remove the exhausted CR2032 battery. Ensure that you dispose of the old battery responsibly at designated recycling centers.

4. Insert the New Battery

Place the positive side (+) of the new battery facing up into the battery slot. Push it down gently until it fits snugly in place.

5. Reassemble the Housing

Align the two halves of the housing and snap them back together firmly. Ensure that the housing is securely closed to prevent water damage or other issues.

6. Test the Key

Press the lock or unlock button on the key to verify that it is functioning properly. If the key is not working, check if the battery is inserted correctly or consider replacing the key fob itself.

Additional Tips:

• If the replacement battery does not solve the issue, consider replacing the key fob itself.
• Clean the battery contacts before inserting the new battery for optimal performance.
• Avoid touching the battery terminals with your bare hands to prevent corrosion.
• Dispose of the old battery responsibly at designated recycling centers.

Benefits of Replacing the Battery:

• Restores remote key functionality (locking, unlocking, panic alarm)
• Eliminates the need for expensive dealership visits
