How to Replace a Volvo Replacement Key Fob Your Volvo key fob can do more than unlocking and locking your car. It is also a sophisticated anti-theft device that utilizes specialized technology to communicate with your car in order to stop theft. What happens if the battery on your key fob goes out? Our team at Volvo Cars Mission Viejo has all the answers! How to unlock your Vehicle Modern electronic key fobs offer superior convenience and functionality compared to a traditional manual key. However, they require batteries that will eventually degrade over time and will require replacement. If your Volvo key fob has started to work intermittently, that's an indication that the battery is failing and will require replacement soon. You can replace the Volvo key fob batteries by following a few easy steps. Find a clean area to work on. Then, you can lay out all the tools you require. Find the battery's hatch and turn it open using the flathead, a coin, or other similar tool. Then, carefully remove the battery from its socket by lifting it on the side that is closest to the key-ring loop. Wear rubber gloves to protect the electronic contact surfaces. Once the battery has been removed, put the new battery into its socket. Make sure the positive side of the battery is facing up and that all clips are in place. Then slide the cover back down and toward the key-ring loop section until it is loose and slides off. Remove the cover to reveal the hidden key blade. You can use this to unlock your car from the driver's door in the event that you've lost or broken the key fob. How to Start Your Vehicle The majority of modern vehicles come with key fobs that can perform more than just unlock or lock the doors. They can also be used to perform functions like summoning and auto parking the vehicle. In fact, the latest Volvo XC60 can even remotely start your engine by using its key fob buttons. But what exactly is it that works? First, locate a clean surface on which you can lay out all the required items for this project. Then lay the fob on the work surface, with its Volvo logo facing upward. Use volvo xc90 key or coin, or any other similar tool to open the battery hatch. Be careful not to touch the electronic contact surfaces of the fob using your tools, as this can cause the fob's key to stop functioning properly. Once the hatch is open, slide the battery into its socket, making sure it is properly seated with the positive (+) side facing upwards. After the clips are secured in place, replace the cover of the battery and then reassemble the fob. By pressing the unlock button, you will disengage the alarm and open the driver's door. Repeating this action will unlock all doors as well as the tailgate. The unlock button can also be useful for opening the windows to let in fresh, cool air on a hot summer day. If you'd like more, the keyfob can be used to trigger the ERS that will begin the climate control system in your vehicle. It will warm or cool the vehicle to desired temperature when the vehicle is parked. How to change the battery If your key fob isn't locking or unlocking your vehicle as it used to, it may be time to replace the battery. The process of changing the battery is simple and requires only an ordinary screwdriver with a flat head or plastic pry bar tool. First look for the small hole in which the backup or emergency key fob made of steel used to reside. Place the blade of a screwdriver, or prybar tool into this slot and gently pry the rear of the fob. After you have opened the fob, you can locate and remove the CR 2032 3V battery. Replace the battery, then snap together the fob. Note: Some older Volvos are powered by a different kind of battery that is called the CR2025. CR2025 batteries have an average thickness of 7 tenths a millimeter less than a CR2032, so you'll need to be extra careful when replacing your battery.
