How to Replace the Battery in Your Volvo XC60 Key Fob (2017 – 2018)

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Volvo XC60 key fob is a straightforward task you can do at home. In this guide, I will walk you through the steps to replace the battery, ensuring your key fob is back to optimal performance. All you need is a flathead screwdriver and a CR2032 battery.

Gather Your Tools and Materials

Before starting, make sure you have the necessary tools and materials. You will need a flathead screwdriver and a CR2032 coin battery. These batteries are inexpensive and can be found online.

• Flathead screwdriver
• CR2032 coin battery

Opening the Key Fob

To begin, locate the switch on the bottom of the key fob, near the key ring. Hold this switch down while pulling the top part of the key fob. This section is known as the Volvo side. Push and pull to remove this plastic section and set it aside.

Accessing the Battery Compartment

Inside the key fob, you’ll find another switch. This switch is not on the metal part but on the plastic. Hold this switch down and perform the same push and pull motion to remove the back piece of plastic. Now you have access to the battery compartment.

Removing the Old Battery

In the compartment, you’ll see a tab with a picture of a battery. Use your flathead screwdriver to turn the tab until the arrow aligns with the “open” position. Gently push down and turn to open the compartment.

Next, find the small opening on the side of the battery. Insert the corner of your flathead screwdriver into this opening and gently pry the battery out. Dispose of the old battery properly.

Inserting the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Slide the battery under the plastic tab and click it into place. Make sure it is secure.

Reassembling the Key Fob

Once the new battery is in place, align the arrow with the “open” position and push the tab down. Twist the tab until it is in the “closed” position. Now, reattach the back piece of plastic by aligning the tabs with the key ring part and sliding it down until it clicks.

Repeat the same process for the other side with the Volvo logo. Ensure everything is locked up nicely and securely.
