Step-by-Step Guide to Replace the Battery
Follow these simple steps to replace the battery in your Volvo XC70 key fob:
Step 1: Open the Key Fob
First, flip over to the back of the key fob. Look for a small opening on the bottom section of the plastic. This might be hard to see, but it’s there.
Step 2: Pry Open the Back Section
Take your flathead screwdriver and insert it into the small opening. It’s better if you have a smaller screwdriver, but a common size will work too. Push down into the indentation and pry the back section off.
Step 3: Remove the Old Battery
Once the back section is off, the old battery will be exposed. Simply dump the old battery out and dispose of it properly.
Step 4: Insert the New CR2032 Battery
Grab your new CR2032 battery. Make sure the positive side, which has the plus sign, is facing up. Slide it into place. It might be a bit loose, but that’s okay. The back section will hold it in place once you close it.
Step 5: Secure the Back Section
Place the back section over the battery and click it down until it’s secure. Make sure it’s tightly closed to ensure the battery stays in place.
