Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Locate the Battery Compartment

First, identify the battery compartment. On the back of the key fob, you’ll see a round piece of plastic at the bottom. This is where you’ll access the battery.

2. Open the Battery Compartment

Find the small opening at the bottom of the round plastic piece. Insert your flathead screwdriver into this opening. A smaller screwdriver works best, but any flathead will do.

Push the screwdriver down and pry the back section off. Be careful as the back section will come off easily.

3. Remove the Old Battery

Once the back section is off, the old battery will be exposed. It may fall out on its own. If not, gently dump it out.

4. Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side is facing up. Drop it into the housing.

The battery will be loose but don’t worry; it will be secure once you snap the back section on.

5. Reattach the Back Section

Place the back section of plastic back onto the key fob. Snap it down securely. This will hold the new battery in place.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve successfully replaced the battery in your Volvo XC90 key fob. This new battery should last a long time.
