How do you replace the battery of an Alfa Romeo 159 key?

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Key

Replacing the key battery of an Alfa Romeo 159 is a piece of cake! First, take the key and locate the small side slot, where you can insert a coin or a screwdriver to open it. Pry gently, without forcing too much, to avoid damaging the plastic. Once opened, you will find the battery: usually a CR2032. Remove it carefully, perhaps using tweezers. Take the new battery, making sure the poles are oriented correctly (usually the positive side facing up), and insert it into its housing. Close the key and immediately try to see if it works. Voilà, mission accomplished!
