How to Replace the Remote Battery for a Ford Kuga

Model: Ford Kuga C520, MK 2 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Key

This guide shows how to replace the remote battery for the 2014 Ford Kuga. The first step is to open the compartment where the physical key is stored, using the two buttons on the side of the remote. At this point, use a flathead screwdriver to separate the two halves of the remote. You can then replace the old battery with a new CR2032, ensuring the positive terminal is placed at the bottom of the housing. Following the previous steps in reverse, reassemble the remote. After the replacement, check the remote's proper functioning.
