The key for this SUV has a rather simple and minimalist internal and external structure. This greatly facilitates its disassembly and consequently the necessary operations to replace the button battery inside.

All you need is a standard flat screwdriver. First, insert the head of the screwdriver into the gap between the upper and lower covers.

Apply slight force and push outward to separate the two parts. At this point, simply remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. Finally, correctly reassemble the cover.
