Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to replace the battery of the remote control for the Hyundai Santa Fe: this remote control uses a CR2032 button battery, which can be easily found at any supermarket or electronics store at a very low price. We will also need a screwdriver (possibly small) with a flat head.

First, remove the emergency key by pulling up the chrome ring. Keeping the buttons facing downward, use the screwdriver to pry open the space left by the key, separating the two halves of the remote control.

Inside, we find the battery, secured in a kind of safety cage: push it out with the tip of the screwdriver and replace it with the new one, paying attention to the polarity. Put back the cover, then the emergency key, and the job is done.
