The remote control for the Hyundai Santa Fe operates on energy supplied by a 3-volt button cell battery, identifiable by the CR2032 marking on it, and is easily available for just a few pence in various types of shops. Once you have obtained the replacement battery, you can proceed with the replacement.

To do this, extract the mechanical key by pulling it out while pressing the release button. Then, use the key blade to pry open the remote casing.

At this point, you can easily remove the old battery and replace it with the new one.
