Insert a metal-tipped screwdriver into the top part of the key and open the Smart Fortwo key, model produced from 1998 to 2007, into two parts. After opening the key, proceed with replacing the battery and insert a CR2032 in place of the worn-out battery.

Close the remote, and as a final test of the replacement, go near the vehicle to test the key's functionality by opening and closing the vehicle. If the key does not work, it may be necessary to reprogram the key by getting inside the vehicle and turning the ignition on and off several times with the doors closed and locked.
