What You’ll Need:
Before you begin, gather the following items:

- A small flat-head screwdriver: This will help you pry open the key fob.
- Your 2020 Hyundai Tucson key fob: Have this ready for the replacement process.
Step-by-Step Battery Replacement Guide:
- Locate the release button: On the back of your key fob, find the small, round button. This is the release button for the physical key.
- Release the physical key: Press and hold the release button while gently sliding the physical key out.
- Open the key fob: Using the flat-head screwdriver, carefully insert it into the groove where the physical key was located. Gently pry open the two halves of the key fob. Be careful not to force it open, as this can damage the internal components.
- Remove the old battery: Once the key fob is open, you’ll see the old CR2032 battery. Use your fingernail or the flat-head screwdriver to carefully lift the battery out of its compartment.
- Insert the new battery: Place the new CR2032 battery into the compartment, ensuring the positive (+) side faces up.
- Reassemble the key fob: Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they snap back into place.

Testing Your New Battery:
