How to Change Key Fob Battery Volvo XC60

If you’re experiencing issues with your Volvo XC60 key fob, like reduced range or unresponsive buttons, a dead battery might be the culprit. Luckily, changing the key fob battery is a quick and easy process you can do yourself, saving you a trip to the dealership. This guide will walk you through each step, ensuring you’re back in control in no time.

Before we start, it’s helpful to know that the Volvo XC60 key fob uses a standard CR2032 battery, which is readily available online and at most stores.

Gather Your Supplies

You only need a few things for this simple task:

A new CR2032 battery: Ensure you have a fresh battery on hand.
A small flat-head screwdriver: This will help to pry open the key fob carefully.

Accessing the Battery Compartment

Locate the small slot on the side of your key fob. This slot is designed for releasing the physical key.
Insert the flat-head screwdriver into the slot and gently pry open the key fob. You should hear a click indicating the two halves are separated. Avoid using excessive force, as this could damage the key fob.

Replacing the Battery

Carefully separate the two halves of the key fob. You’ll see the CR2032 battery nestled inside.
Gently pry out the old battery. Take note of the battery’s orientation for correct placement of the new one.
Insert the new CR2032 battery, ensuring the positive (+) side faces up. The positive side is usually marked on the battery itself.
Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together firmly. You should hear a click, confirming they’re securely closed.

Testing Your New Battery

Once the key fob is reassembled, test all the buttons to ensure the new battery is working correctly. If everything functions as expected, congratulations! You’ve successfully changed your Volvo XC60 key fob battery.

“Remember, a well-maintained key fob ensures seamless vehicle access and a smoother driving experience,” says John Carter, a seasoned automotive technician with over 20 years of experience. “Taking a few minutes to replace a dying battery can save you time and potential frustration in the long run.”
