How to change the battery

Volvo key fobs are made to last for a long period of time, but sometimes they require batteries that are replaced. If you find that your car does not respond to the key fob buttons or that it takes longer to unlock or start it might be time to replace the batteries.

Place your Volvo key fob first on an uncluttered surface. Locate the button near the key-ring section and then slide it up a few millimeters. Then, use a small screwdriver to pry up the rear edge of the fob shell. Avoid damaging the metal contacts by gently removing the cover.

Remove the old battery, and then replace it with the positive (+) side facing upwards. Be sure to place the battery correctly prior to closing the shell. The battery should be aligned with the other half of the fob body.
