When a Mercedes-Benz Key Fob Battery Needs Replacement
There are a few key warning signs to watch out for when it’s about time to change your Mercedes-Benz key fob. These include:
- Your vehicle becomes more difficult to start. If it takes several minutes to turn on or multiple tries to start, your key fob may have a low battery.
- You can’t lock/unlock the doors or employ the panic alarm.
- Your dashboard shows a warning sign that shows an issue with the charging system.
If any of these Mercedes-Benz low battery warning signs occur, it’s a good idea to be proactive and change the battery in your Mercedes-Benz key fob to avoid any issues on your Rye drive.
How to Replace the Battery on a Mercedes-Benz Key Fob
Is it time to replace the battery in your Mercedes-Benz key fob? Follow these simple steps:
- Determine Key Type
- Check if you have a Chrome Key or a SmartKey® — this will factor into changing the battery.
- Most older Mercedes-Benz models are paired with a SmartKey®. Unlike the Chrome Key, it is cased in plastic.
- If your Mercedes-Benz key fob is cased in metal, it’s a Chrome Key! To determine if your Chrome key is old or new, take a look at the panic button. Is it circular (old) or triangular (new)?
- Check if you have a Chrome Key or a SmartKey® — this will factor into changing the battery.
- Choose the Right Batteries
- A SmartKey® requires two CR 2025 batteries, and the older Chrome Key does too.
- The newer Chrome Key only requires one.
- SmartKey® Battery Replacement Steps
- In order to change your SmartKey® battery:
- Pull the latch at the end of the key holder.
- Put your key horizontally into the open slot.
- Take the battery compartment out.
- Replace the existing CR 2025 batteries with two new ones.
- In order to change your SmartKey® battery:
