How to Replace the Key Fob Battery in a Volvo V60

Steps from the 2020 Volvo V60 owner's manual (remote key with buttons (the Key Tag battery cannot be replaced)).

  1. Hold the key with the Volvo logo facing up, move the button on the key ring section to the right, and slide the front cover slightly upward to remove it.
  2. Turn the key over, move the button to the side, and slide the rear cover slightly upward to remove it.
  3. Use a screwdriver or similar object to turn the battery cover counterclockwise until the markers point to OPEN.
  4. Pry the battery cover up carefully, then pry out the old battery, which has its positive side (+) facing upward.
  5. Insert a new CR2032, 3 V battery with the positive side (+) facing upward and press it down under the catches.
  6. Replace the battery cover and turn it clockwise to CLOSE, then refit the rear and front covers until they click.
