How to Replace the Key Fob Battery in a Volvo V60 Cross Country

Steps from the 2021 Volvo V60 Cross Country owner's manual (Remote key with buttons (not the Key Tag, whose 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, then pry the cover up.
  4. Carefully pry out the old battery.
  5. Insert a new CR2032, 3 V battery with the positive side (+) facing upward and press it down until it locks under the catches.
  6. Replace the battery cover and turn it clockwise to CLOSE, then press the rear cover and the front cover back until they click into place.
