This works for SmartKey, Chrome Key, and newer designs. Always confirm battery type before starting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Remove the Physical Key<\/strong> &#8211; The first step is to remove the physical key from the key fob. This can usually be done by pressing a small button on the side of the fob.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Open the Key Fob Casing<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Using a flathead screwdriver or a plastic trim tool, gently pry open the key fob casing. Be careful not to damage the fob\u2019s surface.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Remove the Old Battery<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; You\u2019ll see the old battery once the casing is open. Use your fingers or a small tool to remove the old battery.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: Insert the New Battery<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Insert a new CR2025 or CR2032 battery (depending on the key fob model). Ensure the positive side is facing up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: Reassemble and Test<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Snap the key fob casing back together. Test the fob by pressing the buttons to ensure they are responsive.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/blog\/mercedes-benz-driver-assistance-safety-features\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How Mercedes-Benz Driver Assistance Features Keep You Safe on Arizona Roads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>When to Visit a Certified Mercedes-Benz Service Center&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If changing the battery doesn\u2019t resolve the issue, it may be time to visit a certified service center.
