This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the fourth generation (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015)
Hyundai Accent in changing the battery in the key fob remote control
for the keyless entry system. Owners of other Hyundai or Kia vehicles such as the Tucson, Elantra, Sonata, Azera, Veloster, Tiburon, Genesis, Lavita, Veracruz, Santa Fe, ix20, i20, ix35, Fluidic Verna, Equus, Cadenza, Forte, Optima, Rio, Soul, Sedona, Sorento, Spectra and Sportage may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement "coin" (A.K.A. "button" or "watch") battery is part number CR2032. It is available from various manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony, GE, Maxell, Energizer and Duracell. The only tool needed to replace the battery is a small flathead screwdriver, butter knife, nail file or a coin used to pry apart the two halves of the fob. |
