This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the 2nd generation (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015) Hyundai Tucson SUV in changing the battery in the key fob remote control for the keyless entry system.

Owners of other Hyundai and Kia vehicles such as the Accent, Elantra, Sonata, Azera, Veloster, Tiburon, Genesis, Lavita, Veracruz, Santa Fe, ix35, Equus, Cadenza, Forte, Optima, Rio, Soul, Sedona, Sorento, Spectra and Sportage may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A replacement coin cell (A.K.A. "button" or "watch") battery is part number CR2032 which is available from various manufacturers such as Panasonic, Duracell, Sony, GE, Energizer and Maxell.

The only tool needed to replace the battery is a small flathead screwdriver.

You may also be able to use a plastic pry bar tool, a coin, a butter knife, a house key or a nail file to pry apart the two halves of the fob.

Line up the rear cover of the key fob and gently snap together the two halves.

Make sure that the two halves of the key fob are flush together all the way around.

Test the new battery by standing next to your Tucson and pressing the "Unlock" or "Lock" buttons. If the new battery is working properly, you should see the parking lights flash and hear the door locks opening or closing.
